Road trip

I would bet an old $2 that the OP was attracted to Blackjack after watching Inside the Edge!
Go on my friend... I better stop here.

Hey G Man,

My dad has done low stakes $300/day milking from the casinos for decades so he got me into it. I'm just trying to take it to the next level.

All right!
Many players are watching movies and think it's going to be an easy ride... Happy to see you're not one of them.

I think the casinos took it to the next level since your Dad’s road trip. It ain’t the same game no more..

Playing locally I haven't noticed much of a difference besides that one joint after a remodel. You either go get the EV or you don't.

Well the difference is that not many casinos anywhere are going to let you bet a spread of $25 to 2 x $200 at DD for long. In your Dad’s time, one might have gotten away with it but not these days. At DD, the first time you play that 2 x $200 after staying at $25 on most neutral and negative counts, you will be noticed. If you lose that round, maybe they give you another chance but you are under their radar and on your way to getting backed off, win or lose any more.

As usual with Arby, this is just wrong. I have several places where I can play exactly this spread and have been doing so for several years. My cumulative wins at three casinos in particular are in the mid-five figures. Arby carries his losing attitude to all aspects of his game and then makes bummer pronouncements as if is he some kind of blackjack sage. He did this on CBJN for years, then BJA until he got tiresome and was banned.

That was really cool. I accidentally responded to Zee, instead of you. Norm must have deleted saving me the trouble. Had to do with familiarity of writing styles.

Well, I have been reading right on this forum from esteemed AP’s that DD games are counter traps. Add to that where I have been backed off ar a number of casinos, just betting 1-8 spreads on DD.

Why don’t you post a thread here asking what spread will get you backed off playing DD?

1) They can't back you off if you leave after showing your top bet. 2) After you get backed off a few times you become more familiar with the lead up and can get out of dodge before anything happens. It's one of those things where you don't know till you know. Get backed off, get some experience

I been playing since before you were born....likely backed off way more than you.

You’re going to leave after showing your top bet on dd? Well you won’t be staying in one place very long.

Why would I? I've been successful playing full-time for the past several years. I know what I can and can't get away with. Plus, I have a spine and lack a shoebox.
