Hmmmm......
You really need to learn a count strategy. With the amount of times you go to the casino it will really pay off for you.
I have learned pretty much all of the decent ones. Have pretty much just used the Ken Uston counts for the most part. I actually met Ken a few times. But the odd thing is that it wasn't Blackjack that ever really brought us together to meet.
It was......Pac-Man........
That's where I met him in AC many, many, many years ago.
That's where I met him in AC many, many, many years ago. Here are a couple of level one counting systems that will kick things off for you. After you learn these you may want to go to a level 2 count that will be a bit more powerful. But some people find for the extra amount of time they have to put into a level 2 count, the level 1 works just as well.
It doesn't work as well, but if you make errors on the level 2, you should stay with the level 1.
Here are two great ones to start out with.
Blackbelt in Blackjack. Arnold Snyder has his Red7; count in here. That's the one you will key on. In fact the Hi-Lo is slightly better in one and two deck games, but you won't find these at many casinos.
Knock Out Blackjack. Now this is one I think is very easy for someone that has never used a count before. BTW, Arnold isn't very fond of this system. He claims the authors of KO didn't set up correct test for the system. That's why they claim it beats the Red 7.
If you decide to go with the Red7, it would be a good idea to use the advanced version.
Personally I use the Uston SS count. It is a level 3 unbalanced count. A side note is that Arnold Snyder worked with Ken Uston on this. Although I believe that Snyder was used more as a consultant after Uston devised the count. That was the last count I have used in Casinos. There have been some since, but I still stick with this one.
Man, I wish Ken would of gotten his stuff together personally, so he was still with us today.
