Hi!
Well, this is the situation.
I play blackjack at local casino, these are the rules:
-dealer stands on S17
-insurance pays 2:1
-no surrender
-three 7s pays 2:1
-6 cards under 21 pays 2:1
-when player gets blackjack with king and the ace in the same color, he gets 200 units bonus
-6 decks
-about 1 1/2 deck penetration
-no hole card
-spreads are 1-20
-you can resplit 4 times
-same value cards splitting allowed
-double after split allowed
-I play 20 units min table
I started to play for fun, but i was counting with standard Hi/Lo strategy (2,3,4,5,6 +1, T,A -1, 7,8,9 neutral, no ace side count) with 1-4 spread and I was successful, about 2500 units good with only 200 units starting bank in about 20 hours of playing, when I have raised my spread and inital bet to 40 units (from 20), I lost almost everything LOL:laugh:
OK, I've learned that I have to be more self-disciplined...
My question here is, which strategy should I learn? Hi Opt I with ace side count? Here at my place, almost in every casino the rules are similar.. What is the edge, are the rules at my side? I believe they are.. I don't have any bankroll, and hardly could collect some in short period of time, but in about 6 months I could build up something like 10 000 units (but not from blackjack, of course).. What are the odds to double it up? I would really like to become a pro blackjack player, but the problem is my bankroll.. It would be a problem to loose 10 000 units, but that is the risk I'm willing to take to double it down, or at least to take out 15 000, and then offcourse continue playing.
Sorry for big post, and thanks in advance for your answers!
