*** OFFICIAL Blackjack Card Counting Thread ***

[sd858duece]

I hate to tell you but putting max bets at the wrong time (such as right after the shuffle) will kill your edge enough to where you're not +EV anymore.

That's why the pit bosses tolerated it.

Similarly, they tolerate card counters who make incorrect (major) decisions and/or lose the count while playing.

This is especially true at bigger joints where they are more sophisticated at figuring out whether you are a +EV counter. At small Indian casinos, they tend to kick you at the slightest sign you're counting. Interestingly, -EV counters take these ejections as a badge of honor, and assume they're doing something right.

that's why I would leave with 50k or I would leave with 2k... either way I was happy and being able to come back is a plus...

I used to be a big degenerate back in those days...
