From all I can tell, Atlantic City Casinos seem to have the worst edge. Is this accurate? Can anyone suggest an Atlantic City Casino and what the strategy might be to gain the best edge? Thanks
Forum. The book comes out quarterly and you have a section that is published that tells you where the best places are to play and avoid.
It will also give you access to DONS DOMAIN which is something you should be a part of if you are going to move forward.
I am a very successful Blackjack player today, and I owe 100% of it to Don Schlesinger.
Hope this helped
First, bear in mind all AC games are 6 and 8 decks.
However, the rules are quite liberal. Under typical AC rules, playing perfect basic strategy including all the "fine points," the house edge in the 6-deck game is about 0.293%.
Typical (if not universal) Atlantic City rules are: 6 decks; DA2, SAP(3), S17, resplit and rehit split Aces, NS, plus a 2-card 21 resulting from a split is considered a fresh hand, and thus is paid 3:2 as a "natural."
Caesar's Boardwalk used to be my favorite, but that was before Caesar's was taken over by PPE; so I don't know if the atmosphere/games have changed since then.
The two Trump boardwalk properties, and the Showboat are other places where I have done well. Stay away from the Sands, the Claridge, and the bayside properties. The rest (Hilton, Trop, Bally's Park Place-Wild West and Resorts) are "O.K.," but not as good (IMHO) as Caesar's, Trump Plaza, Trump Taj Mahal and the Showboat.
Ally G has been "POLITICALLY correct". Why post on the comatose USA East page when a poster probably gets much more responses from Misc Blackjack readers?
For example, Ally has been received at least 17 responses from readers here. On the other hand, Ally would probably get 1 or 2 responses at best if his/her question were posted on USA East. The reason is that USA East has been somewhat comatose. USA East is so bad that sometimes I even skip that page and come right here for some "educational readings". Yo Mr. InHinding, what would you say about Ally's smart choice...posting here instead of USA East?
He may have received less responses on East, but they would have been regionally specific. He got some incorrect responses here (from folks who obviously haven't been to AC for a while) that he may not have got on East. BUT -- the thread may not have been as interesting. :-)
(You might notice that much of the up-to-date info he got was from posters who also post on East.)
I'd like to see the East page get going again. The problem is that, aside from offering occasional advice to new players, not much changes in the East. AND when something beneficial may happen, we're not likely to broadcast it. (I think we killed the goose that laid the golden eggs, for instance, by posting tooo much info on the AC Sands game.)
SW, after reading your USA East statistics, I can't resist to take a 2nd look at USA East. Guess what, you're right. There were lots of posts in 3O days, about 4 posts per day. Here are the 4 recent posts:
1) Sngldeck...are you here? (NT) (nt) (23) -- Omegaman -- 8 March 02, 9:12 a.m.
2) AC Hilton 8-deck game still good? (nt) (87) -- Burnt Card -- 3 March 02, 10:37 p.m.
3) What Happened To David Davidson? (nt) (48) -- Bob Fisher -- 5 March 02, 1:58 p.m.
david davidson (35) -- dave the rave -- 11 March 02, 12:42 a.m.
4) Not really, but see my response on the Green page (nt) (37) -- Red Zebra -- 6 March 02, 11:43 a.m.
Your statistics misled readers to believe that USA East did well. In fact, a sample of the recent posts show otherwise. The 4 out of the 4 posts were "nt" posts!!!
Numbers don't lie. However, statistics can be twisted to serve anyone's purposes unknown
Perhaps we should close the USA East page, and request that all posts appropriate for it be posted on the Blackjack page. I'll start a thread on USA East asking whether to keep it open or close it.

on four breaths a day. That IS comatose.
Yea. But look at the number of hits on the posts below those you mentioned.
You might try to find out why there is so little AC traffic.
Perhapps few are aware of its existance in the east. It could be that you should go attack Donald Trump to draw attention to the board.
SW uses the "use it or lose it" technique to get Easterners to post again on USA East. The traffic immediately picks up right the way. Good job SW!
I am searching for a table over the game of blackjack and it is
really been hard to find and i just wanted a little help.
