Blackjack Capitalized

“White Russian” is also sometimes capitalized. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, “White Russian” is the name of a language and a group of people in the region that used to be Russia. However, I couldn't figure out why “White Russian” and “Bloody Mary” are sometimes capitalized, but “daiquiri” and “manhattan” aren’t. The Game Show Network (GSN) tried to capitalize on the public’s fascination with gambling and poker by putting together a game show called the World Series of Blackjack. It was a cool show, and if you’re a blackjack fan, you probably got a kick out of seeing some of the more notorious figures in the game get their ten minutes of fame.

Blackjack School – A Free 24-Lesson Class on Card Counting Last Updated: February 18, 2020 Welcome to the GameMaster Blackjack Schoolby the, reprinted with permission. A brief introductionI am very pleased and proud to announce the complete revision of The GameMaster’s Blackjack School. For those who aren’t familiar with my “school”, this is a series of 24 written lessons that can teach you how to play a winning game of Blackjack. Herewe have gathered together the entire curriculum, expanded and refined the lessons and added additional resources.When the state of Missouri legalized casino gaming in 1994, I developed a course of instruction that would show people how to get an edge over the casino Blackjack games. Hey so I love this blackjack school. One complaint I have about it is that if I want to review a specific lesson, I have to cycle through each lesson and keep clicking next. It’s honestly a bit of a pain.

Maybe because I am viewing your website through an iPhone. But unless you already have it and I just overlooked it, I’d find it so much easier if there was a table of contents with direct links to each page so I wouldn’t have to cycle through each one. The material is great on here and I am using Read more ». Man, dont know about this system I mean it doesn’t seem to work as you are saying I’ve played many hours in 6decks shoe online live casino (you see the shoe and the dealer), totally of 70.000 euros in bets, I’m playing only at TC 1 and i am losing atm 3000euro Many times I went losing streaks of 10-15 continuing bets, i did some 2wins 20loses and 3wins 30loses, while i have never won more than 7 continuing times and usually not more than 3-4 times in a row (while losing 7-10 times in a row happens very Read more ». It could be a lot of things, but the most likely is that you are still looking at too small a sample size. You don’t quantify how many hands you played other than “many, many bets”. Until that number is in the tens of thousands of hands, your results in a six deck game with very poor penetration is going to dominated by variance.

(Go read about N0 (N-Zero) to learn more about that.) Also, you still have at least one misunderstanding about the game. You will never win 50% of your hands, even in super-high counts. See If Read more ».

As for the online casino I’m playing, the penetration varies from 70-83%, usually around 75% (pretty good) and the decks are opened in front of you, you see all the cards, and then they shufle them in front of you. I guess I’ll continue playing till I have more of a sample than the 70k euros (i beliene its around 10-11k bets), I can afford to lose some more money 😛 I watched your link and I have 1 more question if I may. If only at TC 18+ you win a bet more often than you lose, how Read more ». Ken hello again!!its me your midnight fan???????????????? You have opened my eyes for good so one more question 4 you sir!! In a 6d s17 das bj3.2 double on any 2 cards we need the bet spreads why? To over come the losses through the negative counts?and if i have to play under tc -1i need that bet spreads more than i would need them if i wong out at 0tc?or the spreads are the one that creates the edge 4 the player?and if instead of spreading 1/12 at my casino i spread only 1/3 i Read more ».

We have an Indian casino about an hour and fifteen minutes away where we play with no heat and very friendly dealers and pit bosses. Both double deck and 6 deck games have great penetration85% plus, no surrender but double on anything, split up to 4 times. A couple of interesting notes. I was on a crazy run and had about $8k of $500 chips and the pit boss leans over to me and says “you know, it’s OK to leave with moneyyou don’t have to stay and give it back?” Then on another trip one if the dealers who Read more ». PLEASE Take a look at this.

Yesterday one guy in a local cazino made something very strange in bj.he took almost 10.000euro The strange part of corse was that the game was with smc if i tell them correct.the machine that shaffle after every hand. More strange was his bettings.he was betting for some rounds the minimum 10euro and after sudenly BOOM!!!200euro in each box.he was playing in two boxes and he decided BOOM maximum bets and sometimes he opend also a 3d box.he was taking all the time tens and ases.also the dealer was taking 10 Read more ».

