Where can I find Blackjack game conditions outside of United States?

It is important to understand what your "overhead" is if you are thinking of playing BJ far far from home.

Fees vary, but you will need to pay to convert your cash into local currency and back into dollars.

You can expect to pay exorbitant aggregate fees as high as 4% or 5% in various countries.

In London I met an (AP) investment banker who offered to convert currency for 1% each way, as a personal favor.

Estimate your win rate, and then factor in the exorbitant currency exchange fees, the European "No Hole Card" rules and generally poor penetration (of 65% - 70% most typically); and you should conclude that Card Counting is a generally poor idea, although there are methods for exploiting these games. Interested parties may contact me regarding this cryptic statement.

Note: In many countries dealers are sloppy and careless ... making for Carnival Games ripe for exploitation.

Note: In many countries table maximum bets can be uncomfortably low.

Note: Being an American will put surveillance on "High alert" - if you are not one among many tourists.

Note: Korean Casinos do not want your business. They will tolerate you if you lose a lot, especially if you are drunk.

So from this, I'm getting:

1. Get a Nauruan/Venezuelan passport or marry a foreigner.
2. Travel on junkets or during peak season.
3. Korea is that bad? BJInfo suggested it offered a pretty good work environment.
4. [Redacted]

Anything critical I missed?

Also for those who network extensively it strikes me that APs hitting each other's countries both benefit from converting at zero commission.

*Some* games in Australia are beatable. Last time I looked, Crown still offer S17, double 9, 10 and 11, DAS ,with at least 75% pen with 8 deck shoes, in the high roller rooms. But be very careful about heat - I would recommend strict flat bet aggressive Wonging. If you are an islander, asian or black that wood be good cover. The arsehole racists at Crown, just might turn a blind eye. Then again, you might end up in the Yarra - be very, very careful.

Koz84 would probably know better than me.

Hope that helps,
Brett.
