Best place to start?

[AudiTT]

I'm an experienced (3yrs) on-line advantage player in the UK, playing blackjack and video-poker exclusively.

I am, however, a complete novice when it comes to counting at B&M casinos. Can anyone recommend suitable literature (and an 'easier' counting system) for a novice?

My local B&M casino offers 6 deck, D9,10,11 only, DAS, dealer stands S17 only.

Thanks in advance.

These are pretty bad rules for 6 deck games. Unless you're getting 90% or better penetration it is probably not a playable game unless you can use a monster spread like 50 to 1. The first rule of card counting is to only play beatable games. I would not play this game.

Sounds like the UK to me...... These are the only games available here.

Tiz beatable with 1-12, recoment illustrious 18 (or the bits that apply!) to get edge up though.

There is an excellent BJ counting course (free!) on www.gamemasteronline.com

Thanks guys.

Yep, UK it is. Casino culture over here is in it's infancy IMO. I think things will improve eventually.

I'm relocating to Sydney, Aus, for a year with work in Sep 04, so hope to no longer be a novice counter by then.

Thanks again.
