Nobody Can Beat BJ Without Card Counting
I love gambling as much as anyone. If you apply mathematics to gambling in bj and use counting systems, such as those in The Wizard Of Odds by Micheal Shackleford (hope I spelled it right , the House (casino) still has a .13 plus percentage advantage at a minimum (assuming the house reshuffles the deck every hand). In a land based casino, you have the opportunity to play in casinos with one shoe ( card deck) and multiple shoes (up to eight card decks) based on Nevada and Atlantic City Gaming Regulations. The kenundrum is this: No US land based casino shuffles every hand that I know of (this can give players an advantage!), which Microgaming blackjack doesn't. Thus, since we all know that tens and better appear most in a 52 card deck, if one even used a rudementary counting system, one would narrow this to even money or better proposition. Point of fact; based on current gaming rules at casinos using Microgaming, there is NO WAY TO COUNT CARDS OR BEAT THE HOUSE. I hate to say this, since I love Microgaming software, but even Price Wastehouse Coopers can't look at the casinos claimed payouts or look at the software (on the backend like actually reviewing a paper trail versus taking a casinos words for what they pay; ie remember Willie Nelson went bankrupt under their auditors, lol) and they are supposed to be AUDITORS. This reminds me of potentially Enron hiring Arthur Anderson to exclaim they are fair and then cooking the books potentially. And we all know this corporation went down the shitter with the auditor.) Lucky streaks with black jack are more important on the internet. So if you are psychic, like Yuri geller (not because he backs Michael jackson and claims he loves kids platonically), then you can't win over the long term. My advice, have fun, drink beer, and cash in while you are ahead. So cut the crap and get this good: If you play BJ with Micrograming play for fun, not to win in the long term as I do. Gambling is my hobby, Cogito ergo sume!
