    You have a very small spread. This is a meaningless game. You do not win, just get under the radar.

    Oh really? I suggest you read my original post again before saying that. People have some severe reading comprehension issues these days

    At a monster count the deck is loaded with good cards but it takes the RC reducing to indicate you are actually playing advantage rounds. I have been betting and getting my ass kicked because the RC just kept going up until the end of the shoe. I have lost because the deck was extremely rich in T's and A's and that was what I played against every round as the dealer's up-card. That makes things really hards.

    Then I had this one time the first count and second count were both positive but the first was really positive which indicated lots of T's and not as many but a lot of aces, Then the T's started coming out but not the aces. I was winning max bet after max bet from the playing advantage. But eventually the T's got close top normal but then the A's were really really plentiful. Then the A's started coming out. Like 5 decks worth of aces in 2 decks of play. Then both counts were inegative but hadn't lost a hand so I kept betting pretty heavy. The aces kept coming out and I kept winning. At the shuffle the second count indicated that probably every ace in the shoe had been dealt and very few T's were left. I did push the last round with a win and a loss though.

    The point is, the count change for each round indicates what cards you are playing each round. The count indicates what cards you expect you will play in the next round. Most of the time these two things are quite different. Only over the long run does the overall play approach what you execute when you made your bets. Most of the time you watch as advantage round after advantage round causes the count to tank round after round. Only when the cards that come out start to raise the count that you are playing disadvantage rounds.
    Yes, I understand the concept already. Just stating my frustration that's all and wondering what the odds of that happening were and no one has given me an answer, but instead try to educate me on things I already know and understand.

    May i have a scientific answer that if all the "hammerings" occur on high counts (when you lose all your max bets) then how can you make up those lost bets??
    What happens practically when you're winning your max bets? Blackjacks, double downs and splits opportunities arise with success?

    It's why I play DD though lately, I am increasing 6 deck play. I have a hard time handling 6+ max bet losses in a row and this rarely happens in DD.

    I don't have any problem putting out 1-24 spreads. It's just like losing on high counts feel like a gut shot. I felt numb walking out of the casino.

    We only had one poster that ever worried about the odds of something when he lost. That poster has been banned under many different handles. If you play long enough the odds are 100% that this will happen.

    By the way, ZK posted a suicide note early this morning on WoV. He is thinking of jumping off the bridge after a big loss. It has generated 4 pages of posts in 12 hours. Many on WoV urged people knowing him go to his place and talk him out of it.

    ,

    in spite of your brashly ironic name, you apparently have yet to
    learn that at your higher True Counts you are still an underdog
    to win your upcoming hand/round. Your optimistic outlook is
    understandable, but
    ill conceived, in the short haul.
