    Yes. It goes on top like a rainbow. You keep doing that until you get blackjack.

    it is important to streamline your bets. you only want to use one colour of chips and keep the amounts 'simple'.

    I see this advice a lot, but not sure I agree with this as a general rule. I realize it will help speed the game up, but other than that, why make it easy for them? Also, keep in mind, ploppies mix colors.

    If you make their job easier they are more tolerant than if you make their job harder.

    How does making the dealer happy have anything to do with tolerance of an AP? He's not the one that goes to the phone. And if EITS is counting you down, the mixed bets make it tougher to do...

    My Stats professor was teaching at more than one university at the time.
    He told me that had I been his student in either of the two classes
    (that I took with him) that he was teaching at M.I.T. or at Harvard I would
    have simply FLUNKED !

    The following year I faced a crisis. I was young but my wife was yet a teenager
    and when Dr. Igor Kusyszyn wanted to chair my Doctoral Dissertation in Canada
    at York University in Downview, Ontario (soon to be in Toronto) I had to say no
    as my beloved bride was very upset with the idea of moving to Canada.

    Of course many of us got to know him as Lance Humble, a blackjack pioneer.
    That was in the very early 70's ~ just before he turned his gaze from Harness
    Racing to Blackjack!

    Hi flash

    I just wonder whats the best possible EV unit\hour can be achieved for a real good professional player. I understand it depends on many things like betting spread, back count, etc, im thinking if in the long run without get back out by too many casinos, whats the best possible hourly EV can possibly be achieved.

    Thx

    Your question is absolutely impossible to answer. You can have years where you'll be hoping to "break even."
    You'll have years where a (very) low Six Figures in net earnings may happen. There are numerous facts that
    an amateur like yourself must understand. Firstly, it is clear to anyone who was playing BJ in the mid 19th
    century that every year it becomes harder to succeed. The Game Conditions worsen. The casinos now make
    a tiny fraction of their net earnings from Blackjack. They only keep the games going because older patrons
    expect it and tourists and weekend warriors will play crowded 8 deck tables that are H17. Earning a living
    means $35,000 per annum to some people, while others will feel that they require double that to live any
    comfortable lower-middle-class existence. Anyone who answers your query with actual figures is not remotely
    knowledgeable. The answers are NOT mathematical, but they are matters of economics.

    I am glad that I am over 70 and only play blackJack a few days a month nowadays. The future looks ghastly.
