@@A1-BJ when someone can count through a deck of cards one at a time in like a minute, are there tips to make it faster? It seems insane to me that people can do it in 20 seconds.

Super glad to have you around. I can tell you’re passionate about this, gives a super great vibe when watching.

[@A1-BJ]

Thanks man!

[@Faux.Player]

Nice to get some practice in. Thanks for the effort.

[@A1-BJ]

Thanks! What does your profile picture mean?

@@A1-BJ Ah it is a deconstructed die. 🎲 plus I like that it looks like a cross. I am a fan of craps too. However, the only casino game that I have ever truly played is blackjack . I like the idea of counting but feel with my current life style, the hours would be too much to truly take advantage. What do you think about a D'Alembert betting system as a cover play but jumping up by the normal card count 1-20 bet spread when the true count hits the appropriate number? My example would be start at $30 at a new shoe ($10 table), then go up or down by $10 depending on a win or lose (D'Alembert system) if the true count drops below a -1 drop to a minimum bet. If the true count goes up add to your bet the normal amount per your spread.

[@A1-BJ]

@@Faux.Player that sounds fine as long as your bankroll can handle playing through the negative counts. On the BJA software, their test outs do a similar thing with a true -1 lower than zero, and treu negative 2 lower than -1. I would suggest pairing this with back counting and wonging in at a true 1 or 2, then playing back down to the negative number.

[@Faux.Player]

@@A1-BJ yeah taking a break when the count gets true -1 or less seems like a money saving great idea. And when you first arrive waiting for a true 2 to start would hopefully allow for a nice start.

[@timothywallace5507]

You didn’t double that 11 Vs Ace at 14:05 because it was a -4 count @ the time?

[@A1-BJ]

Correct, 11 vs. Ace in an H-17 games deviates by Hitting at a true count of -1 or lower.

[@ChrisCreates11]

Love ur videos man I was right on first but of by one on second I think I know when too lol

[@daple1997]

Do you play no surrender?

[@A1-BJ]

Correct. I don't have surrender games near me. I'll play it, if available, obviously, as it lowers the house edge.

[@gustavopazrequejo6691]

have you ever tried to record yourself at a casino while playing ( maybe with a spycam (stevenbridges style)) it would be awesome, try at least once

[@A1-BJ]

It also could land you me in jail. Cameras are considered devices. They could claim I was using it to cheat, and there would be nothing I could do. that It is not worth it, in my opinion. Plus, spy cams aren't cheap.

[@nawendusingh2858]

why no double at 13:56

[@A1-BJ]

I believe the count was too negative at that point... but I'd have to rewatch

[@Bran-ns4ys]

The count was -4. In H17 11vA just hits below 0

[@nawendusingh2858]

@@Bran-ns4ys damn i always forget that deviation

[@bruce4139]

I'm excited for this, I'm going to use my BR of 5k and use my bet spread and see how much I make edit: based on my bet spread I didn't really get to move my bet and ended today with 4925 a loss off only 75 not bad

[@simonmach1ne]

Can i play BJ without Card Counting in first beginning profitably? Use a flatbet and basic strategy

[@A1-BJ]

Profitablly? No. All you'll do is lower the house edge to just under 1%

[@simonmach1ne]

@@A1-BJ i play Live at Home Like You and doesent Count Cards but it works Fine. 30% Profit each session of my Roll

[@987buckwheat]

Your channel is very educational, but this experiment is not realistic for an AP. You understand heat. With that spread playing one on one, a casino with those good rules would quickly back you off. At least run the experiment with a 6 deck shoe with a realistic penetration of 1 to 1 1/2 decks. You are basically just testing how accurate the betting software is.

[@A1-BJ]

I am currently running a 6 deck experiment on my Patreon. Feel free to join. And I agree, sometimes you'll get backed off, but you never know who will let you play. Hit a place really hard for a few hours until they back you off and then go hit another shop.

[@basketballgamesnbanba1423]

@@A1-BJ How much per hour do You have on 6deck shoes experiment with 50k bankroll ? I see that on 2 decks is near 470$ per hour so on 6decks shoes is less per hour EV using the same bankroll ?

[@A1-BJ]

@@basketballgamesnbanba1423 6 decks would be less, yes. I don't have the exact numbers off hand. But the 6 deck experiment I'm doing on my patreon is a 10k bankroll. So it is much less like between 40 and 50 an hour.
