  5. Some questions about the blackjack tips

    in BeatTheCasino.com Q and A Baccarat and Blackjack

    wow that's something i have never heard before.. the clumping idea is really interesting. i don't understand exactly how the cards can clump with the dealer shuffling cards so many times (or the machine shuffler).

    One reason i think people lose so much to the casino is because a lot of idiots have no idea what they're doing at the table (eg chicken hitters)... they're just people playing for fun, they have no intent of working to win, they just want to have some fun with friends and maybe get lucky... these same idiots are the ones pulling the levers at slot machines, feeding money into the casino.

    All of these are from "E. Clifton Davis's 10 BJ Tips"

    1. Play New Cards! Yeah, I know, every BJ book in the world says stay away from new cards for 2 hours. And it was true 20 years ago. You are not playing yesteryears cards. You’re playing today’s cards. Today, your biggest BJ enemy is dealer favorable biases. New cards have no bias. They are the best cards you will see all day. Now you know my biggest secret how I beat A.C. every day for 3 years of full time play. I played new cards almost exclusively.

    What are "new cards"? Does that mean when the casino opens up a new pack of cards? cause i have never seen this.

    3. How many players are in the game? The more players in the game the more the odds favor the casino. Your best game is head to head. You can’t beat a 7 player game. You might as well just give them the money!

    I have heard this in other places. Why do your odds go down with more players?

    6. Know how to insure! When the card before the dealer’s hole card was a ten, insure! You will be right more than half the time and it pays 2 to 1. That one tip is worth thousands and nobody knows it.

    What the hell? How can you base the dealer's hole card on the previous card? How does the card before it have ANY effect on the fact that there is a 4/13 chance that the card underneath is a 10?

    7. Don’t split! You don’t have a good hand. You’ve got a terrible hand. Why would you want to bet twice as much money on it? Splits lose overall.

    Is this a joke? Basic strategy includes plenty of splits. It makes a shitload more sense to split 2 8's againsts a 6 and change your 8s into 18s than just keep (or hit and bust) a 16.

    8. Don’t Count! Yeah, yeah, I know what you’ve heard. Look, it doesn’t win today. Today, casinos know exactly how to beat counters. They want you to count.

    Am i the only one that doesn't buy this for one second? Counting creates an edge over the casino over thousands of hands that leads to winning. Counting is not outdated.

    9. Don’t play with chicken hitters! Don’t complain, just leave. Chicken hitters give the game to the dealer. Might as well tie a bow on it.

    I HATE when people complain about what other people do.

    WHO CARES? Hypothetically. The Dealer has a 16 and the last player at the table has a 16. The player decides to hit... He gets a 10 and busts and gives the dealer a 5. THERE IS THE EXACT SAME chance that he hits and the second card is a 10.

    10. Hit when LOWS are running, Stand when HIGHS are running. Look, the dealer can’t break on low cards. She breaks on high cards.

    Running? Does this go by the logic that high cards stick together in a deck and lows stick together? Are you kidding me?
