Lol, cya mate

Next time, maybe do a little homework and see what is acceptable on a new forum before you post anything questionable, other than an introduction.

Back to Basics--ANYTHING ELSE IS BOGUS!

Here is a thread I started nearly 3 years ago. My knowledge and experience playing Blackjack spans over 30 years. I started in the early 82 when you could still find plenty of Single Deck games with optimal rules--even though the Pitt was constantly looking for any player who knew how to exploit them.

On the Strip, the 4 Deck and Double Deck games were in some places still like taking candy from a baby. With each successive trip to Las Vegas, (and I was going about twice a month on average) it never failed that I would see where what had previously been a good or GREAT game that had been turned into an inferior game. By 1984, the 4 Deck shoe was all but gone and 6 Decks was the norm.

Single decks were fewer and fewer and the casinos made CERTAIN nobody got play at anything less than a full table for any length of time.

Deck penetration deteriorated everywhere--regardless of the number of decks. Then they decided 6 decks weren't enough and the 8 Deck shoes (already common in Atlantic City) began to pop up everywhere.

Finally, the dreaded Continuous Shoe debuted. The Shuffle Master "King." 6 Decks placed in that monstrosity of a contraption with the cards placed in the right back in the machine after EVERY single hand. Bellagio was and still is the singular place that went from Prime conditions in it's first two years to the poorest conditions anywhere by 2002---unless you were playing $100 - $500 a hand minimum.

Still--with skill and diligence--Blackjack is the ONLY casino table game that can be beaten over the long-term with a slight edge over the house. With the highest skill set in the most prime conditions you may gain 1% over the house. .3 to .5% is much more likely and only if you know where and how to play.

So, I am once again posting the link to the thread I started shortly when I was still relatively new to CM.

Not quite. You are able to gain a huge edge against the house on baccarat with edge sorting technique worth 6.765% for the player. I doubt there are not so many people who are good in this though. Its as legal or non legal as card counting, depending on peoples views.
