    Doing 50% pen on a shoe game should be a waste of time, right?! I dont k ow just my gut feeling.

    In the states, I think it's very rare to see 50% pen. I think that's more an international thing to do.

    Also, I sent you a Facebook message regarding blackjack games in Croatia you never responded man.........

    I think I hide myself very well. Most dealers think I am harmless person just enjoying playing BJ and have a good time. But occasionally I will encounter dealers who suspect I am counting cards and he will set the next shoe at 50% penetration. To satisfy my curiosity, I stayed longer to see what action he took against other suspect AP. He did this when any player increases the spread. A new AP suspect emerges. Even I conclude the player placing big bet is not AP. The dealer cut the pen to 50%. Some dealers are just being careful. Better being wrong than sorry.

    Dalmatian hi.i will check again my fb i didn't see anything.

    I read about your corse and your difficulties that u had.i hope u find the way man !

    As long the 50% pen i don't have answer.my sims with 2.5 was lets say kind of okey.the real problem was the no was very high.

    As long for hiding ... here basic strategy only is red flag. With some black chips suddenly making the appearance not a lot of things can be hidden

    Even some days that the asm was jammed and they shuffle by hand I sting the game of the top but again I got heat.the general manager came to my table sit next to me and watching my game live.i reacted very friendly and with gambling spirit but I can feel their eyes when I place the bets

    The rounds that the manager was sitting next to me i was dealt for example 17 and 18 .dealer had 9.he asked me if I want card .that moment I was turning my head 90 degrees answering no card for me looking the manager with out seeing the cards at all and telling him that I have a feeling that dealer will bust.i was hearing the dealer saying 19 taking my bets collecting all the cards and only after I was looking again at the table infrond.of course I was -1 to my count but I didn't think that I purchased them for much

    50% pen is often done in U.S. jurisdictions where they cannot back you off for counting, such as MO and AC.

    I have an Excel calculator for calculating the score for any betting strategies and penetrations of any value. I can send it to the mail. What is the score- https://www.blackjackinfo.com/commun...s/score.16268/

    p.s. Any game with a DI less than 25 is hopeless.

    Think you mean 2.5.
    DI of 25 translates to a modest SCORE of 625.

    3/6 pen- you must put max bet if TC+3 and more.
    In this case, use the simplified formula I have invented - Spread/pen.

    1. For example- Spread 20, pen 3/6.
    20 (21) /3 = 7.
    So we put TC 1= 7 units, TC 2= 14 units, TC 3 =20 (21) units (Max bet).

    2. Spread 20, pen 4/6
    20/4= 5
    So we put TC 1= 5 units, TC 2= 10 units, TC 3= 15 units, TC 4= 20 units.

    This is to determine the optimal bets. CVCX will show you roughly the same when changing the penetration function.

    Well, CVCX will show you the correct values.
