Every game is beatable to some extent through procedural errors and promotions. Right now this is probably not something that should concern you too much.
Baccarat is generally a lot more beatable...
When you're on a terrific winning streak and all is going great, do you often stop to check your play and evaluate if you're making any mistakes? No? Why not? You do it when you're losing! Is it that...
No, it's been a number of years. It's because I no longer live near casinos that offer the game.
The game was very beatable when I played it. This was within the first few years of Walker's book...
Can you just do a normal hourly EV to AV comparison? Trying to do it on a per shoe basis seems like it's adding an extra layer of complexity with no benefit.
The one size fits all that you mention is uniquely so that SCORE can make apples-to-apples comparisons. If you prefer to generate hourly win rates for different scenarios, by all means be my guest....
Thanks again Don. I am able to get no heat (at least as far as I can tell) and unfortunately the casino in question only has one playable blackjack table... Think I am forced to stay at the same...
That is untrue. Variance impacts the computer-perfect counter much as it does everyone else. There is no way for a counter to improve their game so that losing streaks do not happen.
I think what...
Oh yeah, plenty of ploppies!
I used KO during my first few years of play and then switched to HiLo. Reason I switched was I started playing Sp21 when Walker's book was first published and I...
Have you taken the edibles after the first dose?
How long is there pain relief after the THC has worn off?
I have mild to moderate sciatic pain in my left leg from a herniated disc. I've...
Appreciate your response Don. So much information around and I'm trying to decipher it all.
A guy named James Grosjean wrote a while back that all this talk of variances is a bunch of BS and it's...
I had a shoe from hell 2 nights ago. I was heads up in a very deep cut and lost every hand except two of them. I was near max bet by the time the first deck was dealt and there were many splits and...
I agree completely but that is not what I'm asking. I'm not suggesting to look at personal results to determine EV and variance. That is why we have simulations! Personal results are statistically...
Keep repeating to yourself, "It's just one loooong session."
It's often good to leave when you're losing to "book" a loss.
Many years ago, I was playing at Caesars AC and was experiencing the...
I use SMC for SP21, and hilo for BJ. It's simple as both are balanced, and I use the same betting ramp when jumping back and forth between games. I tried the Kat count at first, but disliked...
See the top of page 348 for a description of the three playing styles of the study. If you're never going to leave the table, even when you're below the optimal departure point, I'm afraid I can't...
