I wish I had the memory skills to learn to do it.

For the life of me I've never understood the desire to play a game where the optimal strategy is equivalent to minimizing loss. I guess if you're getting free drinks or some other comps then maybe there is a possibility of a net gain, but it's just not for me.

But that requires optimal strategy plus more...if you can keep a running count and also insurance count then the net positive becomes a little bigger but to me it is still too small to mess with (as you suggest). I think some people who are good at keeping the counts just try to grind out a living playing....(I know a guy who did for years) but to me it is a waste because it becomes a job with really long hours that is ultra repetitive. I guess the good thing is you have no boss except the pit boss... So while I question the 'net less' aspect of your premise..(for those rare people who can do perfect strategy, AND keep 2 counts)..the net gain is way too minimal in terms of a % or $ per hour to bother with unless you are playing with a really big stack. ANd that doesn't even factor in getting asked to leave once you start making money (which you WILL be asked to leave...and not politely). Not to mention the margin for error is very slim...if you get distracted or make a mistake you ruin an hour worth of profit...

1. Blackjack pays 3/2 2. Surrender available 3. Dealer stays on soft 17 There are a couple others. If any of those rules go against the player, it adds quite a bit to the house advantage. The worst is blackjack paying 6/5, that adds like 3% to the house advantage by itself. |

and I would add playing with a single deck.....of course..and being able to double down on splits but yes, as you mentioned , these things simply HAVE to be there or why bother not to mention the stack you need to have......(BIG) not to mention if they get a whiff that youre not handing them money left and right, theyll ask you to leave... all in all I do not recommend the life...some people love it though .

Best line from Hangover - Counting cards isn't illegal, it's frowned upon.

I'll be playing some blackjack this weekend in Oklahoma. I guess the best strategy would be to tell them to take their 50 cent antes and shove therm up their asses.
