  • In this Blackjack Card Counting Challenge we will be dealing to Professional Blackjack Card Counters and 1 Amateur Gambler. Can you follow along and keep the count yourself? Will the gambler's strategy prove to be more profitable than the Card Counters strategy at the table by the end? At the beginning of each round we'll give you the running count and see how well you did.

    This was so entertaining! I'm not necessarily asking for anything, but it would be nice if you make those type of videos every once in a while (like few times a year) 🙂 also, I was looking for a not that aggressive bet spread, I guess I already found a 1-6 one 😅 also, since I started learning basic strategy and counting about a month ago (I don't spend that much time training a day, like 15/20 minutes) I decided to try keeping the running count on my own from the 2nd hand (I got the idea after the 1st one): I messed up twice, which is obviously very bad, but at least it was right on the 2nd hand because I got distracted and another very chaotic one. But yeah, all of that too say that it was very entertaining and also super useful, this is the first time I'm actually able to see the speed of an IRL game (I know it can vary a lot, but still), great video! 💪

    • @adamtank8819
      @adamtank8819 Рік тому +2

      You can't beat the game with a 1-6 spread if the penetration is 1.5 decks. You need around a 1-20 spread (2 spots) to have good EV and a lower N0.

    • @adamtank8819
      @adamtank8819 Рік тому

    I've realised that is much easier than I thought. I noticed that when you are not counting every card individually, it's so much easier. In addition, by just thinking of the number, not the calculation itself. You have enough time for the rest.

  • @72guitarguy
    @72guitarguy Рік тому +15

    Colin I love your content BUT it would be cool to see this with a ploppy playing perfect basic strategy and not doing things like splitting 5s of the jump. I know the counters would likely still prevail but the ploppy could have a positive variance streak that would make it interesting. I just think it'd be a better comparison, anyways thanks again for the great content!

    Echoing the sentiment that this was a great format. I'd like to see this more frequently. Some suggestions for improvement: A better view of the deck/discard so we can play along with estimating true count. Also I like the periodic updates on running count but it could be a cool way to use the annotations or a special closed caption in the video so that the count is always available updated to the most recent hand.

    Remember guys, card counting does work you need a good bank roll, and you will lose hands but that’s where you need to place the appropriate bet. It’s all about generating positive EV and it’s a long term game. I won my last few sessions of blackjack but the time is just as much as a pro poker game. I play poker most of the time now. I every once in awhile play blackjack. But when I do I go with a solid bank roll and play strictly with counting. Lastly stay humble and stay focused no matter how fun it is if you lose the count please get off the table!!

Watching this again taught me a lot about what you were doing and when and why. I think I need to learn strategy now and keep practicing counting and see if i can do both at once. rofl.

    I lost last time I went to the casino and I was very discouraged and I started questioning if somehow I was counting the cards wrong. After being able to keep up with the count all the way through this video, it gave me my confidence back that I am at least not messing up the running count. I find it kind of hard to tell how many decks are left though and even how many are discarded at casinos. Maybe I'm messing up the true count idk. Great video though! Will come back to practice before next trip to casino.

    • @geoffpearce889
      @geoffpearce889 Рік тому +4

      The fluctuation in just one shoe of play was very mild. I have run simulations for given rules and conditions and the sims show that you need a very large bankroll into the many thousands to achieve a certain risk of ruin. This is because losing streaks can go on for months where you lose and lose and it can make you wonder if you are doing everything right.
      It’s interesting to note that the two card counting players had outcomes where one lost and the other won, and this demonstrates that anything can happen in the short term. It’s quite possible that if more shoes were dealt, one could go on having winning hands while the other loses big time and yet each player played correctly, apart from having different bet sizing. It can take hundreds of rounds of play before your results get close to the EV of the game.
