Blackjack card counting
Anyone heard people getting banned from doing this?
Seems to work for me in casino, but i'm just playing 25 bucks a bet. I'm thought of increasing the bet, but i'm afraid the casino won't want to see me ever again. |

"21" was based on a true story. And there is no doubt card counting is real.
As long as your not putting any serious dents into the casino, I doubt they will pay that much attention to you.

I gamble about once a week, some might say i have a gambling problem, but some don't. Basically i'm just saying card counting has brought me some extra bucks, so i just wanted to see if i can increase my bet without pissing off the casino. If incraseing the bet will lead to losing in the long run, most likely i'll stop playing so big. |

but you need half a million to double your money in one year. there is this chinese guy who supposedly wins a lot of money oversees because the games are better but it can be dangerous and cheating is more common. google blackjack traveler. poker is better but is harder to master. you get to the long run quicker with poker but takes like 6 months to get enough to hustle weaker players... the best and worst gamblers are asian...

or ak 23 78 =0 since the ace and king are -1 each and the 23 are +1 each... anyway I just caught you in a lie because if you really knew how to count u would know that u have to spread your chips and would know about camouflage. and people do get banned esp in high roller areas... |

I don't think you're card counting...Raising your bet and basic strategy are the foundation of any card counter's play. If you aren't raising your bet, then you can't win consistently. You can't leave the table when the game's bad and come right back in when the going is good, do that too much and you'll get kicked out. I played blackjack very aggressively from 2004-2006, ~50 trips and a lot of heartache. It's not for everyone, but it's sure is a great way to learn about gambling. If you really want to learn card counting, learn one or all of these systems: KO BJ - http://www.amazon.com/Knock-Out-Blac...8595633&sr=8-1 Hi-Lo - http://bj21.com/ads/pbj1.html Level 2 Hi-Lo system - http://www.amazon.com/Blackjack-Bloo...ref=pd_sim_b_5 Another person said it, but at $25 minimum bet, your bankroll for a weekend's play has to be ~$5000, ($8000 more realistically) to limit losing it all on the weekend. I encourage everyone to read black jack attack if they're even remotely interested in getting involved. http://www.amazon.com/Blackjack-Atta...8595725&sr=8-1 That book will show you the risk/reward of it all. |

I would do $25 x 2 hands of 100 and table hop. But why does it have to be a $25 minimum? If it was a $25 minimum no mid shoe I would spread to 2 hands of $100 and table hop. not sure if he could do that for the whole weekend but i would try at least a 1-10 spread and wong out @ -1 are there any other casinos nearby? if so, you maybe be able to just play at the casino u are staying at but early in the morning the day you leave. Early in the morning usually means less players which add to your win rate. crowded tables = less money... we are telling you too much because you will fail, I am almost sure of it... why do the other "counters" think?

Early morning play is hard because you're just standing around waiting for a positive count when no one is playing. Then, all of a sudden you jump in for 2 hands and leave is quite suspicous if you rinse and repeat for a few hours. Plus it's REALLY boring. But, it is a valid play style, you're definitely playing safe by doing that. |

I sounded overly harsh because you're probably going to lose a lot one day because the youtube videos didn't teach you enough. Honestly, read my earlier post, read a book or two or three, practice at home, on yahoo games, and see if you can actually win money in a play setting. Gambling is a poor form of entertainment |

Of course its true because Its not to the casinos advantage to have card counters playing blackjack. They have the right to refuse service to anyone.
