but then he would argue it's not a full deck then, like what they use in casinos. he would have to see it work exactly how i would do it in casino conditions. it's infuriating how much it takes to convince someone of something :flame:The Chaperone said:Get a deck of cards. Take out half of the 2-6s and add 8 tens and 2 aces. Learn the indices for TC +20. Then have him deal to you till he's convinced. Maybe bet him a dollar a hand.

You can't convince him because he doesn't want to be convinced. His mind is already made up.Daggers said:How do i explain how card counting will actually work in the long run? my dad doesn't think it will work and i don't know how to convince him. i know myself it'll work because i've tried it many times and talked to people that have.

It's pretty simple to explain. Whether or not someone believes you is a different story.Daggers said:How do i explain how card counting will actually work in the long run?
EXACTLY. And the casino only uses a full deck for the first hand, where you get no advantage.Daggers said:but then he would argue it's not a full deck then, like what they use in casinos.

Was this on your recent AC trip where you lost 100 units? At least the weather was nice :laugh: I've had trouble with that Lucky Ladies bet even recently when the count has warranted it. +18 though? Ouch.Gamblor said:I just had a +18 TC and lost! Including the Lucky Lady side bet! I want my money back!

Get out two decks of cards: one being a regular deck and the other being a pinochle deck. From the regular deck, remove all the Kings and Aces. Leave the pinochle deck as is.Daggers said:How do i explain how card counting will actually work in the long run? my dad doesn't think it will work and i don't know how to convince him. i know myself it'll work because i've tried it many times and talked to people that have.
