This was a great video to practice with I kept the running count to myself and got almost all of it right but if I was wrong I went back and see where I miss counted thanks!!
At 5:23, when you were dealt the 2 Aces and split; why did the dealer only deal 1 card (sideways) rather than play each like their own individual hand. You did not double up, so is this a rule that you were playing for this particular game or was this a miss deal?
Sure, I will make sure to add it in next video. Quick question about calculating true count. So, do you not divide running count / total decks left in the shoe? Knowing deck penetration makes different true count?
can someone explain the true count because i knew it was the running count divided by the estimation decks used, but at the beginning it already turns out to be 0.2, 0.3 ... How does it work?
Noted. So, when a true count is over 2, playing 2 hands is more advantageous to a player than playing 1 hand? How about between playing 2 hands and 3 hands when a true count is over +2? Thank you for your info. If that is better way of playing, I will try playing this way in next video!
@@simplegambler6944 it is better to pay two hands or three hands when the true count is a plus 2 or more that is why the dealer was gets a lot of 20 and 21 bc when the count is high it doesnt guarantee that u will win but the chances are higher thats why playing more then 1 hand is helpful

stefanos if you play only one hand at high counts, you’re sharing more of the high cards with the dealer. You want to spend the high cards on the player. It becomes a “strength in numbers” scenario. Ask any professional blackjack advantage player what their preference is on high counts, they will say more than one hand. And if the dealer has a blackjack you can cancel it half the time with insurance. On top of that, if there is surrender, you can turn what would be a push in basic strategy- to a profit with index plays such as surrendering a 14 and doubling a ten vs dealer ten. But most of all, you aren’t giving the opportunity to the dealer to have a bigger share of the high cards and you can also mitigate table max bets by playing two hands at max bet. As a card counter, there is no way you can convince me to only play single handed when the count rises past +2. Show me some literature of where this concept is supported in the blackjack community please, because you seem very sure of yourself.

I see you betting 75 at +1+ and 50 at +1+ why is this? What is your spread?
Good video, but why did you ignore the cut card? It was a jack, so ur count started at d1, not 0.
You are supposed to ignore it if you don’t see it. Most dealers don’t show the burn card
Great video

when u split aces u can only receive one csrd
Ya you only get 1 card when you split aces. All other splits are different
Plz add deck penetration value too that will hep to calculate TC

Why is the dealer at 7:19 keeps drawing cards even if he got a 13 over your 12
I think theres a rule where the dealer has to deal up to a certain number but I’m not sure
The dealer must draw until they have at least 17
@@unaitamosinas582116 and it varies on ruleset for if the dealer continues a soft 17 or not if I am mistaken please correct me.

You are very close! True count is the running count divided by estimated decks remaining in the shoe, not the decks already used.
Ohhh
Why you not buying insurance if the count is mad positive
You might know this hype now but in case you dont
Insurance is a buy only at a true count 3+ the RC was 4 and the TC was only like 1.5
why are you not playing 2 hands when u have a true count over 2

Got it! It is very helpful. I will play this way next time! Thank you :)

Using my system I made $1,437.50! 😀
What sample size?
Well I just played the hands in my head without card counting and pretty much did what you did. So what's the point in counting lol
Knowing when to raise or lower the bets
deal faster its slow even in 2x speed
