Sometime I get my girlfriend to help me count cards. She counts the High's, I count the lows, and every hand she tell me how many appeared and I just minus the total.
I only to this when tables are particulary crowded then it doesn't look as suspicious when she says something into my ear, Maybe she just wannts to ask me to get her a drink
(which she usaully does anyways)

Sure
I have used various team methods. A female companion can be very helpful in many ways. They can keep a separate insurance side count, or a side count for a particular side bet you want to beat, or jump in and play an extra hand when the count is positive, or play an extra hand when the count is negative (to eat cards with minimum bets since a single player has to play 2 x minimum on two hands), or to play at the next table so the two of you can share hot shoes, or to get bored and "complain" during a negative shoe to give you a reason to Wong out, or to play at another table across the pit and distract the bosses, etc. Even if she doesn’t know how to count cards she can be a valuable asset to you.
The list goes on and on, and that is only with two people. Imagine how much damage you could do with several players on a team!

Both partners at the same table...
... are NOT optimal. Its SIGNIFICANTLY better for both partners to count and play at SEPERATE TABLES. zg

When I'm wasting time trying to find a positive shoe, I've often wished that I had some help. My wife won't even go to casinos with me anymore, and she refuses to learn to count. Last time we played together, she won just as much money as I did playing basic strategy and flat betting.

I use the dealer as my partner a lot of times, if you tip her good when you win she will give subtle hints like i might say do you think i will "hit" a lucky streak soon? and she might say if you "stay" long enough maybe. just get creative and keep giving her good tips and she usually does the same

like talking in double entendre (sp?) ? the point is that if she peeks at her hole card to see if she has the natural she will give you a hint as to whether you should hit or not if you're cool about itzengrifter said:
You wouldn't need to be concerned about hitting or not if she has a natural. Anyway, what you're describing is collusion, that is to say: A secret agreement between two or more parties for a fraudulent, illegal, or deceitful purpose.yellowjacket said:
I want to know where these dealers are who will risk their jobs and their freedom letting me know how to play my blackjack hand. I would tip very very good to the dealer who peeks at their hole card and then hints me on how to play my hand. I always miss out on really amazingly good things like this.
:sad:
PS - Any hint of jaded disbelief that may be leaking through any of the sentences above and any suspicion I may have regarding the dealer just giving her standard advice (which is usually worthless as the majority of the time any dealer advice is inaccurate) is merely in my own mind and should not be interpreted as being factual.

I can't remember the last time I saw a game where the dealers peek at their hole card. Nowadays they either have the electronic "Maxtime" reader or the mirror-peek devices, neither of which shows the value of the hole card.yellowjacket said:
Even so, Gregory is exactly right. That sort of behavior is cheating and is illegal. It would be a shame to spend all this time learning how to beat the game legally just to end up in jail from a mistake like that.:cry: :whip:
