Pretty much impossible to count cards now a days with all 6 decks and auto shuffle. Sometimes if you tip the dealer right he will burn through 3/4 of the cards and give you a shot but its not typical.

Now betting on sports is a different deal, :win: If I can just get these celtics to pull out this win -2 ill be good

Nothing at the casino is easy money, why the fukk would the casino even have these games

Blackjack has the lowest house edge

it can be easy money if you're efficient and can leave emotions at the door :yeshrug:

last time i went, an asian fella came to the table with 100 dollars. he put 100 down and won the hand. put 200 down and won the hand. put 400 down and won the hand. put 800 down and won. then he took his 1600 hundred and left.

i mean it takes a bit of luck, obviously. but dudes be winning 10 hands in a row with 5-10 bucks on the table. if you've go the strength to let it ride continuously, you come up fast and easy. although it's just as easy to lose that money.

Continuous Automatic Shuffler is a no play in my book.....house gets a bigger edge and they get u to play more hands per hour

Automatic shuffler is alright in my book but not continuous shuffling

theres different counting methods (+1, -1......wong halves and other multi-tiered counts)

deck pen gotta be at least 75% or I aint playin for serious money.......One place I play has good rules but shytty pen, another has ehhh rules but great pen but it eight decks:shaq2:

when i won 16k, the dealer was light weight helping me. mainly cus i kept putting 25-50 dollars on the dealer bet. dude would basically be like "you don't want to hit that :mjpls:" or "you gotta hit that :birdman:"

i didn't see that dealer again after that night, i think they fired him. :woww:

over the long haul you win 44%, lose 48%, and tie 8%.........dude got extremely lucky cause ive fukked around and done that but at 800 lost and thought to myself why didnt I stop at 400:sadcam:

From my experience, asians play alot on superstition and act very reckless, they might win big but they can also go home really fast

What does this mean

Playing Basic Strat, the house still has a .5% edge (edge may vary slightly but this is what you find with most bj games offered)

Having positive counts is when the edge is in your favor and u usually increase your bet based on your edge

It all comes down to your bankroll being large enough to absorb losses.

I think I've posted it before, but my blackjack strategy is to play BS, and never bet more than my
bankroll/50.

Play disciplined and you'll be okay...chase fast money and you'll lose a lot more.

Can't wait for that MGM Casino to open up on the East Coast :sadcam:
