Hello, does anyone know what optimal card counting system and basic strategy variation for following rules: S17, ENHC, DAS, Surrender 2-10, 6 decks?
When you are talking about bankroll management, risk of ruin (ROR) is often mentioned but does that stand for the risk of ruin your bankroll before you have doubled it depending on how aggressive you are playing?
Another thing, are there anything negative with having a too large bet spread if you are not afraid of getting kicked out of the casino? I mean, can it impact your EV in a negative way if you are playing too aggressive sometimes?

No, it stands for the ultimate risk of losing your entire bankroll, if you keep playing forever. So, you either lose all your money, win all the money in the world, or die first, trying.

"Another thing, are [is] there anything negative with having a too large bet spread if you are not afraid of getting kicked out of the casino? I mean, can it impact your EV in a negative way if you are playing too aggressive sometimes?"

Yes, if you bet more than twice your optimal bet, for any given situation, and you do that as a matter of course, you will eventually go bankrupt even though you have the advantage. If you bet all the money you have every time you flip a coin, eventually, you'll lose all your money, right?

The ideal strategy for that game is too long to put in a reply. I use "The world's greatest black jack book" which will give you the strategy. Risk of ruin is the risk of losing everything. I play with a high risk of ruin because if you play within the bounds of your bankroll the game is just too boring. Even with a $5,000 bankroll you'll have to play something like $5-25 per hand. After a long day of that you might bring home a couple hundred bucks. Most people make more than that working. and if you can make more working, why risk it playing blackjack? So , over bet your bankroll , you may lose it all, but you may also triple it, and your heart will be pumping and the highs and lows will feel like your on a drug

Tip: when your winning take a break and mail some of the money home. Yes, put it in a thick envelope, the kind meant for mailing pictures, make sure you've got the right postage, (I put 3 one dollar stamps on it)_ and be smart about how you mail it. A lot of casinos have ups stores which are perfect.

I was never a consistent winner till I started doing this, I like to overbet which means eventually you will lose your bankroll. I almost always leave vegas with no money, but have it coming to me in the mail... No I've never had a single envelope stolen, and it is way way safer then sticking it in your car or giving it too a friend or keeping it in your pocket