U explain very nice your answers but maybe i have a wrong concept of idea from the begging.a counter has 53/100 chance to win!right?i understand that this doesnt confirm by it self that if i play 100 times i will win exacly 53 times.maybe i win 60 times maybe 40.if i have understand it correct this is cause of tbe variance.and to finishe with the variance/luck u need to play to the long run.but as much as i try to find a number or math type to give a number or an amount to these words i cant!!!maybe its Read more ». Also when one player wants to play with just the maths and overcome the good and the bad luck i cant understand how much time is needed in continious game?or should i think not in time but in hands??and i cant understand if the tables or the cazino have united memory!i mean that if i play 10 days in the row every day of 5hours each day and i loose every time for those 10 days and i decide to go after on month for 10days again of 5hours each day the maths those days will have to give Read more ». It sounds like you are wondering whether things have to eventually even out, so if you’ve had a losing streak the coming days “will have to give you profit”. It never works like that. The cards don’t know you’ve been on a losing streak.

Each time you play the odds are the same. There is no “memory”, between casinos, or in the same casino, or in the same session, or over 100 sessions. When discussing how long you need to play to have a good chance of making a profit despite luck, a useful concept is a statistical measure Read more ».

Ken Smith hi again.sorry if i write in a wrong section but i want to ask two things.when the true count is high and its time for us to bet as back counters or betting more like players on the the table and there are three or five bases/players we bet where for better results?first base?the last one?or it dont matter.?second guestion i have read that to survive the long run and play all good luck and bad luck we need 50 times the max bet.if i decide to play flat bet of 5dollars it means that i Read more ». It doesn’t matter which seat at the table you choose. The only difference is that you get to see a few more cards before making your decision if you sit at third base. But that effect is a minor one. Sony vaio e series pcg-61212w drivers. For your other question, you ask about bankroll needed to flat-bet $5, and how much profit that will yield. I assume you mean you will play only in positive counts, otherwise there of course will be no expected profit. How much earn per hour?

Off the top of my head I would estimate that a $5 flat bet Read more ». If it’s really a non-replenishable bankroll, I think it’s too risky.

My rule of thumb is to not make an initial bet of more than 1% of your bankroll. That would imply a $12K bank for $10-$120, and a $18K bank for $15-$180. I also realize that when starting out, that can be an unmanageable sum to accrue. Most players in that situation will take a shot with the smaller bank. If it falls apart, it’s back to work to build another bank. I don’t trust my off-the-cuff RoR estimates because I’m out of practice.

Let me see if I Read more ». I ran CVCX from Qfit.com to get some numbers.

CVCX is worth the money for these sorts of calculations, even though it takes a while to get the hang of it. 6 decks, S17, DAS, $8000 bank: $10 to $120 spread: 75% (4.5/6) penetration: Win per 100 hands: $22, RoR: 24% 83% (5.0/6) penetration: Win per 100 hands: $26, RoR: 15% $15 to $180 spread: 75% (4.5/6) penetration: Win per 100 hands: $32, RoR: 38% 83% (5.0/6) penetration: Win per 100 hands: $40, RoR: 28% With a $12K bank, 75% penetration $10-$120 RoR drops to 11%. With a $12K bank, Read more ». I’ve been learning to card count.

I’m using the Hi-Lo system. (But I’m looking at the TKO system as well.) I’m dealing one deck and keeping track of my outcome as well as the time it takes me to get through a deck. My best so far is 40 seconds.

There are three questions I have for you 1. How to best compute “decks dealt” by just looking at the discard shoe?

In my second-to-last casino visit I did very well BUT one of the other players at the table actually said “what are you doing man? Counting cards?” Read more ». Estimating the number of decks in the discard tray is a skill that you can practice at home. Buy a few used decks from a casino gift shop, and try guessing how many cards are in various sized stacks. You don’t have to be super-accurate.

Getting within a half deck accuracy should be good enough. At low bet amounts, you cannot afford so-called camouflage to hide your tactics. Just keep your sessions at any single table short.

KO is roughly equal in strength to Hi-Lo, and most people find it easier. TKO improves on it further, but Read more ». Hello Ken,I’ve recently started learning card counting with hi-low system. I find this matter amazing and I’m confident I can get to master it and I dream of nothing but success while reading and practicing day and night, every second I have free.I just found your website and it seems very interesting. I would like to interact with you, for I have a world of questions and inquiries.To start off with a question:how come your course or classes of such a value are published for free?Thank you,Joe. I’ve begun the process of card counting (learning to count down a deck & memorizing the I18–the local casinos don’t allow surrender so I haven’t bothered with the fab 4). The BJ games where I live are very limited in number (like ONE per ‘casino’) and, unfortunately, have a HE of.66% (according to a link you provided in another thread, where I could input the house rules).

Anyway, I’m memorizing the I18 and bought Schlesinger’s book and when I got to his table on the I18 I noticed that his indices are slightly different than what I’ve been learning. I play blackjack for almost 16yrs and until now i cant win,no matter what i do i cant do anything.I played $25,$50 or$100 table it doesnt matter the +count if the dealer can’t bust you cant bet the game.And most of the time i won the negative count of course i dont raise my bet because of – count thats horrible thing.I always play DD deck blackjack can you tell me what to do in my this game easy and to bet the casino?I have very good bankroll management $14,000 with $25 table DD spread 1to8 the only thing if Read more ». Perhaps you are exaggerating your bad luck, but it is quite impossible to play beatable games with accurate card counting for 16 years and not be ahead of the game. You say you’ve played “$25, $50, $100” tables and it “doesn’t matter”. Well, the denomination of the table doesn’t matter at all, so I suspect your thinking about the game still is not based on the pure math, and instead has a big superstition component.

Sure, even when counting and playing perfectly, sometimes you’ll seem to win all the negative count hands and lose the positive count hands. But, over Read more ». I was just on this site to look at some info Ken had about the Gamemaster in regards to a review of his book on Blackjack Forum.

I saw your questions. First, there is NO one that can learn card counting in one day. This is not a quick, easy, get rich scheme. I don’t know if you know basic strategy already but if you do, stick to that. If not, then take a look at the Wizard’s simplified basic strategy at: You can also go to Ken’s Blackjack Basic Strategy engine; place the most common rules you think Read more ». Other players at the table don’t change your strategy on average, meaning that basic strategy is still the optimal way to play the hand without considering the cards already in play.

However, it is true that the specific cards being dealt can change the optimal decision if you are able to take them into account. The easiest way to do that is to use a card counting system and strategy variation index numbers. For a basic strategy player, the game should be played identically whether you are a heads-up against the dealer, or at a full table of awful players. This sounds all great! I learnt the basics on my own and memorized a “cheat sheet” online in about 20 minutes (my brain is something else) and went to go play at the casino and won 400$ in about an hour and a half on 15$ bets (not including double downs etc) but i ended up leaving with what I came with because my emotions came into the way when I should’ve done certain moves in the previous hands.

Definitely a lesson learned. My questions is, as the teachers and masters of this website. How successful have you been in Read more ».

GameMaster, After practicing the HiLo system with your 24 Lesson Blackjack course, I switched over to the HiLo system from my speed count system. I went to atlantic city and played for two days and I am happy to say that I won each day.

I am a $10 table player and I won about the same amount that I did using speed count system, Winning the money was great, but it meant more to me that I was able to use the HiLo system at the table with some success. I never thought I could learn HiLo system, but Read more ». Playing basic strategy is still a long-term loser, so you are strictly playing for entertainment. Your bet size should be as small an amount that is still entertaining. Realistically, with a bankroll of 500, you should likely be betting no more than $10.Choose hand-shuffled games if they are available. The games are slower, and that means smaller losses for you.

Other than that, there is no difference between hand-shuffled or machine-shuffled. (Even continuous shufflers don’t make a difference if you are just playing basic strategy.). I understand, give me a link to the forum where I can contact people who play blackjack,maybe email of address to these people will be very helpful to me I look for blackjack player which play regulary in casinos in America or Europe, I would like to contact them I have a few questions IF you have time to reply I will be very grateful! In Poland, there are casinos where there are playing 6 decks, hand shuffling and minimum 2usd or 4 usd bet so it is perfect for training It is best to play when Read more ».
