Hey everyone I am just wondering if anyone has some kind of "math test" that can help a counter speed up the true count conversion. I find I become really slow at it when it's something like an RC of 8.5 (using wong halves) and there's something like 1.5 decks remaining. I need to get better at...

Hey all, I am in need of a couple bet spreads for back counting these 2 games. BTW they are both very similar, one has no hole card and one does. I have a 5k bankroll using Wong Halves. Game 1: 6 decks Late Surrender H17 Blackjack 3:2 Insurance 2 to 1 DAS DA2 No resplit of aces...

Ok so back in the day I've always wanted to try and be the ultimate poker player... lawlz. But anywho I sort of gave up that dream, and today I randomly was watching it at work on tv and thought to myself... I should get back in the game. So my questions are what are some good books to read up...

Ok so pretty soon I'll finally be back in the game. With a $50 max bet, whats a good trip roll to bring with me? $1000? I was thinking 1k but I'm not too sure if it's quite the right amount.

Ok so let's say we're talking 15 vs a 10 in a LS game. In my book in the surrender section it says 0 for surrender. Does this mean surrender at count of 0 and higher, or DO NOT surrender at counts of 0 and lower? I know it's probably a marginal play, but every bit counts. My main focus is right...

What are the best hands that you can remember? This one will always stick out in my head. It was true 6 or so and I had my max bet out on 2 hands, and the dealer showed an ace. I took insurance. My first hand was hard 10, so I doubled and got an ace. 21, not bad at all haha. My 2nd hand was a...

Ok so the majority of the games found in my city are ES10, but NO surrender ace. This is mostly due to NO HOLE CARD. But, there is an indian reservation casino that was built by some Las Vegas casino designer and they offer LS and have a hole card. So what are my odds better with in the long...

Which program would I be better off purchasing? I'm a complete noob to bj software. :grin:

I know I've posted this game before but only 1 person ran the sim and the spread seemed sort of large for my bankroll. The table min will be $5. Rules: 6 decks H17 ES vs tens, NO SURRENDER VS ACE (no hole card) No RSA One card per split ace DA2 DAS Dealer only takes ORIGINAL bet if they get BJ...

Ok guys as a dealer somehow I feel obligated to tip every time I win, as long as it's over $100 or so. But I know tipping bits of your BR can increase RoR. How much (if at all) do you guys tip (depending on how much you win)?

Ok so I'm pretty sure all this happened last saturday, the 22 of May. 1. The casino in which I mostly play at (4 deck game) took a man for over $40k. He leaves, comes back later with another man and a gun. Fires about 2 times inside the casino into the air, and one more time outside... Not...

FOR THE RECORD this blackjack game isn't a real life game, it's found in a new video game called Red Dead Redemption. After playing around in it I've found the house rules are as follows: 1 deck, shuffle after every hand, S17 (dealer stands on soft 17), DAS, No Surrender, Peek for...

Ok so there's a casino that's very close to where I live, about 0.5 km away. That's a lot more convenient for me and my car's fuel but they use 6 decks and it's the whole ES vs Ten, but NO surrender vs ACE scenario (no hole card). But the pen is a beauty (cut off 1 deck or less sometimes). Just...

Ok so I know that the 2 hands should total 150% of what I'd be betting on one hand to keep my RoR the same, but some of my bets make for weird math, or weird sized bets. For example, my true 4 bet is $50, 150% of that is $75 but I can't bet $37.50 on 2 spots. Any suggestions? Here's my 4 deck...

Ok I know I should avoid games like these but I enjoy playing it on occasion, me and the gf gamble like once a month. I'm just wondering the best way to play odds-wise? It has a Trips side bet (pays with trips or better) which is optional, and 2 forced bets (ante and blind, blind pays with...

Ok well I'm not gonna say I "disagree" with this indice, but I use Wong Halves and in Professional Blackjack it says 77 vs 8 is a split at true 2 and above. Now I Can agree with it to a point, since doubling is allowed after splitting, and maybe I can catch some aces on my 7's. But at the same...

When you guys are determining how much profit you made or any losses do you usually do so in terms of units or dollars? Is either better than the other really, or does it make much of a difference which one you follow?

This was a crazy session. A high roller buddy of mine who also counts (I use wong halves and he uses opt II) has recently started letting me play FOR and WITH him with HIS money. His bankroll exceeds 50K i believe. We only play at the low limit tables, pretty crappy for his BR but it goes 5-100...

Ok so there is a 6 deck game that has a lucky ladies side bet, the max payout is $25,000. I know that for HiLo this side game is beatable at true 7 and up but does anyone know the numbers for Wong Halves?

Ok so as some of you may know (due to some previous posts of mine) i've been on a disgusting losing streak and decided i needed to take a break from the game and build a 1000 unit BR, 1 unit being $5. I must have posted this exact game 2 times so far but now that I have time to practice up I...
