Let's look at the real-world trade-offs on modern casino floors right now.

On one hand, you have the standard H17 game grabbing that extra 0.2 percent edge because the dealer is twice as likely to improve a soft 17 to a strong hand (0.8 percent increase) than they are to bust it (0.4 percent increase).

On the other hand, you find an elusive S17 table, but the surveillance or floor has mandated a brutal cut card placement, absolutely killing the deck penetration.

Assuming both tables are 3:2 payouts with identical limits, where are you putting your money? Do you take the math hit of the H17 rule for better deck depth, or do you protect the baseline house edge on the S17 table and deal with the frequent shuffles?

Hi, I’m looking for an online casino where I can play roulette and blackjack from Germany. Something like Stake, etc. No German casino please! I used to play at Stelario and NV Casino. Which ones can you recommend?

I had another odd hand today. So I am playing a few hands then a new dealer comes to tap out the current dealer. In this particular casino when there is a dealer change the new dealer has to burn a card. Well this new dealer forgot to burn a card and dealt me a crappy hand and dealt himself a blackjack.

Now I only had $25 on the hand so I grumbled a little and put another $25 out for the next hand. He deals one card and I say, you do know you forgot to burn a card right? He realizes he didn’t burn a card and calls the floor over. The floor was immediately annoyed and said, I can’t just give you $25 back out of the tray. I said, no problem I wasn’t trying to be difficult and the floor replied that they couldn’t tell I wasn’t trying. Just being an absolute smartass.

Was I in the wrong for saying something? I immediately wished I didn’t considering just a $25 bet but had that been $500 what would have happened?

Let's say "hypothetically" someone is milking a game that has zero heat. You're playing rated about twice a week. Hundreds of hours you're still climbing up. At what point will someone in the ratings system be like: How is he still winning? And catch this person.

I was looking up top 10 gamblin͏g sites uk for the worldcup and honestly every single list is just bet͏365, sky͏be͏t, willia͏m hill, over and over. yeah they're big names but their limits are trash, the apps lag like crazy, and the affordability checks are ridiculous, feels like applying for a loan just to bet ten quid on a horse. Does anyone actually use anything different? looking for sites with decent withdrawal speeds that don't make you feel like a criminal for wanting to gamble

I’m self teaching myself AP right now, and I was thinking. What do you guys think determine if someone is an advantage player?

Is it if they are net profiting? What if the hours they play is under N0? What if they’re not net profiting at the moment? Is there a minimum $ amount required?

Is it a matter of knowing XYZ concepts? What concepts? Basic strategy? Using true count to determine bet size? Knowing X amount of deviations?

My loose definition as of right now is they must have the following requirements:

1. Have knowledge regarding basic strategy, and using the true count to determine bet sizes. That’s the bare bones of advantage play right? Given enough hours that’ll guarantee some sort of profit in the long run?

2. Have a net lifetime profit at some point of time after playing the N0 of your most played game. Thus attempting to remove the effects of variance.

I think it’s a spectrum though. If you have #1, but only played 10 hours and still are at a profit. I can’t say lump you with the regular people who don’t know anything.

What do you guys think determines if someone is an advantage player?

I was thinking of a way to make getting reps in more interesting, and here it is. Not only can you play ranked, but you can play casual and solo, all of with are completely realistic odds with a 6-shoe (changeable). Obviously, ranked mode only works with players, so here you go!

In the summer of 1983,I arrived in Las Vegas with $2,100, no job, and no connections. Less than a decade later, he had executed over 500 cheating plays at the blackjack table in Las Vegas casinos — including a $151,000 single-night heist using a hidden computer strapped to a teammate's back — and retired without a single arrest, conviction, or trace of evidence.

Hi all, I just started using the CV software, I've noticed it dings some of my deviations plays that I believe to be correct as errors. 13 hitting against 2 at tc -1, taking insurance at 3+, both of these plays it said were incorrect. Am I using the software wrong?
