    I don’t see any issues suggesting a low flat bet wonging has where you can season yourself, but 1-10 wonging when you don’t understand betting is not wise. Rules look okay other than no surrender.

    Also, the betting ramp you would employ given a specific rule set, would be dependant on deck penetration. What I’m generally saying Is because if your obvious inexperience - watch your ass.
    I have only been introduced to HiLo. That’s the only one I’m comfortable enough playing and the only one I know. I never play 1-10 that’s where I want to end up. I mostly flat bet now because I’m unsure of how to bet. I don’t want to be a flat bettor, i want to know the “optimal” betting amounts relative to counts.

    Stanford Wong’s Professional Blackjack is the first book you should buy, suitable beginner to expert, excellent ho lo tables plus reams of other info. What is your general locale.

    Where do you live. General area. You said not USA. If it’s Europe, you’re likely missing a rule, which will negatively impact your spread and further, you would need to be updated as to what would not apply to you from Wong’s Book.

    Short notes. Do you play no hole card, European no hole card, or a hole card game,

    No no. I live in the United States. I have to travel to Canada or the Bahamas. I’ve played a lot in the falls and in Windsor. Approximately 3 hours from both. I’ve only been to Atlantis once because it was a Caesars rewards trip. I have never played no hole card.
