Cheating in Diria Casino, Tamarindo Costa Rica

I am not a troll. I lost too much in blackjack and hope to turn the tables. Let me refine my answer to your quiz.

Of course you are, However, I view this as too good for the membership, including the douchebags, dumb fucks and ignorant assholes. Also, your prior posts and this one tell me your too smart too have lost money. Now, you’re not a dumb fuck or ignorant asshole - I put you in the category of douchebag.

There are 11 different card combinations that will produce a TC 10.
If there aren't any aces remaining, four of them do not worth insuring.
If there are four aces remaining, eight of them do not worth insuring.

Youre right on the 11 card combos equaling True 10. You pooched the rest of this. Look deeper.

Considering all odds together in casinos, I probably still will insure all of them though, because the normal condition is that there are 2.5 Aces (Can you verify this number? Don or anybody?) in the remaining half deck.

Forget normal or otherwise statistically average conditions. That’s what this exercise is all about. Why would you possibly do that, especially when you have previously exclaimed that you are out for maximum EV value - guess you’re not as smart as I thought you were.

now, regarding your ridiculous quest to determine when to go 1 hand 2 hand at true 1, both Don and I have given you the proper answer, in different ways - and possibly others - yet only a troll would persist.

one last point for the dumb ducks and ignorant assholes. I should put in a disclaimer suggesting you not read this, that it is too confusing. Suppose I should put that in the beginning.

And ask yourselves - how does this exercise pertain to the regaled FBM ASC Advanced System. The gauntlet - refused so many times - if you ride this through, what is the surprising inescapable conclusion.

Nah. Just about every post he's made with math in it has been wrong.

I wish you'd have noticed they were dealing 2nds by the end of the first shoe instead of it getting so costly. There are numerous ways for a casino to cheat, although it's uncommon, and that's one of them. I noticed something was amiss in a Native American casino in the US once years ago, an easy bump on the house edge that could be baked right into the cake. If I owned a casino that was completely unregulated with no scrutiny, I would know exactly how to make an unbeatable blackjack game from multiple angles, and if I can find a game in CONUS that I had questions on, you can bet your ass that I'm going to be watching for dealing seconds at Pedro's Casino, Dry Cleaning, and Whorehouse someplace in Chile, because I know how easy it is to do. You're not going to notice it unless you are looking for it, and you're not going to be looking for it unless you suspect it.

I try hard not to nitpick, and God knows I have 100 opportunities a day, but the above is really somewhat embarrassing, no? Is it really that hard to proofread what you write before you post?

Amen, it was a quite costly life lesson, but i guess onwards and upwards.

Quick quiz. Should only take a minute.
You have 26 cards left in a 6 deck shoe (dealt to the bottom?). RC is 5, TC is 10. How many different card combinations are there that will produce TC 10. How many of those card combinations would you insure against dealer ace. With more knowledge, how many aren’t worth insuring.

During our breakfast almost 6 years ago, I talked about certain thoughts and theories. The acronym started later, FBM ASC started as a joke - but it does have a certain ring to it. The link below describes a more recent post - it’s beginning thoughts starting before, during and after that breakfast.

Now, you play what I view as a high variance game. Post your win percentage (which automatically discloses your loss percentage. Then, post your average dollar win and your average dollar loss. Change the values here if u like, but keep the proportions the same.

Since no one took the gauntlet, most of the rest is by email.

Ok, ive read the link, and just digesting the info. I don't actually have access to my win/loss ratio, as in my notes i just dont include it. I just keep EV earned, hrs played, a sidebar for notes, etc.
My biggest question is how much this is worth to do percentage wise? What is the biggest advantage to it? If you want to keep in private, just reply by email.
