Not getting any positive counts

[Cat_in_awe]

I did my first 'real' card counting on a trip to Biloxi last weekend. My observation was that it was extremely hard to get a large positive count to bet into. Is this a common situation, playing deck after deck and never getting a count high enough to make a large bet? Or was I just unlucky?

I was mostly playing 2-deck pitch games, but I also counted a few 6-deck shoes. Pen on the 2-deck was 60-65% and the 6-decks were cutting off 1-1/3 decks.

The 2D games should produce...

... a sufficiently positive count to place maxBets about 20+% of the shuffles... I think. Anyone? zg

what kind of count were you waiting for

You should have your max bet out there at +4 HiLo for most of todays games, For a double deck game that's a running count of +6 with 1/2 deck gone or a running count of only +3 going into the final round if the cuts are good.
