Blackjack question on card counting (how to play when true count is in favor)?

Posted on by

Ok, so I’ve learned everything about the basic strategy (like always splitting your aces/8s, hitting 16-12 if dealer has 7 or higher, when to double down, etc.). I’ve got that all done. But I know that the only way to crack the casino is to actually count cards.

So I know that 2-6 is +1 and 10-A is -1…..and you keep counting and you divide by the number of decks left to get your true count. That’s simple. But what I was wondering….is how you are supposed to play after you make a big bet (while having the true count in your favor).

Like if you get a 14 while the dealer has an 8…..should you still hit your 14….because to me it seems like you now have a great chance of busting out? Is it still worth it to hit it? Just stuff like that.

Or are you just supposed to keep playing the same way when the true count is in your favor….but just bet bigger?

1) If you repeatedly cut a deck of cards, what is the probability that you will cut an ace in fewer than five cuts? 2) It is estimated that the probability of winning in blackjack is 0.46 if you are given corresponding odds in favor of winning what must you wager to win $15.00? 3) In a manufacturing process, it is estimated that only 2 % of the bolts that are machined are declared defective, that is they are either too large or too small. In a package of 50 bolts what is the probability that there is at least one defective bolt?

 
 
 
 

Another blackjack question.?

I have played 21 plus 3. Some say the side bet is a sucker bet. I am a beginner but it seems I did well when playing the plus 3 (flush or straight my hand and dealer up card). It pays 9 to 1. It is my opinion, though new at playing, that I hit more often when there were fewer players at the table. Any ideas?
Dear Panda: can you state the odds in a way that is easier (for me) to understand? Is it 9 to 1 as they say or something else?

 
 

Blackjack math question?

How often will you be dealt AA with 6 decks?

Would it be 24/312 (aces/#ofcards) X 23/311 = 97032 / 552 = 175:1 or 1 in 176 hands? I always think that if I place one big bet in bj for all my money and I get dealt AA, I would be in deep trouble.

I’m not sure I’m right so any of you math genius please answer. Thanks.

All these online gambling sites that have casinos such as slots and the virtual horse racing that you can bet real money on do you think its all fixed or totally random? An example Absolute Poker has a casino section with slots and also virtual horse racing are those actually random or fixed? I understand poker they really dont care because they take in the rake. However for those slots, blackjack and virtual horse racing is it random or fixed?

Online casinos normally start the game of blackjack with the players placing their initial bets. Once all wagers are placed, the virtual dealer proceeds to dealing the cards. Online casinos normally start the game of blackjack with the players placing their initial bets. Once all wagers are placed, the virtual dealer proceeds to dealing the cards. Each player is dealt two cards, including the dealer. A “blackjack” is when a player is dealt an initial 2-card hand that produces a 21 as a result of a ten-value card (i.e. a 10, king, queen or jack) combined with an Ace. If a player manages to land such a hand, he wins immediately.

Could you pls explain A “blackjack” is when a player is dealt an initial 2-card hand that produces a 21 as a result of a ten-value card (i.e. a 10, king, queen or jack) combined with an Ace

It would be great if you could put this text in a layman’s language.

 
 

A question for professional blackjack players

If you are playing on a paticular table and you notice that the count stays pretty close to zero. Going up and down just a little. Wouldn’t it reason that even through a shuffle that that the cards would stay close to neutral the next game and you would be better off finding another table. Where there was a bigger swing, so you could place a larger bet? Has anyone noticed that that?

 
 

Couple blackjack question?

As far as I always knew, casinos don’t allow you to split down hands like KQ or J/10….they have to be a pair. I was at the casino last night and my friend told me that the dealer told him that he could split his KQ if he wanted……I had a hard time believing that because if you knew the deck was heavy in tens and aces…..it would give the player a much better chance on splitting them down…especially when the dealer has a crap card. Do you believe my friend misunderstood this, or can you actually split these hands at some casinos? Because I’ve never heard of that.

Also…… I am the kind of player that makes consistent bets, but I walk away when the decks are heavy in small cards. When I’m with my friends I generally like to start at the beginning of the shoe (when the decks are still loaded with tens and aces) and I walk away when I see that the running/true count is getting bad. Do you think this is decent strategy, and also would the casinos consider this to be any kind of card counting at all? I can’t picture it being labelled card counting because I’m not changing my betting pattern according to the count.

I was playing the 5 and 10 tables last night with two friends and we always got out when it was getting bad. I left up 75, next guy 80, and other guy around 200.
rusty: No, at this casino you only get one card when you split ACES. Tens you get as many as you want. And if you see that the running count is extremely good and the dealer has a card like a 5 or 6…..that gives you good odds to split the hand down. But most times I would stay happily on the 20.
I’m just talking about really really good scenarios for a tens split.
and to PDQ: The reason why I’m not adjusting my bet according to the count is because there are cameras on every table and if I was adjusting my bets according to the count….wouldn’t that make it kind of obvious that I’m card counting? The casino has no tolerance for card counters….so I don’t wanna get kicked out.
So what I’m asking is……could I get away with card counting when I’m not adjusting my betting…..but I’m still leaving the table when the count is bad.
