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.

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.

I saw another poster begin his posts along the lines of ? ?. however, I could be wrong.?

This is how I always feel, so keep it in mind as we discuss.

The answer to your 'bet ramp' question, and most others, is not as cut and dried as you think. However, I believe you?ll also begin to find out they don?t have to be.

Yes, you must play a sound game, you must know BS, you must know how to count and convert the RC, you must know some BS variations, you must not over bet your bank roll; it?s all true. And you do need to have a fundamentally sound foundation from which to play, but ?

? don?t get to caught up in the cut and dried.

Having said that; let those here know what game you are playing (decks, pen, rules, your RoR tolerance) and a bet ramp can be devised.

Again, having said that, your gonna have to get BJA3. Either now or later. Without it it?s like showing up for class with no books. You?ll be in the dark. It?s no fun to read, but neither was Algebra II.

Back on betting .. I?d also get a copy of Arnold Snyder?s book Blackbelt in Blackjack. If for nothing else there is a great few pages on ?oppositional betting? that I think are terrific. I read and re-read those pages probably monthly because that is how I like to play.

Betting one for bad and two for good, over and over, with every other counter at the table, is a boor and can be a give away. They all learned a bet ramp and are sticking to it!

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.

Spread? Acceptable ROR? Bankroll?

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

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