Good point!! When I edit, I do that a lot 😉

Starting to learn and got the voices support from my wife. Mostly have the basic strategy down and learning to keep count. More work to do. Thank you sir.

Lots more videos here for you!!

Excellent video. I have a couple of suggestions which would make these a better learning experience. You could mark the discard a with a tiny colored strip of tape for each deck to help people get better at estimating the remaining decks. Also, as long as you already have the running count, you could also put the true count in the corner. I would put the running count and true count in the lower right hand corner every two to three hands. Then a person practicing can put a small post-it note or piece of one over the running count and true count, run you video multiple times, and gets lots of practice, while you only have to deal one deck. Try eg. RC (running count) = 15, TC (True Count) = 3.

I’m soo happy you acknowledge the first two losses like that 😂

On it! ahahah just have a question: when you have a 12 vs a dealers 8 and you hit and get a 2, you now treat it as a 14 vs a dealers 8 right? And this happens every time you hit or split?

@A1-BJ

@goncalosilva4612 yes, you treat it as the new total and hit or atand based on that.. Sometimes, you can't... say you start with A,6 vs. dealer's 2, that's a hit. Then you pull another ace (soft 18) It should be a double down, but obviously you can't because it's your 3rd card, so you would stand. That's a rare situation... most are like what you described where you just have a new hard total and hit or Stand based on the new total.

What does this mean?

I liked every thing about this except for the fact that there were 18 tens or aces behind the cut card. I don’t mind setting up the deck so that there’s a high count but at least make it so we get more of those high cards, it’s more fun that way. I would have gone broke on the way this deck was set up. Max bets through a good portion of it but no high cards came because they were all behind the cut card. It’s a great video even with the count and playing being so weird.

I realized that, too. Just made another one today where we get back to about even before the cut card. It will be on Patreon soon and then KZread next week. Thanks for the feedback!! 😎

At 17:30, A6Avs10, you didnt hit bc the soft 18 was a "multi-card soft 18". I've heard conflicting advice on certain multi-card hards(seems vs 10 you should still hit though). Any clarification or resources? Love the channel, recent subscriber.

@A1-BJ

Yep, I messed up! Good catch. Hit any soft 18 vs. A dealer's 9,10, or A. HOWEVER, I bet what I was thinking was that if you can no longer double down, so if the dealer had a 2-6, you would stand. But, yes, good catch, that should be a hit!

Are you doing high cards are -1 or -2?

Im able to count while playing BS but I was losing the count sometimes and dont know why, usually I was off by 1 but when I just count and dont play basic strategy I keep the count almost every time

It is important for everyone to know that card counting often does not help the player card counter. When the count gets high and the deck becomes rich in 10s it becomes good for the dealer as well. Just because you know the count does not mean you will win.

The player has the advantage because they can double down, split and get paid 3 to 2 on blackjack. It is math. Anything can happen in a given hand, shoe, week, month, etc. If you play correctly, count correctly, bet correctly the player has the advantage over hundreds and thousands of hours.

I agree, but also knowing that the count I'd bad could help you as well. Maybe knowing there are more small cars left than big cards would help you decide whether to take a hit or not. If there aren't as many 10,s left than you can take a hit without busting. Or if there are a lot more small cards left than Maybe there isn't a 10 under his next 10 he has up.
