  1. The blind fold question… doesnt really apply if the guys smart enough to do it on his own private road that's closed to the public and gated. Can run back and forth all day everyday dude will be fine. Gotta think about stacking that deck to win any bet.

  2. The concept of EV is overblown IMO. Sure, EV is incredibly important but it's worth nothing if you can't play with a reasonable RoR, and you may never even realize your EV if the N0 of the game you're playing is through the roof. I can think of one game in particular (not mentioning names) where the edge is about 2 or 3 %, better than BJ but the N0 is so high most people stay away from the game entirely and would rather play BJ despite the EV being lower because they're more likely to realize their equity.

  3. How can counting cards be a reliable source of income knowing that you have to stay under the radar every minute that you play? Wouldn’t the casino catch you before the long run occurs?

  4. WoW, never have played on a 6to5 payout BJ table but I just saw the differences
    of odds to the house between a 6/5 & 3/2 >> NEVER Do it…… bad play

  5. A local casino offers a double deck game that only allows double on 9-11 and DAS 9-11. The house edge for this game is 0.7%. Can this game be beaten with a standard bet spread?
