Atlantic City Blackjack
Borgota is the best blackjack in A.C. by far. Mostlly 6 deck with auto shuffle and hand shuffle. (not continuous shuffle) 5 10 and 15 dollar tables usually available. They won't raise the table minimums as long as you continue to play. Good ru…

buy in
I like to play with 40x the table minimum. That should keep you in the game for awhile and help weather those negitive runs should they pop up.I will usually buy in with 20 units ($200.) and keep the rest in reserve.

Foxwoods Casino
N&B What is the correct play of late surrender in Conn. They don't offer it in A.C. My Wife and I are planning a trip up there on the 20th of this month. We plan on hitting Foxwoods and M.S Thanks J.C.

APOLOGIES T0 ALEX
Alex, I find your post very interesting. I think I am going to practice with it a little then give it a test drive down at the casino. One question though, How often do you win with this system at the BJ tables? What about your last 10 sessions? How…

small trip report
Just got back from vacation at the Jersey Shore. We spent our last day at A.C and of course we got a free room. Have'nt been to the casino since Jan. It really feels good to sit at the tables again. I played (3) sessions total while the wife pl…

ALEX I AM CALLING YOU OUT
It seems to me that we should let another board member who believes that this system works, put it to a test, real play at the casino and report back with the results. Maybe, just maybe he may have a winning system. After all thats why we are all he…

HEY FOLKS LET'S LIVEN UP THIS BOARD!
This past January my wife and I took a Cruise on the Carnival which left out of Florida. Needless to say once you get out into neutral waters the ship casino is open for business. My wife likes to play the slots only because she feels a little intim…

5 deck auto shuffler
Counting cards will do you no good with the auto shuffle. The only thing you can count is whats showing. If you have alot of babie cards showing chances are the next one out of the shoe is likely to be a ten or vice versa.

Players Cards: Should they be used?
I play in A.C and use a players card. I don't know of any kind of point system based on wins and loses. I do know that you are rated on the amount of your average wager and also on the amount of time you play. I have asked the pit boss for din…

THE 1-2-3-5 POSITIVE PROGRESSION
progressionist I use a 1-2-3-4 prog. and I always stay with (4 units) out while I am winning. After all, when the cards are going your way you want to have the money out on the felt. If you make it through your progression you will be up (11 units) …

Even Money?
Maybe those kind of players have the right idea. After all you have almost a 50/50 chance of winning your one hand. I have seen the same thing myself, (1) large bet then gone. I bet you the eye in the sky is checking those guys out! I think I'…

Even Money?
Jrzalman IMHO as a BS player you should never take even money or insurance. Most all the times you would be throwing your money away. I don't know how many times I've sat at the tables only to see some player insist on buying insurance on…

Progression Math
Sage, Ive read your post (5) times and still can't understand what you are doing. I also use Walt's progression and have had great success with it. I am also experimenting with different ways to lock in profits mainly by using a negitive p…

on win goals & loss limits
Fred- Let me play with your riddle and see what I can figuar out. In my style of play which is a 50% win limit on my session play and naturally 100% loss on my session play. In other words I will put at risk my entire buy in for a chance at a 50% re…

on win goals & loss limits
Desert Dog- From your last post if you add up your wins you are still 17 for 22. In my book thats a damn good record for BJ. You had a losing streak but thats inevitable, its going to happen to everyone who plays over time, thats why its called gamb…

KISS III 5,000 hands
There seems to be as many counting systems as there are progressions! Where can I go to learn this kiss 111 system and is it fairly easy to master?

Latest technology to identify card counters
Anybody- If you are spotted (by the eye in the sky) and are considered a card counter, will the casinos in L.V. escort you to the " big front door"? From what I understand about A.C. they cannot ask you to leave, however the dealer is inst…

Dealer error...how should it be handled?
D.Dog- Iwas once playing in A.C when the dealer thought she busted on 5 cards and payed me (5 units) I believed her and did not say anything. She then realized she made a mistake and called over the pit boss. The pit boss asked me what I had up for …

calling other progression betters
ndlarryj- I also use a progression (2-1-2-3-4-5-etc.) and back to the beginning after a lost. And of course basic stradegy. My win % so far is 6 for 7. I only get to play about every other month. Hope to change that soon. As far as your question abo…

Question for Walter
Desert dog- Thanks for your input. There are times when you go over your win % and dont realize it, it is at that point that I always get out right away. I believe I'll try your way next time of playing down to 150% It can't hurt and maybe…

Question for Walter
I also believe in the progression system, it has been working well for me so far. I'am curious as to your win % with your system. Do you keep a record of it? Also, any thoughts on proper bankroll size and money management. For example I sit at…
