Well after several months of preparation, I'm getting close to embarking on my blackjack career at the casinos. One of my last steps is tons of practice on Norm's CVBJ game. (Incidentally, the built-in heat meter is an excellent tool - kudos Norm for including it). This brings me to my question to all of you seasoned players (I suppose "jackers" or "BJ'ers" are NOT preferred synonyms): can anyone give any correlation between the CVBJ Heat Meters (there are two, one for the pit heat, the other for surveillance heat) and real life heat? I know real life heat has many many variables, I'm just looking for generalities here. (BTW, my slightly camo'd betting ramp of 1:12 regularly hits surveillance heat around shoe # 4). If the pit heat meter stays in the green, am I (on average) OK? If the surveillance heat turns on, but still in the green, am I (on average) OK? Any insight would be much appreciated. -NN
