I just found this channel so I'm trying to just get the basic card counting down I'm not doing so well but it helps when he has the running count for the next round

This was absolutely a perfect video. I loved that We could play along to keep the count. Please make more of these. So much fun!

As someone who is just learning the basically strategy, I liked being able to guess when the next move should be. I was going to try counting too but gave up early.

4:46 I lost it when she split on a 20 then manages to bust, she could’ve won that hand, crazy

I very much liked this format. I've been with you for quite some time and this was very entertaining. Having the dynamics of different experience and playstyles was fun to watch without needing to be more concerned with my own hand and count.

This is one of the best vids you’ve done so far. Just getting into blackjack and all about your page. Please more real-time vids like this! Thank you 🙏

You really should do more videos like this. Now that you might not have any more ideas of guides on how to play Blackjack, this is a good way to get videos out.

I love this kind of content, I hope you guys continue to make more like it! Thank you! I do not count cards, I just enjoy playing basic strategy. Some day I'll learn to count, for me specifically it's just a lot to comprehend.

Colin I love your content BUT it would be cool to see this with a ploppy playing perfect basic strategy and not doing things like splitting 5s of the jump. I know the counters would likely still prevail but the ploppy could have a positive variance streak that would make it interesting. I just think it'd be a better comparison, anyways thanks again for the great content!

This was so entertaining! I'm not necessarily asking for anything, but it would be nice if you make those type of videos every once in a while (like few times a year) 🙂 also, I was looking for a not that aggressive bet spread, I guess I already found a 1-6 one 😅 also, since I started learning basic strategy and counting about a month ago (I don't spend that much time training a day, like 15/20 minutes) I decided to try keeping the running count on my own from the 2nd hand (I got the idea after the 1st one): I messed up twice, which is obviously very bad, but at least it was right on the 2nd hand because I got distracted and another very chaotic one. But yeah, all of that too say that it was very entertaining and also super useful, this is the first time I'm actually able to see the speed of an IRL game (I know it can vary a lot, but still), great video! 💪

You can't beat the game with a 1-6 spread if the penetration is 1.5 decks. You need around a 1-20 spread (2 spots) to have good EV and a lower N0.

If it's a single or double deck then yeah for sure, but for 6 decks you need bigger spread

Love how yall put the running count and decks remaining on the screen in between rounds. So I can verify my accuracy when conting along.

I wish the dealers at a casino kept asking if we want them to deal another hand at the end of the shoe xD Nice video, good fun. If you do more, make sure to have the discard tray in the shot

I've realised that is much easier than I thought. I noticed that when you are not counting every card individually, it's so much easier. In addition, by just thinking of the number, not the calculation itself. You have enough time for the rest.

SUPER helpful on how do to the betting spread and when. Also was able to keep the count along with the vid in a "live" play scenario, even with distractions. Thanks for this one!

There should be more of these videos. Very useful!

MORE OF THIS, PLEASE!

Lol I’m sitting here eating breakfast frustrated at her moves

This was really good to see how far I have gone learning how to count and convert true count, watching them bet the amount I am guessing they should was so fun I'd love to see more of these, and possibly with a view of the discard tray as that is probably the only part I am not too comfortable with ;D Love this channel, been watching for a while now and is probably the best for learning all you need to get started and I bought some of the books mentioned in some videos, really good reads ;D

Love when yall play, deal etc and let me count along and learn live.

So I tried to count this today. I was off by 1 two separate times, and off by a lot (6,) in one hand when I forgot I was counting. I got distracted. Watching this again taught me a lot about what you were doing and when and why. I think I need to learn strategy now and keep practicing counting and see if i can do both at once. rofl.

SD1 surrendering 88 v T above a true 1, very nice. Didn't know that deviation.

I got to get me a vest like Colin is wearing when I hit the casinos. Love it. Pitt boss won't think I'm counting wearing that flash.

This is a awesome video, you guys should really do more like these!!!!! Very helpful!

Would love to see more sessions like this.

absolutely loved this! hopefully becomes a new feature of the channel.

Echoing the sentiment that this was a great format. I'd like to see this more frequently. Some suggestions for improvement: A better view of the deck/discard so we can play along with estimating true count. Also I like the periodic updates on running count but it could be a cool way to use the annotations or a special closed caption in the video so that the count is always available updated to the most recent hand.

This was a great video! Keep making ones like this, it is very helpful

Could you make/are there more of these? This passively teaches a lot about the game and is relaxing af to watch.

