I think G has been hibernating in a cave or is just getting into the game if he didn't know what happened when 6:5 SD and DD originally hit the seen. I don't see how he wasn't aware of it. Perhaps he works for the casinos and is fishing for info. If you see a game with no heat it is a good opportunity if you can figure out how to make it work.
Then why doesn't he know the history of the 6:5 rule change and the opportunities it allowed. I guess our networks don't overlap. If they did he would know who I am and wouldn't say the things he said. I just don't share my breakthroughs. I tried that once and it was a disaster. I learned my lesson. If you knew you wouldn't be calling me clueless. I have figured a lot of very powerful stuff out that nobody has ever thought of. There are either very few trailblazers out there or they all learned the same lessons I did and protect their research. I am betting on the latter.Originally Posted by bjarg
Interesting thread. I will and have played 6:5 single deck with great rules, dealt deep and the pit just looking and laughing on my spread. A lot of good info from this thread and a lot of 'idiot' calling. Not sure why people think it's okay to call someone an idiot or stupid if they are playing a game that is making them money. I guess I haven't put myself on that pedestal yet.........
I dont think this is what's being discussed.
Leaving aside specific and short lasting opportunities, moving forward and thinking long term do you think a blackjack AP is going to be better off with or without 6:5?
What GMan did was propose an idea to try to fight back, educate people NOT to play 6:5 and maybe, just MAYBE, if casinos start feeling the impact they will have no choice to go back to 3:2.
This happened in many countries and cities that tried to introduce double zero wheels in roulette.
People not only wouldnt play them, but it also generated bad publicity for casinos because what people said was that casinos were trying to reap them off.
Double zero tables where empty and the pressure left no choice but to remove all of those tables.
What he is proposing might feel like shooting a train with a water pistol, but in my opinion is certainly a step in the right direction.
Well that has already been successful at some casinos around me. Poppies are smarter around here. They only open 6:5 on weekends for the rubes. If they open them during the week nobody plays them. It took a long period of talking with ploppies to get a message tree working through ploppyland but eventually the ploppies spread the word for us. Only the clueless play. I would be at one of the crowded 3:2 tables and a couple of guys would ask if they had any more BJ tables. The Floor said the empty pit over there is all BJ. They said it is all 6:5, which isn't BJ. They were in a group of about 7 people. They rounded everyone up. Several were playing at the $25 minimum craps table and a couple more were in the Hi-limit slots. They made a point to come back as a group and tell the Floor they were all going to the competing casino across the way that had real BJ. I had played with them before. They were clueless ploppies with too much money and ready to loss a lot at whatever casino they all went to. That wasn't going to be a casino with 6:5 BJ. Generally the people with more money tend to be pickier about what they do with it, but the people with almost no money don't. They aren't poor because they are smart.

Let's be clear. I am not endorsing a 6:5 game. I will seek and play the best games possible in my travels, but an empty 6:5 table with the rules I stated compared to a packed high fiving ploppies tables I may play. 6:5 BJ is here, you can't ignore it, but you can put it in as part of your play if conditions dictate.
