Opinion on "even money" and max bet BJ.

[Norm]

Lol. That's very good Don S. You are starting to learn midwest humor. I have the time, money, and tools to put you DD strategy to the test. I just need to figure where schedule my flights.

I think you misunderstood the post. You post too much. Period.

Zee was not intentionally lying. He has never paid much attention to the game.
Addicted gamblers want/need to stay in action, while all else pales by comparison.
As long as he can pat himself on the back for being a participant on this forum
he can create the requisite rationalizations for his pathological gambling behavior.

R O T F L M A O.......Consider the Source! .......Zee gets an F for spewing claptrap.

I never made such a statement. At some, such as GS in Tunica, you can go back and forth from 1 hand to 2 hands and you can play the $25 minimum on being th hands. Next door at the HS, if you want to play 2 hands at $25 min. Games, you have to play $50 on both hands if you wish to play 2 hands. I have also played at some where the first hand is $25, the second must be $50.

At HS, I have had a dealer and a pit tell me that under NMSE, I cannot go to a second hand after starting a shoe with one hand unless I am playing heads up. It seems that when there is another ploppy or two at the table, I may not go to 2 hands once the shoe started.

Flash, you must be feeling frustrated and having a need to take it out. I do appreciate that no matter what you think of me, you enter threads started by me or miss me so much that you mention me on n others threads.

Haha! You can count on Zee to stir up shit in every forum with his nonsensical posts, just as much as you can count on Moses to bury any thread under montains of his "contributions."

"The question (AND answer) on this thread seems pretty straight forward, so here's my question: why are we approaching post #300??"

For the same reason a dog licks his balls: because he can!

We are approaching 300 because every thread on this forum is a candidate to end, sooner or later, in a discussion about what someone had for breakfast. Unspeakable inability of virtually everyone to stay on topic. Hopeless, incessant rambling. Never seen a group more enamored of listening to themselves talk.

Don

Ditto.

Flash. I'd never really thought about it.
I'd always viewed a scenario such as this as a simple (and quick)
Yes or No answer. Personally, I'd interested in what would prompt
you to negotiate and then how you'd go about it.

"Prompt? ... negotiate?"

A simple way to be "made" as a Card Counter is for the EITS to check
and see that whenever you took Insurance you had a large bet out and
it just happened to correlate perfectly with the TC.

No negotiation is needed. Not ever. You just move whatever amount
forward while saying: " ... For less." [a la "doubling for less."]

This is very good "cover" as you can insure for (perhaps) 50% of X,
where X is 1/2 your bet, or a smaller fraction when you have a hand
of 19 or 20 or 11 and the count is ZERO or above, when the hand is
poor and the count is borderline for surrendering.

"I suppose a Yes "and" No answer right at 33% guarantees a profit."

NO. You are not thinking clearly here. It guarantees "breaking even."

Most days I wish to break even. I need the extra money.

Bosox, I thought you were one of the good guys.
Nothing to learn in this morass of misinformation, monopolized by two guys who post so much they can't possibly have any significant time to play BJ. I'm outta here, again.

[BoSox]

21 forme, when something is not right, someone who just ignores it is equally at fault. Nothing changes the fact that I absolutely respect your blackjack knowledge, that I know could benefit many on any board.