I learned to play blackjack on The World Is Not enough PS1 game. Ever since then I play it blackjack when I'm not too busy. My win rate is pretty high despite not learning to count cards in the traditional sense.

Been playing since 2019. Logged in 650 hours that first year, then about 100 hours the following years. Break even player even after all this time. It is what it is. The forces are strong when I am about to have a chance to get ahead!! My 2 card 20s are fun to see on the high count until…dun dun dun….hello Dealer backdoor blackjack (4) times in a row to my pocket 20s. The funniness of the casinos!

Still just starting out…had trouble keeping up with the RC but this video really helped with understanding how TC works

Loved being able to practice my counting

Love it!!!! More videos like this, please!!

Great episode! Post more! At least once a week. These are helpfull. Watching others, that are at a lot closer to our levels, practicing. Would be great as well if you put thr card's sums and the count on the screen the entire time.

This was awesome to watch! Love the dealer vest 😂

Remember guys, card counting does work you need a good bank roll, and you will lose hands but that’s where you need to place the appropriate bet. It’s all about generating positive EV and it’s a long term game. I won my last few sessions of blackjack but the time is just as much as a pro poker game. I play poker most of the time now. I every once in awhile play blackjack. But when I do I go with a solid bank roll and play strictly with counting. Lastly stay humble and stay focused no matter how fun it is if you lose the count please get off the table!!

I really liked this video and I wish there was more of it!

Haha colin's commentary is brilliant. Love it.

I was just at the casino counting cards. Had my first losing session in about 2 months. No matter how many times I lose, it totally sucks. I was in a great winning streak from Vegas to the near by casinos. But it's too to know how the pros do it. I'm a little off on my wager. It's good to know the value you put on the hands. Thanks

I lost last time I went to the casino and I was very discouraged and I started questioning if somehow I was counting the cards wrong. After being able to keep up with the count all the way through this video, it gave me my confidence back that I am at least not messing up the running count. I find it kind of hard to tell how many decks are left though and even how many are discarded at casinos. Maybe I'm messing up the true count idk. Great video though! Will come back to practice before next trip to casino.

The fluctuation in just one shoe of play was very mild. I have run simulations for given rules and conditions and the sims show that you need a very large bankroll into the many thousands to achieve a certain risk of ruin. This is because losing streaks can go on for months where you lose and lose and it can make you wonder if you are doing everything right. It’s interesting to note that the two card counting players had outcomes where one lost and the other won, and this demonstrates that anything can happen in the short term. It’s quite possible that if more shoes were dealt, one could go on having winning hands while the other loses big time and yet each player played correctly, apart from having different bet sizing. It can take hundreds of rounds of play before your results get close to the EV of the game.

This was great! Do more of this with different cameos

Great video. I would love more like this.

For someone that has played so much blackjack, he doesn't even know that the first car dealt to the dealer is dealt face up. He was dealing the first hand to himself face down and then flipped the second card up. Pretty amateurish

I hope you make more videos like this!

It was pretty entertaining watching the two counters play perfectly and your wife just play according to her whims and sometimes things just wouldn't work out for the counters while she would get lucky. It goes to show that card counting is playing the odds, but odds are just that - odds. You can profit over a career of counting if you're good, but you WILL have sessions where you lose hand after hand after hand despite playing perfectly and you *will* inevitably feel the tilt when someone who's drunk, doesn't know what they're doing and is just there to have a good time wins big lol.

Really enjoyed watching this. Wish you would do it again. Love Loudon. Guy won't stfu.

I use Uston advanced point count. The true count is almost twice as high into the mid game. For example at 9:15 it is 28 divided by remaining half deck number and is greater than 2.5. Hi lo is a little less than 3 not high enough to take insurance.

I loved Colin's face I can tell he's torn cause his wife is losing But also happy she's losing cause she's playing wrong hahahaha

I liked this video the best - I like to see blackjack being played but with how much is being bet and why - and the result of pro vs amateurs. As well as card counting. Please do more of such videos. There are so many blackjack videos on KZread that actually show people playing incorrectly. Thanks

Fantastic video! Kyle Sever posted some really good counting techniques on Arnold Snyders Blackjack Forum in 2001. This post goes deep into seeing the card in your head as if it was glued. Plus more, great article and just wondering your take on this article Colin?

I have never rooted for anyone more than Grace following her heart

Pls post more movies like that. I love watching this game in this format

I really liked this video! Can you do some more please? One counter and two gamblers, and the gamblers do not know the others are counting.

Hope you would release another similar vid but with card totals and individual balance. Can be handy for beginners trying to follow through
