    Yeah but what you're forgetting here is that you can trick the system. Your lucky days (where you get heads) are independent of when you'll bet more or when you bet less. So basically even though you're constantly losing, you're betting less on your losses than on your wins. And as long as you do this you can cheat the system and mitigate your losses. Basically do martingale. Of course you can get busted. With my strategy there is around .1 percentile of that happening. So pretty much every 1000th time you're gonna lose with martingale. Of course that time you can easily lose all your money. That's why it is important to give yourself a good glass sealing above which don't bet.

    I am shocked by what I saw, what you are showing now is all in the distant past, now I will substantiate my words! Firstly, shuffling cards in any card games has been done through a shuffle machine for more than 15 years! There are no manual deals! At least throughout the post-Soviet countries and Europe! This means that the dealer himself cannot do any fraud! Secondly, even if the deal is from hand! then the shuffle is done with a riffle! then I watched how your expert collects cards by touching the deck of cards! This is not done anywhere! in short, I am disappointed in what I saw! It seems to be the capital of gambling!! but it turns out that you are still like everyone else in the last century! Let the casinos buy shuffle machines and there will be no fraud! and yes, I myself have been working in a casino for 22 years! in different positions

    I would never ask a dealer for greater deck penetration or to deal faster. This would make it very obvious that I am a card counter because these are things only a card counter would request. Unless you are tipping substantially, a dealer is not any less likely to rat you out if they suspect you of card counting. Plus having more hands per hour increases the likelihood of mistakes and increases the bankroll variance. Even the tiniest of mistakes could cost more than any extra money you could make by having a dealer speed up.

    Either you lose to yourself by hitting the 13 or you lose to the dealer by letting him bust. You have higher chance at winning if you stand and let dealer bust.

  • @lolorval3630
    @lolorval3630 День тому

    And then there’s me betting high when the true count is high only for the dealer to get 20s back to back while I get 17s-19s and lose hundreds. Counting cards doesn’t work. If the true count is high then the dealer is also going to get a lot more face cards as well. Just stay away from gambling

    The same logic here can be applied to playing poker professionally depending on the stakes one wants to play. The small difference is between the two is that if you at an ap, you may have to travel more frequently due to the casino most likely backing off an ap where poker is played amongst others instead of the against the house.

    Yes, the app is $5 (USD). However, how bout you update the features of your app, like IDK.... build in these techniques? There isnt even a timer available to track your progress. How bout using some data and so you can compare your counting speed/accuracy vs other user? It's a shame you guys have abandoned improving the app.

    • @Blackjackapprenticeship

      @sunalwaysshinesonTVs День тому

      @@Blackjackapprenticeship In addition to more progress metrics, the more the app can simulate table play (add simulated players?) WITH all the CC data as a HUD, the better IMO. Adding EV/AV trackers with bet spread & ROR calc would be also be very cool (assuming you guys wont be concerned about gutting your online membership -I would argue, app revenue generation has way more potential vs web subscription). Playing style profiles would also be cool. Id like to compare perfect play against a mix of my own variations (ie, gambler's fallacy, a way to test my predictive self-dellusion vs the maths). Adding a "competitive" player feature, ie, ranking single bankroll performance, would also make the app a very compelling use feature. Toggling the "Strategy Error" would be a nice to have -real-time on/off with an error tracker. Love the app cause I can see how it can do so much more! With your guys experience as CC, instructors & UA-cam, it could easily be the only go-to app for BJ

  • @sunalwaysshinesonTVs

    This video proves a point related to another BJA video, re: tipping the dealer. Most dealers WANT you to win money. Tipping isnt ergo a "professional" decision. It's not a business decision.. It's a human one. Respect the fact most dealers, esp in America, make min or close to min wage. Tips make up their real, living wage. Just fkn tip em. Factor in tips to your EV. See it as the cost of doing business. (Then again, if you're one of those "slash jobs" types so stock price goes up people, well, dont be surprised if others give zero shits about you).

  • @choklatecheeseburger

    One of the biggest barriers to card counting is figuring out how many decks the dealer is using. If you ask them, they instantly know you're card counting. You gotta get really good at knowing what a deck of cards looks like.
