GT: Units Bet- True Count

[GT]

Does anyone have a complete chart of how many Units should be bet versus the True Count? (Example, True Count equals 2, bet 2 units.)

Also I will say that I have played with some of the finest players around today and they make some big jumps at much smaller edges than what you will see written in "How to" books. Of course that has alot to do with bankrool. I know I sometimes move "all in" at pos 3 and make a large wager at +2. But this is not for everyone.

BJ books are overly conservative on the rapidity of ramping in multi-deck games. In my mind, the two biggest mistakes made by BJ players are too large a unit size and too conservative a ramp.

There are 140 charts in chapter 10 of BJA3 with this information. Every chart has a different bet ramp. You need to tell us everything about the game you play and the spread you use.

Currently, I only play AC 8 Deck BJ.

I was looking for a chart like the following, but for AC Conditions:

Also, what kind of Unit Spread is best for AC Conditions?

Hi GT

You mention in your post that you only play 8 deck AC.

It's not a secret that I also ONLY play AC.

So just for the record.

Excellent $25.00 6 deck games at the Hilton and also and more important, every game is a 6 deck game at the bogota.

At the bogota you can play a $10.00 6 deck game.

Unless you're wonging/backcounting an 8 deck game in AC, I think you should try to avoid them.

Good luck

Hi Hollywood,

And yes, I Wong the 8 deck games. I don't feel like wasting money:-)

Hi GT

Always glad to help a fellow criminal (just how the casinos consider us)

The problem with the services you mention is that I find the conditions change so rapidly in AC that they are almost of no help.

One thing good about AC is that it's small. Unlike LV you can review stuff on your own very easily and if you don't like what you see you can either walk next store or take an $8.00 cab to the furtherest one.

Once they followed me out of a casino to see where I was going and I jumped into one of those jittys on the board walk and had a guy push me to another casino, walked into that one right out to a cab in the front to back to the casino they followed me from to get my car.
It was the last time I parked where I played.

At the hilton they have 10 tables outside the pit that are all 6 deck games, 2 of which have mid shoe entry.

Unfortunately on the weekends when they are busy, they increase the table minimums.

Bogota has by far the largest 6 deck choices.
With every table being 6 decks, you need only search for the good pen and right dollar amount that meets your criteria.

But, you need not wong to beat the 6 deck game in AC, I beat them solidly every year without exception since I put Don in my life and read the bible (BJ ATTACK) nightly.

A couple of tips:

I keep a log book of dealers that give good pen. I find they are creatures of habbit. It consists of names and general descriptions of the person.
And the shift I see them on.

I find in AC, the same people are on the same shifts and it almost never changes.

Many of the dealers moonlight at other casinos.

This is quite helpful, if you have a dealer giving excellent pen. In a casual conversation they will tell you how they are a single parent and working 2 jobs and the where and when.
You can just happen to find yourself at his or her table when they are at the 2nd job.

I wear a watch that is made for handicap people. It monitors for me how long i've been playing without anyone realizing it's vibrating on my wrist. I preset it also for shift changes, so that the 2 shifts are not having a conversation about me when the new people come on like in a hospital.

Resorts, showboat and sands, hilton bogota have been best games as of this weekend.
Marina, Harrah, Trump Plaza and ceasar are burn joints at the moment.
Trop stay away from completly pen is so bad I don't even list it as a burn joint. They almost cut the cards in half, also even after the dealer does that she/he yells "shuffle check" and waits for a pit approval on the rediculous cut.

I usually go to AC 3 times a week, so if it works for you, just let me know when you are going and I will give you up to the minute conditions.

I hope some of this helps.

Sun lied to you. I'm not a nice guy
