Hello....Many years ago I studied and did well playing the canfied system
but have not played since..about twenty years.. I decided to come back to
it in my life and picked up the Professional Blackjack by Stanford Wong...
I read the book and I belive I am going to need to play six deck and he says
my expectation is only 16.00 for a 25.00 to 100.00 spread..is this really
true and how can anyone make any money at that level..Also if I do go to LV
what are my chances of playing higher limits and single deck and not getting barred
...Please send me your coments I would greatly appriciate them..Thanks, Rick

For Play-All 6D with a $25-$100 spread, the EV per 100 hands is $16.50 with good rules and pen (H17, DAS, LSR, 5/6). However, you need close to $20 K just to get to a 13.5% ROR. This is why nobody in their right mind would try to use a 1-4 spread Play-All at 6D.

You could Wong (EV increases to $150), or at a minimum, you could increase your spread to more like 20-1 (EV increases to $105). A 1-4 spread play-all is insufficient for more than SD.

Note that these figures are for Hi-Lo, but the relative amounts should hold true.

1-20 may still be too little try 1-30 or even 40. Play in crowded conditions or at least with ravenous ploppies who are betting heavy so you can jump up to the max with little notice. If you play like this hit the bigger joints where you see such action. I was on the strip and watched big bettors on red tables betting black all the while I bet red. when the TC went insane I was betting four to five green and much to my paranoid state I won without being noticed. I split several times and doubled along with it I had a lot at stake and the croupy busted.
