tilted247: Spanish 21

[tilted247]

Can you use any of the card counting systems for Spanish 21?
Is there an actual system to count for Spanish 21?
I figure the 10's are taken out, so you would technically start the count at -32 right?
What if you count a + card as neutral?
I am a decent card counter, and have recently found Spanish 21.
I did pretty well my first time playing and used the hi/lo system.
The count went pretty high, but it seemed to work...
Can anyone help?

You can, but it may not be worth it. Check out this link:

For an 8-deck game, yes.

> What if you count a + card as neutral?

The counting system would have to be based on the effects of removal of each card. Randomly including or eliminating card values will not necessarily improve the betting correlation. I would imagine that there are several good counting system for this game, but I don?t know how often advantageous situations arise or how much of a bet spread is required to take advantage of them. Perhaps someone who has done more research could give us some numbers here?

Sonny gave you a great overview of the current state-of-knowledge concerning Spanish 21. Coincidentally, RGE will probably be publishing a ground-breaking new book on Spanish 21 early next year.

Most Spanish 21 opportunities lie outside the U.S.

Good Cards,

How much can I pay you NOT to publish that book? ;-)
