Analysis of Lucky Ladies

[Eliot Jacobson]

ZG -- it is a balanced count

----------------------------------
For DD...

A-9 (there are 72 of these cards) x +1 = +72
T-K (except QH, there are 30 of these cards) x -2 = -60
First QH = -10
Second QH = -2

(+72) + (-60) + (-10) + (-2) = 0.


---------------------------------
For 6D, use this BALANCED count:

A-9 = +1
T-K = -2
QH = -6
---------------------------------

Could you use this count for making your regular bets i.e. not lucky ladies? If this is only good for LLs then it would be better to use a regular count which isn't as effective with LL right?

If this is only good for LLs then it would be better to use a regular count which isn't as effective with LL right?

In some cases the LL bet is more profitable than the blackjack hands. For that reason some players prefer to use a LL-optimized strategy instead of the traditional card counting systems. Other players just like to suppliment their BJ EV with the side bet so they stick with their regular counting system. The choice is yours.

In a good (deep pene) LL game you cood use the Jacobson LL count - without the Qh values as an unbalanced 10-count/point system for primary playing and betting and just mentally adjust for Qh definciency. zg

(Though I wouldn't personally do it.)

Does the TC at +10 work for 6-8 decks as well? And if so, the bet should always be the max?

Is 25 the most you should wager because of table max payouts or can you bet more in high counts.

Most casinos will not accept larger than a 25 bet. zg

What are the payoffs? This could be big for you. zg

 

[zengrifter]

Duke, what is your advantage and count when you place your 300-max bet? zg

 

[dukejava1]

lucky ladies

Zen,at a true count of 12 I would hit the table limit 300 ,and I would be at a 5.5% adv using hi/low.

What are the LL payoffs, there? Also, what is your BR size?


Look what Panama Rick's sim says, at +8 your LL advantage is 7% -

Based on your small 7k BR, don't go more than $50 except in monster counts above +10.
As you can see, your LL edge is rising at over 4% per +1 over +7. zg

Thank for the info Zen.

 

[zengrifter]

Thank for the info Zen.

Ps - Untill the BR is at 12,000, keep your LL max bet at $50-75. zg

 

[BlackChipBlackJack]

i didnt understand the thing too well, so if im playing 8-deck using KO when would i take the bet?

yea anyone know a good count using KO in 8 deck to bet LL?

 

[21forme]

It's deck dependent, so convert it to a true count and bet at TC > +7.

 

[zengrifter]

He needs KO LL-Strike RC for various deck levels. zg

 

[SystemsTrader]
