I’m sure he was probably a complete idiot, but your description above sounds EXACTLY like a front loading team. The partner would catch the hole card and signal to him how to bet/play. He wouldn’t need to think about his hands at all. He would be making crazy plays and winning very quickly. I seriously doubt that was the case, but I thought it would be interesting to point out.NDN21 said:
Ah, the perfect exit! The partner for playing, the girl for cover and the money to show for it. :cool2:NDN21 said:

I was playing at Soaring Eagle last night....bought in with $50 and starting playing 5s. Once I got close to a 100 I started playing 2 and 3 units with an occasional 4 unit bet. After a while I had 2 blacks in my pocket (my rule is that once it goes in my pocket it's gone for the session). I rarely had a blackjack.....the dealer even was joking about it......but I was doing very well with 12-16 hands, hitting many 20s and 21s.
I built up to 150+ in reds and should have colored up another black but didn't. An unusual highlight was that our young woman dealer took a break and was replaced by a young man. They use automatic shuffling machines there. I lost TWELVE straight hands! No pushes, just losses. after 3 or 4 I dropped back to one unit trying to ride it out. I dropped down over a 100 during his stint. When she returned I quickly won it back and got back to about $300 up. I should have quit but the dealer was fun and the table was having a good time.
The stake in my heart was when I had 10 vs her 7 with a $20 bet. I doubled and hit a 10 to 20. she took 2 cards to 21.....an $80 swing for me.
After I lost the rest of my reds I left with 2 blacks.....disappointing but still a $150 win. Woulda shoulda coulda but still a win with a good time. It was a business meeting for me so my expenses and room were covered.
Also thanks to this board. I learned something new here. The woman next to me had an 11 against the dealer 7 and only doubled 5 of her 10 bet. I asked to take the other 5. She hit a 10 and I won. I'd never seen it before either.

It's not strictly blackjack I suppose, but I loaded $50 onto World Poker Exchange, and lost it. I loaded another $50 on, and cashed out $6,500 a few weeks later.

Your posted replies are both sooooo Sad and Pathetic! How can you be judgemental on somebodys work when you admitted that you haven't even read the website nor seen the second phase of the system? I bet SystemTrader's clueless observation was precisely his own sleazy and empty modus operandi of observation when confronted with a system that makes
sense. Are you guys just jealous? inspite of being "experts" you have nothing to show but just being internet blabermouths? Come on, "Get out of your unenlightened boxes! How can you tell something from nothing when both of you are ignoramuses of the strategies? You guys are nothing but bogus laughable and contemptuous dimwit "experts" who are quick to render and claim expertise from something you have no iota of a clue. Just for your information I bought the system and found it viable and working. I pity you guys a bunch of boxed confused masters of glib. I am not surprise
to find both of you doing the same hopelessly bewildered, unaware and ignorant "opinions" in the same website forum 5-10 years from now. "Experts"? What a shame! If you don't know anything about something and can't afford to have it or find it out, then just shut up!

Then perhaps you could enlighten us. How does the system work? How does it recognize favorable situations? What are the results of the computer simulations? What is the EV, SD, N0 and SCORE? Where is the proof that turns this system's theory into a law? And why was it only tested for "45,000 decisions" when millions more are required for accurate results? In fact, the "tables" he shows only give us 400 and 600 hour sessions which are completely meaningless. Much of the sales pitch contradicts itself, and he recommends a bet spread of $5-$680 to make the system successful. And doesn't is seem strange that the seller always uses words like "rationale", "preponderance" and "staying power" instead of actual proof? He also makes no mention of the variance associated with this system and gives no indication of the bankroll required to preserve a reasonable ROR. You have to understand why we are skeptical.lindablair said:
With all due respect, "viable" and "working" are not proof of anything. You may want to read this article before buying any more systems:

You would be wise to listen to what they have to say. You label yourself as a winning player, but if you continue playing systems I assure you that you wont be for long.lindablair said:
Like other system players you won't listen to me, but then again I don't care. I could take the time and look at the system and mathematically tell you why it doesn't work, but that is too much work to do since I know you wouldn't listen. The only way you will find out your error is to lose all your money. I hope it doesn't cost you too much to figure it out!

Hi, just registered with this site but have been visiting here for about a year. I'm not a counter but do use BS. Would like to share an experience that happened in May of 2006. Friends and I went to the Hilton in AC and after about an hour and a half I was plus 9K. I put 6K in my pocket and took another shot. At a $25
table, the max bet is 3K. I started out betting 1K and won sthe first three hands and jumped the bet up eventually to the max. Had two hands where I split 8's three accross and doubled down on each, two hands +36K. Won sixteen hands in a row, been playing over thirty years and never had or seen anything like that. Walked away with over 80K. The PB and a team were all over me because of my two friends standing behind me. Before we left, had to take a jab at them and said, "You guys make me laugh, were so old we can't even remember where we live, let alone count cards."

put $300 down on a $50 2 deck in vegas and ran it to $1450 in 2 shuffles...by myself of course :laugh:
I do not recall counting anything but 10 valued cards on that one, i was drinking and it was 4am so i was basically a ploppy.....funny, thats a lot better than my actual counting sessions go...seems to be the norm amoungst counters, the ploppy betting sloppy wins big :sad:
