you and mel thinking of taking down the house? -- nm - pixman May 21, 10:09 1
- nah - just thinking out loud. -- nm - Diva May 21, 10:10
They're ususally good up to a six deck shoe (although it's less effective with more cards). It's the continuous shuffle machines they can't count. -- nm - pmb May 21, 10:03
counting's pretty much pointless now. -- nm - Reagen May 21, 10:03 11
- Really that's not true at all. There are still plenty of places you can play with limited decks. -- nm - pmb May 21, 10:04 8
  - Admittedly I don't play blackjack much anymore, but I haven't seen anywhere with small deck setups in ages - Reagen May 21, 10:06 7
    - It's hard, but I know people who do it. I played single deck blackjack at Ceasars last fall. I actually didn't enjoy it because you spent so much - pmb May 21, 10:11
    - Yup. The movies and tv make you think it's a simple system of +1, -1 or nothing until the deck is in your favor. Much more math involved than that. -- nm - Krusty May 21, 10:08 2
      - Well, there is a simple system like that that works. -- nm - TFox May 21, 10:20 1
        
        Not really. It's just the way it's described in short since describing what it actually takes to count cards well is boring and full of equations. - Krusty May 21, 10:38
    - surveiliance is the killer - not deck size -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 21, 10:08
    - I miss the single deck blackjack table at the Golden Nugget -- nm - oblique May 21, 10:07 1
      - DO NOT WANT! -- nm - Golden Nugget Buffet May 21, 10:08
- Yeah, really, just play the game. If you need to get into counting, it's not the game for you. -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 10:03 1
  - If you're out to win money, counting will help you. I'm not in it for the fun, I'm in it for the cash! -- nm - Krusty May 21, 10:04
yes since your only counting the cards drawn whats in the deck is irrelevant -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 21, 10:01
Multiple decks, meaning a six or more deck shoe? - Krusty May 21, 10:01 1
- yes. -- nm - Diva May 21, 10:02
rainmain counted into a six deck shoe. I'm sure anyone can do it. -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 10:00
