Hands played: 4,489 Profit: + 2,315 Sorry about all the posts. I would have only posted one time and just played more hands but I was getting beaten so bad I thought I might run out of chips if I go through another down swing when a hot deck comes.
Edit: I made a mistake. Somehow the number of hands I played decreased and I forgot how many I played so i’m just going to add 100. Hands played: 4,842 Profit: 2,315
I have read in another book on blackjack counting about counting the low cards then divide by the number of players have knot tried this way as of yet. I am doing real good just using your blackjack strategy. how about the low card system above. any one has it been try-out
My question is , when playing against 6 decks, with late surrender offered, dealer must stand on soft 17, what is your surrender strategy, including a pair of 8s
Hopefully Tum can have the new developers take a look. In the meantime, have you tried another browser? This sounds like a memory allocation issue, and another browser may behave differently.
Hands played: 6,851 Profit: +2,302.5 My hands played is off by no more than 100 so I probably have about 100 less hands played than I should have, probably less. Also, my profit is probably +50 than what it is right now. It’s a long story.
I am nobody in the gambling the world and seen as a fool but under new supervision I have decided to put more research and depth into blackjack. Now I have so much negative experience putting my money on the tables and watching it exchanged for plastic cheques. Seeing my pile grow from its existing and watching it dwindle upon consecutive losses. What I do have to offer is some data and thoughts to think about for anyone who choses to read my comment. If this program is as similar as it is in the real casino could it actually be possible to win lots of money??? I am always under the suspicion that casinos can cheat and basically get away with it. I am not saying they do and if they were the only culprit is the computers running that shuffle the cards in such an order that does not always seem so random due to the natural variance in the game. I for a lot of time was against basic strategy but at same time maybe I did not know it well enough to be able to say such crazy things.
I played 151 hands on this simulator. profit +6100. now I won 66hands and lost 75. so win% was 44. the natural odds of this game with perfect basic strategy is .5 basically in favor of the house. now ask yourself how did I make so much money??? did I count and bet accordingly? I actually did nothing of any sort. I did something a lot more interesting. I some what of what bet progressively upon wins and losses but only went up in increments of 25. I played perfect basic strategy. when I won a couple of hands I increased my bet 25. when I lost say 4 in a row I increased my bet 25 until getting back up to what I was down etc. then when I felt it was smart to just drop down to base I did so basically. I did this over and over again regardless of win or loss streak. if your playing a game with natural set odds this may be a way to just overcome it because you get the bonus of double downs and blackjacks. you as well get the security when you surrender. this way of playing blackjack can really only be played at card rooms and even then the need to offer 3/2 on bj because at indian casinos you do not get that surrender value
I absolutely agree but at the same time you are not looking at the overall negative play on the game itself and how to use it to your advantage. it has nothing to do with card counting actually. like right now I am trying this test again. I have won 7 hands out of 27. I am of course down money and 100 actually. I am as well at the 150 mark of betting. how long theoretically would it take to be back up? I am playing on a 6 deck shoe and I am just about 50% in
Each of your bets have a -0.50% expected value. Therefore you’re going to lose 0.50% of the total amount you wagered over the long run. Regardless of how you wager it.
49 hands played. won 25 lost 20. I lost majority of my bigger bets and I lost most of the double downs. I as well only went to max bet 225. but in 1 shoe still had a profit of over 1012.5. heres why this data is garbage and its because I won more hands then I lost. what the most important is losing more hands then winning but in set period of time before even raising. I as well had a few blackjacks and the dealer had some blackjacks. blackjacks are theoretically 1/21 hands
You played 49 hands. Like you said “this data is garbage…” a sample size so small is virtually useless in determining anything. I don’t even know why you posted after only playing 49 hands.
Why not double my 11 against an ace that the dealer has proved is not a blackjack?
Please post this question on the Forum message board. Thank you.

Progressive betting systems don’t work. If you play long enough you will lose.

I can guarantee you that if you keep playing you’re going to lose. It becomes literally impossible for you to win if you play enough hands because of the law of large numbers. Which is this http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/law-of-large-numbers
