Well, I am still losing at that casino. Since my last post, I have played twice, lost another $800. Today, I played 9-10 shoes, with 1-4 other players, the count never went high positive (TC4 or more) and only once went high negative (TC-4) and I had wronged out. I was playing 2 hands to start, dropping to one hand of $15 at TC-1 and wonging out at TC -3.
At one point, dealer had an Ace up, 2, under, hit with 10 and then 4 straight Aces. At another time 7 4’s were on the table. Everyone noticed this because first base had a pair of 4’s and had played a $10 top bet that would have netted him a lot of money. He did not get it.
Cannot believe the consistent losing in a casino with a cut card placed at 30 cards in a 6 deck shoe, counting with no cover and yet no real heat. It seemed, from the look on the pit guy walking about the floor, that he knew. He just always glanced at my chips as he went by.
in any case, I am down about $5k this year, plan to take a break.
Zee's post is like me saying it is raining today and I lost. Must be the rain?
His spread is anemic at best and stupid at worst. You can not beat a 6 deck game with that spread.
Near the end, the house edge decreases about .2% for every 26 cards, it is the place you will have more positive opportuniites and will therefore have larger bets and lose or win at much higher rates. Duh?
Luck is nothing more than probability taken personally!
