Re: UFC on Versus 2 odds

black jack is easy 2,3,4,5 subrtact -1 from the count 6,7,8 dont add anything .9 ,10, J,Q ,K A add +1 . When the count is over a certain number (cant remember the exact number) bet more, if not bet one unit.

Yeah, you see, that's the simple math. I can understand that.

But when you go deep with it and try to understand the theory, it just becomes gibberish. Exhibit A. . .

You dont need a complex counting system giving each card a number value to win at BJ . The simple count I gave you will work fine. I counted cards at Casino Windsor from the time I was 19-22. Its hard enough to keep the count of the simple system . Counting cards is very stressful . I quit doing it when I got into sports betting

^^ see now I don't know if you are messing with us. If Zak posted that, he would have purposely changed the Author to Peter Griffin in an obscure Family Guy reference... but since you posted, I am going to assume, that is the guy's name.



Damn it, I don't know who to trust anymore.

How did that work logistically? I mean, I thought the casinos watched for card counters and kicked them out.

I'm not saying you need anything. You obviously don't have to understand the math of gambling to be good and successful at gambling. It's like a computer. You don't have to understand the technical details of electronics, programming languages, etc. to use a computer, play games, get on the Internet etc.

Likewise, you can learn a counting system and beat blackjack. But there's a difference between that and really understanding the mathematical complexities of the game.

Not sure how Luke did it, but I know that most books that deal with the subject have some information on camouflaging. There's kind of a whole art to it.

It's also worth nothing that in Atlantic City, the casinos can't kick you out, but they do have other countermeasures that they can employ.

Re: UFC on Versus 2 odds

Svino, it is really hard to beat blackjack anymore because there are very few 1 and 2 deck games. And the casinos that do offer 1 and 2 deck don't penetrate deep enough into the deck... so they pretty much let you try to count at low stakes IME. They don't start paying attention until you are playing fairly high stakes. Because even if you can count, you still can't beat it most likely.

Also, like Luke mentioned, it is a hell of alot of work. It is much more work that just getting a job.

Not once in 3 years did anyone say a word to me. I always sit at the beginning of the table so my head wouldnt be rotating from left to right every hand .I practiced at home alot so it wouldnt be so obv and barely moved my eyes when I counted.

I think it had more to do with Casino Windsor being a small local casino than anything . The dealers there chatted with the players alot so I dont even think they were looking for counters. Plus I wasnt trying to win a million dollars . I'd go up there with a goal to win 500 dollars per trip

It is difficult to beat, but you don't have to have a single or doubledeck game to do it. In fact, the 6-deck is considered the "bread and butter" of the modern counter, and is certainly beatable. But it does take work and, in order to win significant money, a big bankroll because if you're only looking at a 1% or 2% advantage (as is standard) then it would obviously take relatively large average bets to really make some decent money.

what MMAscientist said .I wasnt playing stakes high enough to draw any attention

its also less time consuming and you can do it from your home. And IMO its easier to beat.
