Thread: can someone give advices for Spanish 21?

    As an avid Spanish 21 player myself, allow me to re- emphasize some advice given here.

    Start with Katarina's system. (I did). It is tedious, being both unbalanced and TC calculating, but it works really well.

    Also, get some basic strategy charts from the Wizard of Odds to supplement your understanding.

    Then, if you like, find a balanced TC system, or develop your own (I did). Suppress the 7 and manage the Ace, as pointed out above. This will improve upon your skills and make it easier if you do it right.

    Secret Monkey was an early attempt by a veteran of this site. It doesn't do too badly, but it's not perfect. There will be much better systems available publicly as soon as I can get some traction in that area. Please, watch out for the Olé Olé Count (level 1) and another stronger one (higher level), which may surface later on (i hope).

    Cheers,
    Ole

    I use SMC for SP21, and hilo for BJ. It's simple as both are balanced, and I use the same betting ramp when jumping back and forth between games. I tried the Kat count at first, but disliked starting my betting ramp up in a negative count.

    Another option would be to drop the 7 to zero and make the Ace value -1.5 for a halves like balanced count. It's probably slightly better than the SMC from a playing efficiency standpoint.
