Wave - no need to get discouraged by the negativity and it’s really good to think critically like that.
To be perfectly honest it’s highly unlikely that you’re going to add anything innovative and valuable to the field of card counting because at its core it’s extremely simple and because really smart people like don have figured most things out by now, because it’s been around for so long. Tons of other opportunities in gambling though so I encourage you to keep thinking critically like that
I promised I'd stay out of this and have, of course, done so since my one and only post on the topic. Now, some 80 more posts later (!!), someone has finally arrived to state the painfully obvious -- something I had been waiting for so that I didn't have to post again, which I've been on the verge of doing for three days!
OF COURSE you'll get the same sim results for playing a SINGLE shoe (!!), even more ridiculously, with a 1-4 spread (!!) with FIFTY units (!!) and then, increasingly more and more. Fifty or 50 million ... what's the difference? Clearly, nothing at all! It should have been child's play for anyone to understand that.
Now, play the shoe with the 1-12 or 1-16 spread that it demands for play-all, and begin with, say, 20 or 30 units, and then progress upwards, and you will see DRAMATICALLY different sim results. Of course, yet again, limiting to one shoe -- 43 hands -- is an absurd notion. Why not just do the sims for ten hands and show us how you really don't need more than 50 units!! What an incredibly naive and absurd notion. What a fundamentally shallow understanding of the rudimentary mathematics of the game! EIGHTY posts for nothing but drivel. Sad.
And, of course, more important than all of the above, also reiterated by you and stated by several others, is the ridiculous, amateurish notion of putting a stop limit on a shoe, if you should be in the middle of a positive plus count and potentially large advantage. I think it's 100% safe to say that I have been playing blackjack for 45 years and have NEVER, ever, walked away in the middle of a positive shoe. I'd rather die first.
So now, this is one more post than the one I promised to make in this thread. Can we all please allow it to die the death that it so richly deserves?
