Hi.
I’ve been studying and practicing counting for many months, visiting a local casino a handful of times.
I spent many hours last week putting myself to the test in Vegas and a couple of San Diego casinos. I learned a lot with an overall acceptable loss for the week.
I really struggled with deck estimation and calculating what my bet should be. I ended up chipping up one unit at a time with high counts. I did OK, but I’m sure I under betted and likely would not have lost if I calculated accurately.
I just don’t have the math skills to do the needed calculations.
Can anyone advise me on methods to learn these skills or memorize what bets should be?
As an aside for anyone who cares, my biggest lesson that has been noted here is that pen means everything. Most profitable games where the least decks cut.
Thank you.
