Ace Sequencing

I�m new to Ace Sequencing.

Here�s the scenario: I�m playing 2 hands, heads up with dealer. An ace is coming but I�m not sure which hand it�ll fall on. Most advise to put big bets on all two hands. So I�ve got $100 on both hands. The ace falls on hand 1 and I win. The second hand (that also has $100) loses to the dealer. In this scenario, I haven�t made any money because, 1 hand lost, the other won � so I�m back to the same amount.

Is there another way to bet when Ace Sequencing?

Don't dwell on one outcome.

If one hand wins, it doesn't mean the other hand is going to lose. The hand that gets the ace has a huge advantage. The other hand is closer to even money. In the long run, this situation wins money.

If you knew that one of the next two cards will be the ace then you did the right thing, only - 2 x $100 is too small IMO.

Yes bet only the hand where you expect the ace.
When you bet more hands the flux is higher.

The biggest danger is that the dealer gets the ace,
for that reason I open at least 4 boxes, the first
and second , or only the first a big bet, the others min.bet.

The more often you get an ace as every 13th upcard, the bigger is
your advantage.
For example: 2 more aces = an advantage of about 8%
But also with an advantage of 8% over the house, there could be
flux, don't overbet.

E.H.

In the book, "Busting Vegas", Semyon Dukach and his M.I.T. team used a technique where they'd spot the last card under the stack as a 10, cut to it, then count down to that 10 and use it to bust the dealer.

Instead of cutting to 10's (which is only possible if you spot it) has anyone ever tried to sequence 10's and use it to bust the dealer if they're upcard is 6 and below?

Just make sure the dealer doesn't get it. If you get a hit rate of one out of three tries when you spread to 3 hands and are 100% sure the dealer is not going to catch the Ace in question, you still have a roughly 6% advantage on each spot.

For a $100K bankroll playing to 1/3 kelly that's still allows for a bet of about 3 hands of $800.

bigplayer, IMHO you know every thing best, thanks.
I should ask you more often.
