ken the general rule that your total br must be min 100 times your max bet and the trip br must be 20 times your max bet finds you ok?
and one crusial question !!!!! if my TOTAL br reduces at 50% by the bad variance should I resize my betting or continue like I still have all the money?
Funny thing is most blackjack dealers are firm believers in the whole taking the bust card mentality. Even after multiple decades of working in the industry they swear by it and cite their extensive experience as proof. I tried explaining it to one dealer and he responded, “Well if everyone says it there must be something to it!” Of course, they are just victims of their own conformation bias. But it’s the illusion of control over the outcome that keeps most players coming back. The human mind trying to see a pattern and replicate it and get that rush of dopamine one more time. The game comes down to mathematics, probabilities, and playing perfect basic strat to minimize your losses over the long run (because you lose overall, there’s no escaping it). Advantage play is a whole other beast, and very situational. But it just amazes me how people continue to refuse to believe and defend passionately this philosophy that other players affect the outcome of the hand. High limit players who regularly are putting large sums of money also are firm believers in this. It’s just an interesting example of how the human mind is wired I guess.
l’m curious about the superstitious guy who has a huge bet on the table with a dealer 6 showing. I’m on 3rd base with my $5 chip out in front of me. If I have a 14 showing and hit then I’m screwing the table over by taking the dealers bust card? But what if I have an 11 showing? Isn’t my desire to double down and improve my hand going to screw the table over just the same? Somehow my playing or not playing by the rules makes it “ok” to take the dealers bust card? I never understood the logic.
Expected Win / Standard Deviation. Assumptions: $12 average bet, 50 hands per hour, 1.25% average advantage, using be $5 to $60.
Under these conditions I could take a trip to play 90 hours with only 1,175 dollars. In the worst of the hypotheses would lose only 1,175, with good chances of winning back. Is that so?
Casino Rules:
8 decks, H17 , DAS, Late Surrender , Peek , 70 % penetration.
Ho una strategia di base ok. Un paio di domande veloci - È sempre meglio giocare un solo punto? Devo sempre colpire il mio 12 contro la 2 up-card del dealer e la 3 up-card del dealer? Devo colpire sempre il mio 17 morbido? Quando colpisco il 18 morbido? Quando devo raddoppiare il mio 17 morbido contro il dealer?
I too find the white border glaring and gives me a headache. Needs to be toned down or different color softer on the eyes. Your trainer is the best out there that I have been using these past 30 years. I don’t count cards with these 6 deck shoes but have your charts memorized that help with the odds. It amazes me to see soo many players play by the seat of their pants having not a clue what they are doing.
Palace Station has many 6-5 tables now and the 3:2 tables are sometimes full. So I played their 6:5 game for the first time with the tie side bet (half of main bet, pays 10:1 on push). Unless my math is horrible, one should actually double on blackjack for some dealer up cards (if not all?). So using your math, with a dealer up card of 5, the $50 pay out on a tie 7% of the time would add $3.50 to the $6.82. If you take the 6:5 blackjack you only get $7 because you lose the tie side bet ($12-$5). Then the question becomes, Bet $15 to win $7 or double down to bet $25 to win $10.32 with a 5 up card? How does it work out for the other up cards? The tie side bet actually lowers the house edge on a regular 3:2 game but obviously you don’t double blackjack on 3:2 even with the side bet. But I’m curious if the tie side bet substantially lowers the house edge on a 6:5 game if you double some blackjacks?
hi i am A new player trying to make IT as A career. my base is located in macau & korea. i have A Q for you. does peek / none peek makes any difference? i understand that macau & korea is playing different style korea allow dealers to peek
Just to update the thread. Golden Nugget in the Rush Lounge had several $15 minimum 3:2 blackjack tables. Unfortunately almost every other blackjack game I have seen in Vegas is 6:5 🙁
Hi ken I’m playing in a casino where the rule are:
6 decks, h17, double any two cards, double after split, surrender allowed.
And: the casino have 2 jokers inside the 6 decks, and if in your hand, you have a joker, you win immediately, and the hand end.
I think with this I have pretty great advantage to my side, don’t you think.
Ho una domanda sulle scommesse. Sono ancora molto inesperto di blackjack in generale, ma sono interessato a utilizzare i metodi insegnati in questo corso per ottenere qualche vincita. Ho guardato dei video e uno che ricordo, di Howcast, spiega diversi metodi di scommessa. Un metodo utilizzato era quello progressivo, in cui si scommetteva $100 e si vinceva, poi si scommetteva $200, poi $300 e così via. Se si perde una scommessa, finché si ha una buona serie di vincite, si hanno ancora delle vincite. Solo che ogni volta che si perde si torna alla puntata minima. Ho messo in pratica questo metodo a casa mia, in modo un po' più conservativo. Scommetto $10, poi $15, poi $20, poi $30. Non raddoppio mai la mia scommessa, ma la aumento di circa 50-75% finché non perdo e poi torno a $10. Continuerò a farlo senza un massimo, anche se dovessi arrivare a puntare $1000 alla volta (non ci arrivo quasi mai), ma questo è ancora un segnale di allarme per i casinò? Non è come se passassi da una puntata di $10 a una di $500, semplicemente la aumento gradualmente mentre sono in una serie di vincite. E quando la mia striscia finisce e perdo una scommessa "importante", ne esco comunque vincente. Fatemi sapere se questa è una buona o cattiva idea da fare nei casinò reali e perché. Grazie.
If you play at a hand shuffled table the shuffle is not random! It is repetitive where card clumps occur. This is documented in studies by “first base blackjack.”
It occurs in two deck games and up. I have played games in Vegas when the dealer,s tell card or up card is 10 card 70 percent of a shoe. Don’t wait to be asked to leave just leave or your money will. The player at third base better play a strategy to win his hand. Third base is not there to save the table. Stastically, no one impacts the next cards except the schuffler. Casinos have the edge and continue to do so thru schuffle techniques and they are reliant on the player who refuses to leave. Remember, the dealer bust but still wins when the player bust because he takes your money and cards first. The dealer bust 28 percent of the time. Play in sessions of one hour or less. Less if you lose four hands in a row. Every dealer schuffles and deals per management guidelines. Go downtown and get away from the strip as it is easier to bump into a good game if you don’t recognize it on the strip. Dealers cheat players by not paying a player the correct amount. I had a dealer paid me $30 on a $10 bet with the 25 under the 5. Why, I have no clue! Ain’t it fascinating. Playing blackjack involves skills beyond card counting and basic strategy! Money management and being a keen observer is essential. Be likable and courteous, it may pay off, who knows. Good luck, and remember it always runs out but you can leave before it does. Time to leave!

Ken,

In un blackjack base, il triplo 7 suited viene pagato 3xs?
È importante la posizione in cui ci si trova al tavolo del torneo? Mi piace il posto uno o il posto sette?
Ho una strategia di base ok. Un paio di domande veloci - È sempre meglio giocare un solo punto? Devo sempre colpire il mio 12 contro la 2 up-card del dealer e la 3 up-card del dealer? Devo colpire sempre il mio 17 morbido? Quando colpisco il 18 morbido? Quando devo raddoppiare il mio 17 morbido contro il dealer?
the trainer incorrectly tells me to surrender on 14 vs 10.
