DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!!

[Card Counter]

I just returned from Las Vegas and I have come to the conclusion that blackjack is no longer a beatable game there. It was possible say 30 years ago, but today, no. The games in LV are just too crappy and a complete waste of time. I headed to the downtown area where they still have single deck, H17 and DOA. The player is at about -.19%. In two days I got barred from 3 casinos (El Cortez, Las Vegas Club, Four Queens) and ended up losing about $200 overall. With most of the casinos, the number of decks and rules make the game unplayable. The ones that have an OK number of decks and rules (such as downtown), the cut card is placed too far up from the end to be a beatable game. In summary, DON'T PLAY BLACKJACK! DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME! If this post keeps just one person out there from playing blackjack I will have considered it a success. God bless everyone! Take revenge on the casinos! DON'T PLAY!

Sorry, but I disagree. There are still 'beatable" games in Las Vegas only you have to spend more time finding them. Don't go the single deck game route - nowadays, your best bet is the shoe game.

Royal Match house advantage is wrong.

But what if in the first hand, every K and Q in the deck was dealt out, leaving a deck with 44 cards devoid of royalty? In this case you will win $1320 for every $1892 bet, for a house edge of 30.2%.

WRONG!

The Royal Match returns (11C2/44C2)*4*4 = 93.02%
For a house advantage of 6.98%!

Some of us are "trolls", but others of us are incapable of doing math.

Re: Royal Match house advantage is wrong.

Why would you bet Royal Match in the first place? Second why do you consistantly post here about your ficticious voodoo trips to Las Vegas. I am here now and I beat El Cortez and a few of the other Downtown single deck games you complain about. It may not be a fortune but I won. You always brag about your knowledge of the mathamatics of the game yet you always lose! Trolls will be trolls. Please dont respond to this message in fact just stay away!

Firstly Mr.Jacobson may I congratulate you on a new and refreshing board.I really believe the above poster not to be a troll but has some insight from a visitor on just a short trip. You may remember the rantings of Doug Grant some years ago in much the same vein, so many of his views have now come to be reality and many have now to eat their own words.Henry Tambourin whilst being a gentleman published a book recommending stop losses, take the money and run, if only it was that easy! Unlike Mr.LV Pro at least HT has made a career from advantage play.The input of the latter is to be encouraged.All the best. Tito.

Thanks for your honest assessment.

I am a fan of HT and always welcome his posts here.

I am happy to have those post here who state opinions based on their experience in counting. However, generalizations from limited experience that lead one to make statements that are simply false often come off as arrogant and ill mannered.
