Blackjack - $1,000 VS. Vegas Using Perfect Basic Strategy

[@johnutter9483]

Classic crap. You got 18, dealer gets 19> you get 19 dealer gets 20 >. Dealer gets bust card and doesn’t bust. Play 2 hands to shake it up, doesn’t help. Surprised you didn’t loose more. You played well, just the blackjack gods said no. Get ‘em next time.

[@vorlonzevatron7142]

Using three level Advanced Uston Point Count, the count is +28 at 2:11, the true count is 28 divided by the number of half remaining decks. This is really high true count. Meaning you should bet really high in the next hand - the dealer busted in the next hand. At 3:58 the count is high again (+18), if true count is above 4 you can double down with A8 against 4.

I’m trying to learn basic strategy. Watching this video…pausing and deciding what I’m supposed to do. Double checking the cheat sheet and then watching. Really appreciate the video. You did everything right!

[@jacobcampos2407]

Basic strategy is just simply not enough to beating the house but their is a simpler way to beat them it just takes timing and it’s easy to spot a table with it

[@Dan-z6b3d]

I counted cars from 1962 to 1965 Blackjack is a very hard game to win.. But you cannot bet the same amount every thime or even 1 or 3 chips The idea is when you have an advantage you may bet 10 chips and when you don' t maybe one .. The question is when do you have an advantage Well it is difficult to count so I would act like there are only 2 decks and country the 10 cound cards and the other cards when there are more 10 count cards in the deck you would increase your bet and when there are more other cards bet less.. 4-5-and 6 count cards are the best for the house 10 count cards and aces are the best for the player. go on line and practice

Hello JV! There's not much you can do when the cards don't fall in your favor! But as you stated in the title, "Perfect Basic Strategy", is exactly how you played it! Like I've stated before, "I like your style of play" and also love your presentation and comments along the way! Robert /:-)

Hi there. Thanks so much. I appreciate that my friend. JV

[@brandonwinfield937]

The most accurate representation of blackjack I’ve ever seen 😂

[@vorlonzevatron7142]

If you had counted you would know only the first shoe was favorable for you. Your play was fine by basic strategy but the betting was off - you only increase the bet when the count is positive.

[@anthonyparker4772]

Is it just me or does anyone else hate when the dealer pulls the card and looks at it before showing the table?

[@maxrisk7145]

The 2nd shoe played beginning at 5:10 the count stayed between -8 and -12 the whole shoe. Good way to practice counting any higher positive best time to go heavier. The 1st shoe it got up to +7 at one point then you got a blackjack very next hand.

I had to keep pausing and double checking basic strategy chart first. Would be nice if they put the chart on an overlay of the screen and highlighted the hand each time. For those trying to learn

[@justenjette3086]

It’s the 11 double down hands that draw to make 15 that really just get me 😂

[@HennyBoyZoo]

one of the first things i learned is the more at the table the better

[@jacobcampos2407]

Perfect strategy is good only when you’re at a losing table so you barely lose. But the point of blackjack is not to get 21 it is to not bust while the dealer busts. So when the dealer busts in a row you know when to bet higher and just stay on each hand no matter what because their will be a lot of high cards and high count

[@Dan-z6b3d]

I counted cards for 1962 to 1965 4-5 and 6 cards are good for the house 10 count and acs are good for the player.. I would act like there are only 2 decks and count backwards 32 - 10 count cards and 72 little cards and aces.. if the count got higher than say 32 face cards and 63 little cards then start betting from one chip to say 10 as the ratio between 10 count cards and 72 little cards gets below 2. What i mean is say were 25 face cards and 40 little cards I would bet 10 chips also if a lot of 4=5=6 cards came out early i would start increasing my bet

[@garrettlattea815]

That dealer shuffles in a way that mimics the same shoe over and over

[@rheadog9546]

The key here is that he is allowed to double or get more money on the table in any case he cannot bust and the dealer has a bad hand. Many casino's have now made this against the rules which changes the odds considerably. If you can only double down on 9,10,11 then the casino is B.S. and they have stacked the deck against you.

Where’s my real question. As professional blackjack players when you see the table eating you alive and nothing is working out when do you walk away? After the shoe? After burn through your initial bankroll? Everything talks about how to play and bet nothing talks about dropping 10-14 hands in a row and just leaving.

he followed what it is called basic strategy which is a guide based on the highest mathematical probability of winning the hand

[@iagainstiification]

He asked about BET variation.

[@systemdnb214]

I don’t think there’s a method to that madness. For instance toward the end of that last shoe he was just betting bigger and playing double hands because he was down. People usually will place a big bet agate losing 2-3 deals. He was letting a lot of these bets ride too. Something I do a lot is let’s say I’m betting on units of $50. If I win or BJ even, I’ll increase the bet by at least $25. If you’re betting consistent units, the next bet win or lose you only lose half the previous win.

@@Opalsdad 4-5%? You're so, so far off. A proper ruleset - 6 decks, dealer stands on all 17s, blackjack pays 3:2, double any two cards including after splitting, resplit to at least 3 hands (except Aces), and late surrender available, the house edge is 0.36%. Even on an 8 deck game it's 0.38%. That's a far cry from "4-5%". Granted a DD H17 game is close to this, it's not abysmally bad, but when Treasure Island has 2D S17 at $50/hand...you'd be moving well under 0.3% house edge there.
