    Which is a better counting scenario?

    Can't figure out how to sim this one:

    1. Playing DD (H17, 60-70% pen), using HiLo with an ace side count.
    or
    2. Playing DD (same as above), using HiLo without an ace side count, but simultaneously counting the 6D game (H17, 1-1.25 deck cut off) on the adjacent table, and jumping in if/when it gets juicy. (I'm not Tarzan and can't maintain the ace side count AND count a second game at the same time...)

    quite obvious its 2 tables at a time. side count aces requires more effort and insurance doesnt happen often enough. better let the guy that really know answer. i m just ranting.

    Two, but I think the casino should know you are counting since you stare all the cards on the two tables.

    One is safer. Also you should side count 7 if your main count is H-Lo.

    I would always choose DD with LS/Wong outs and heads up. Can't go wrong.

    I wonder if there is any way you can practice backcounting multiple tables in Casino Verite Blackjack. Even though I can count down two tables at the same time. It is good to maintain a practice to strengthen that skill. I don't want to keep going to the casino just to practice backcounting multiple tables.

    Th full table drils have a two-table back-counting drill. If you're into torture, it also has a two-table back-counting drill with side-counting that tests you on all four counts. The mobile drill apps also have this.

    There are two apps, the practice game and the drills. They have different functions. To see the count on the game as you play -- Launch the game, click Stats. Then turn on Display Running Count, and Back.
