Well, when you say things like “oh wait, oooooh, now i get it” halfway through your post it kinda gives that impression. It almost seems like you would have figured it out if you thought about it a little more before responding.

this makes me sound stupid, but sometimes i concentrate more on what im going to type instead of thinking about what the answer to the question could be.. the reason i typed that in the middle and still posted is because i took a long time thinking/wording that, so i wasnt just going to delete it all.. is there some problem with asking a question without sitting there for 15 minutes thinking, "hmm, am i SURE i dont know the answer to this"? i sure as hell would be much further down the list than the people who come on here asking google questions like, "how do you count cards", "what is a true count", "can somebody explain how to play blackjack to me", etc, and i dont see you or anybody else insulting them.. and yes, some of the things you say border on constructive criticism and insults, not to say that i havent also said insulting things to others, but i have become much better at saying things nicely.. i sometimes get the vibe your trying to insult me without flat out doing it.. i really enjoy reading the good posts from you and the other execs, so lets keep it that way

I think you have too so don't get too paranoid

And if u ever think I/anyone made a good post, one that you enjoyed for some reason, although I don't consider myself an exec around here lol, or a post that helped you in maybe even the smallest way, feel free to let me/them know.

now if you dont bet the same, then multiple hands is better right? for instance, $50 at one hand, or $75 at each of 2 hands or something like that.. see, thats what i was thinking about above, which is why i was so confused.. so is it ok to "eat the cards" as long as you are getting the same amount of money out per round, meaning that $50 in 5 hands is the same as $25 in 10 hands, both = $250 played.. your variance will go down, but your betting will be more volatile/less accurate since the count will change more during a round, and obviously you cant change your bet in the middle of the round, whereas if you play 1 hand, the count isnt going to change as much round to round.. is this correct?

as long as your not putting more money out on the table, multiple hands is always better, it reduces variance..

Not always better, depends entirely on the #other players. zg

$200 into 2 hands the same as $150 into 1 hand? i dunno about that, that sounds like 2 hands reduces the variance by a lot, which from what others have said on here, it doesnt sound like it reduces it that much.. i dunno tho, but id rather bet the 1 hand @ $150

2x100 is more money on the table yet the same risk as only 150 x1.

Elementary first year theory there, Silent One. zg

These old threads should give you a little background on card eating and bet sizing for multiple hands.

Eating Cards in Bad Count

Playing two hands, Sonny, ZG, et al. help!!

One big bet vs two hands

Bet sizing with 2 hands?

There may be some more old threads so a search would be worthwhile. Also, Blackjack Attack also covers these topics very well.
