Do not believe what you hear about card counting. It is a lie!

Do not believe what you hear about card counting. It is a lie! The authors of these books know that you can not make a living playing blackjack! That is why they�re in the business of selling Blackjack books instead of making their living from playing Blackjack. Casinos all across the United States cheat! Regardless of single or multiple deck! The authors of card counting books know this! These systems have no long term advantage against real world casinos! Do not believe anyone who tells you otherwise!

Go into any casino in the nation and ask them if they will allow you to count cards while you play. They wont, why, because it is a threat to their business. Done right, card counting with a long term positive player edge will result in making money. However, most dont do it right, either they lack bankroll or they play with emotion. I am guessing that you are disgruntled after having attempted counting for yourself and lost. Whatever the reason be, just cause you have yet to see it work, doesnt mean it won't. Math works, the casino gambles on it everyday. Some days they lose money, but they still know that the math works, and in the long run they will come ahead. That is why they fear counters, they know the math works. Given an edge, anybody can make money in the long run. Put down 10,000 hours of study in actual play, on an actual complete counting method, make the study available for review, and then assert your claim. Don't make a false claim cause you lost a few times, we all do, even the casino.

are actually feared by the casinos. Most do not want counters because they do not lose as fast as ploppies and can play even or better than the house at best. Screws up their bottom line.

mekilz sounds like another Dougie Granster, but truth be told, casinos hate winners, love losers, and 98% of counters get a luke warm reception.

Looks like Jerry Patterson posted.

Does Jerry play blackjack anymore?

I agree, do not always believe what you here. Remember, the dealer's done card is only a "10" just 40% of the time. What about the other 60%?

I am so pleased to at last be informed of the truth. I had been believing in card counting since 1979. Guess I better quit while I'm ahead!! :-)

Q: Remember, the dealer's done card is only a "10" just 40% of the time. What about the other 60%?

A: Not a "10".

You can't win, consistantly, if your wrong constantly(60% WRONG). Progressions really do work, MORE than 60% of the time. And do win, consistantly

LOL

Yep, that's right, doesn't work, no way, can't be done.

Let's go home boys, we've been beat.

Let's see. A single deck has 52 cards, 16 of which are 10 value. How could the dealer's down card be a 10 40% of the time? Voodoo?

Your percentages too.
Q: If a coin is flipped 100 times and it comes up heads 40 times, what about the other 60 times?

I'll surely get flames for this but hear me out. The only progression I would recommend is the martingale. Many small wins but large losses. Mathwise, you're still playing at the house edge. Here's the small benefit: Casino's love martingalers (?) because they know the math works, and that they can get your whole bankroll in about 7 bets more or less. So they want you to keep coming back. Also, most of the time you will have a winning session coupled with a few big losses. This can be a good environment for chasing comps. As far as rating goes, the average bet size of a Martingale is higher than a flat better starting at the same bet. So I would suggest using this system for milking comps, but it is not a winning system. Just play with enough bankroll to keep your ROR very low.

The only downside I see to the progress as you win strategy is that in blackjack you will lose more than half of your bets, so you dont get to do this as often, and you very rarely get that long sequence. So if you win two in a row followed by a loss, which can happen frequently, the flat bettor would pull ahead of the progressionist.
