Casino Verite or Blackjack678 for Training/Practice? (nt)

Not looking to start any wars! :)
Been to both websites and they're a bit overwhelming for a newbie.
So many options, features, etc.

I tried hand practice before, and found it too slow to keep my
interest. Software MIGHT make learning/practice more fun. Not
sure.

Anyone know of any updates in the works for Vista, Dual Core
Processors, etc. ? Dual core would seem to be an xlnt match
for speeding up sims.

Thanks for putting up with my questions.
And thanks, again, for any/all input.

Casino Verite is many orders of magnitude faster than Blackjack678. The latest versions of CVData and CVCX allow you to specify the number of threads to use for a sim. Running a sim with two threads takes full advantage of a dual core processor. All Casino Verite products are Vista compatible.

I currently use CVData for sims and CVBJ for practice. CVData can sim virtually any set of blackjack rules, playing strategies, and betting ramps you want. It can also generate index numbers for any counting system. CVBJ (also Vista compatible) is as realistic as you can get. I haven't used CVCX much, but I know that it allows you to set up multiple threads for sims, and it also allows you to derive optimal betting ramps.

Norm is constantly upgradig them, from free, downloadable, minor upgrades to major upgrades. His service in unsurpassed.

Franz is right on all counts. In addition, CVBJ makes practice as enjoyable as possible. There's a female assistant who gives verbal explanations of various features of the game and deals the cards (she can be disabled for advanced players who don't need or want this). There are also numerous, varied drills that can make practicing less tedious.

Hopefully, making training fun will keep me focused,
while my bankroll grows.
