    I hit the wrong button before finishing

    Resplit A
    Double any 2 cards

    To a competent counter, what is the 100% deck deal result in?

    If they would deal 100% of the cards out and allow you to spread you would and should beat that game 7 days a week and twice on Sunday's .Even with 6/5 on BJ............................

    This game is being dealt at Treasure Bay in Biloxi with $5 min, $500 max. How would you play it?

    4 to 1 spread

    If you are using a multi level count using a 4 to 1 spread with all the cards dealt out will beat that game.If you are using a simple +1 -1 count you will need at least 5 or 6 to 1 spread Hope that helps answer your question.

    I am using +-1 count. At what count do you think the bet should be increased? Even a 10-1 spread does not appear to be a problem. Thanks for your help!!! :)

    10-1 spread in a one deck game is not a problem with all the cards being dealt out.What am i missing here :confused:

    Bet Spread

    True count of +4 or higher if you are going to go to 8 units or more.

    Real?

    Is this game for real?
     
  9. Slow down guys...

    first, remember this is a 6-5 game. If the table is full, they are only dealing two rounds before they would have to reshuffle in the middle of dealing out the third round. You are playing at a big disadvantage on that first round and would need at least a +3 to +4 true count at the start of the second round to even have a little bit of an advantage on that round. Now, if you are playing heads up or maybe with one or two other players, then there will be opportunities on a game that deals to the last card. What the dealer does with those cards that are left on the table after the pack in the dealer's hand is finished and she's reshuffled the discards is the key to, if and just how much this game can be exploited. That's about as much detail as I want to go into on an open board.

    The cards that are on the table at the end of the deck are left there. The remaining deck is shuffled & cards are then dealt exactly to where they ran out.
     
  11. But then...

    are those cards all shuffled together again after that hand, or do they just continue dealing from the pack minus the cards that were on the table from the previous pack??

    They just keep dealing. They always deal until they are out of cards, then shuffle mid-game and keep going. I don't know whether they burn a card or not.
     
  13. If that's the case...

    then there are huge opportunities on that game depending on what cards are left on the table on that last hand of the deck. May be worth a trip down there. ;)

    Only the cards in the discard tray are shuffled. One card is burned. Then they start dealing where they left off.

    Doesn't the fact that they don't reshuffle at the end of the round where they needed to reshuffle allow for some serious end play advantages? As Thorp said in his book?

    Please describe the end play advantages of which you are speaking. I am not knowledgable of how to do it.
     
  17. Springbac...

    what Canuck mentions, is what I was alluding to. I don't want to get too specific on a public board but if you send me a private message I would be more than happy to explain it to you.

    I replied to your private message.
