Blackjack Terms you are confused about?
I don't know what it means to Color Up. Does that mean you are ready to leave? :/
Coloring up is when you give your chips to the dealer to exchange them for higher denomination chips (different color, ergo color up). This is usually only done when you're about to leave a table, because you don't want to walk around with stacks of red ($5) chips when you can carry a few green ($25) chips, and the dealer wants to keep the red chips so they can keep dealing without running out.
You have been a senior member for so long but haven't heard about "color up." What did you say to the blackjack dealer when you were about to leave the table after you won a lot of red chips?Originally Posted by Blackjack Newbie
Okay, thanks for the answer!

Just because someone's been on the forum for a long time (or can count down a deck in 20 seconds) doesn't mean they're any good as a card counter, or even been to a casino at all. You get all sorts of folks in these forums, some even actively against the idea of card counting.
I have a hard question for you. Suppose I have a 6-deck shoe, I have used a bet spread of 1/2/4/8/16/16 for true count of 0/+1/+2/+3/+4/>=+5, because I believe my bet should be inversely proportional to the probability, 27%/10%/5%/3%/2%/3%, of the corresponding true count. However, I recently found out from literatures that most authors’ bet is proportional to their advantage (and inversely proportion to their variance). This means, if the advantages are 0%/0.5%/1%/1.5%/2%/2.5%, then the bet spread should be 1/2/4/6/8/10. Based their theory, I can also gamble more by using a different spread of 1/4/8/12/16/20. Can you help invest some time to find out which bet spread make scientific sense? You are good at probabilities and you have CVCX, so you may know the answer. I fear I have been too conservative playing blackjack.

I'm someone who tries to avoid being victim to the Dunning-Kruger Effect, so I try to give advice as little as possible in areas I'm not competent. Black Jack and card counting definitely qualify. Given the fact that I'm someone who will avoid giving advice on this topic and am still about to give advice, I think should be taken into consideration while reading my advice and deciding if you will follow it:
Buy CVCX (And CVBJ while you're at it)
I am someone who prefers not to spend my money. For an example of this, Xbox Live has a promotion for new users on their "Game Pass" product that cost $1 for 1 month... I had to talk myself into it...
But there's a difference between being stingy and being stupid and not buying a product that will help optimize your betting in the specific games you're playing, help you train, etc etc.. is being the latter. Especially if you're going to be risking thousands of dollars.
Buy it.

But ken Uston, Revere, hundreds other successful pros didn’t buy it. Don’t think the MIT team did either..... My son got great grades in some classes without even buying the text book. Sure, it could have made it easier but not necessary..
