System 40 Questions I've taken a break but am now getting ready ready for a few days in Vegas. Questions: 1. In the Sys 40 manual, 5+s aren't counted. Why? 2. In the sample game on the last page, 3s are most common (if I remember correctly) but you lost to every one (confirmed and unconfirmed). With real money, would you try to win all the MC as well as lose to the LC?

I didn't try to bet, just played off the tote.

After a wash, BP got its chop back. No 4+s, ZZs of 10 and 7. +52 with Sys 40 U1D2M2. Anybody play it for real? P1111232111321 P1131111122321 P211111111122212 B112311211112111

Well, BP got its chop back. After a wash, no 4+s, 4 3s, zzs of 10 and 7. +52 with Sys 40 U1D2M2. Hope somebody played it for real!

Short shoes again. Having problems at BPH. How come they never reject my losing bets? I wonder how real time the game is. Watching a shuffle, the picture cut to the cards all in the shoe. Would've taken a least a minute.

Current game 18 6 0 0 14 ZZ to start! But bet clock is screwed up again and won't take my bets. HMMMM? Ok after awhile. Gotta go, current 30 14 4 4. Realized could have played F3 theu entire shoe ande cleaned up big time.

Thanks, Wolfman, but I still don't get why the one particular shoe you're playing is governed by statistics which are only meaningful in the long run. Would you bet against a run of 8 because it only occurs one time in 8 shoes and one just occurred in the last shoe? Or would you play what's happening right now? I guess I could understand If we're playing the odds over a large number of shoes.

Has anyone else noticed that lately 3s are either very low or high, usually low?

That's what I figured, but they could be a little nicer to their customers, maybe a "sorry" in there somewhere.

I've started getting the following message after not betting (6 hands this time) "You have been kicked out of the game." Not very cordial!

I tried to post it using Hog's explanation-couldn't get it in my album. I could email it to you if you give me your address. I started on P at play 9 because it won 4 of the last 5. I used RD because I had seen the whole shoe already. Also, Mark said he usually starts with RD, didn't want to use OTB4l because of possible ZZ, 40 didn't look so hot (although it got hot). I suppose F2 could've been a choice starting on P but the result would be the same, going to RD after the P run from play 14-19.

1. I still don't completely understand using only weighted event counts. E.g., with a SAP count of 6 10 20 8 the conventional wisdom is to bet 2s will go to 3. But there have been an equal number of 2s and 3s, 5 each. So why is it more likely 2s will go to 3 in THIS PARTICULAR SHOE, in which they're running equal, and which shoe doesn't know or care what the normal occurrences are in the long run? 2. When counting 1s, 2s 3s and 4s does anybody have an opinion as to whether it makes a difference whether they are Ps or Bs. E.g., if only, or mostly, Ps have been 3s, would you be less likely to bet on B going to 3?

This shoe at BPH scored +47 from play 9 with RD straight through Wish I played it! What happened to chop? B33111111161 B3112215221 P331114331 P39212

How about at the beginning of this thread?

Will I never ger even?
