@@Blackjackapprenticeship can you please do a video on double deck virtual blackjack? There is one on draft kings that has an advertised house edge of only 0.21%. The minimum bet is $100 and of course shuffled after each hand. I think I already know what you’ll say but I want to hear it from you anyways lol
I've lost ~18 hands in a row, and won maybe 10 hands in a row. In the short term anything can and will happen, and with sampling bias you could just about prove anything. You will lose on a 20. You will win on a 12. What matters is the long term and math proves that the only winning "strategy" is card counting. Thanks Colin for this excellent video!
The best part is the long-haul math callouts. anyone claiming to offer that high of a win rate is an automatic charlatan. The fact that he's suggesting Martigale betting is the icing. It's such a horrendous betting strategy that it doesn't even warrant you mentioning it because it's so bad it may soil even YOUR reputation! lol. Thanks for the video!

Thankyou for shining a light on these bums. I was silly enough to follow their "99.8%" strategy and ended up losing my entire deposit. Luckily I cashed some out before it happened because I felt like it was too good to be true. But I feel cheated. I will stay away from them moving forward. You got my sub. Is there anything I can do since they basically lied?
Realize you're not that smart if you thought there was a 99.8% winning strategy in blackjack in the first place. You aren't smart. Realizing that would be the best thing you can do for yourself.
I’m not sure if anything is able to be done about what already happened, however try to be more careful online in the future. Fact check things, and make sure there’s not a scam behind whatever you’re reading; nowadays there’s a lot of fake information out there.
No. You learned an expensive but hopefully valuable lesson. I will also say, if you’re punting your full roll on a 98.8% edge promise then you probably shouldn’t be gambling.
It's always good to try something even if it's fake so you can add that to your memory... Download a offline blackjack game and apply them there and see then go to the casino when the minimum lose 100$ then go home and learn again

Martingale doesn’t work, trying to make 100 per day and quitting ahead doesn’t work either. On the 7th day what do you do if you are in a hole from the start? Those two systems I tried destroyed my bank roll
I made an error in watched one of your videos while I was at a casino on their Wi-Fi I immediately got backed off of all comps. Thanks for the advice LOL don't don't use the casinos Wi-Fi and watch your videos.
edit: I'm an idiot, Colin is right. He used 2.8% chance not 3%. I was confused and wrong. I don't know if I can trust your apprenticeship when the odds at 5:30 are all wrong. With a 3% chance of getting struck the odds of getting struck doing it twice is 1-(97^2/100^2)= .0591 or 5.91%. The odds of getting struck if you did it ten times is 1-(97^10/100^10)= .2625 or 26.25%. I can't even begin to understand how you arrived at your numbers.
To determine the odds of dying when running across the road twice, given that the probability of dying each time is 3% (or 0.03), we need to consider the probability of surviving both attempts and then use that to find the probability of dying at least once. 1. **Probability of Surviving Once**: The probability of not dying (surviving) each time is \(1 - 0.03 = 0.97\). 2. **Probability of Surviving Twice**: Assuming the events are independent, the probability of surviving both attempts is: \[ 0.97 \times 0.97 = 0.9409 \] 3. **Probability of Dying at Least Once**: The probability of dying at least once is the complement of surviving both times: \[ 1 - 0.9409 = 0.0591 \] So, the probability of dying when you run across the road twice, given a 3% chance each time, is 0.0591, or 5.91%
Off topic: I'm curious if you have seen the online videos from Mikki Mase you and what you think of the claims he has made concerning money he's won at BlackJack, casinos cheating at BlackJack and his claims to being banned by casinos.
Anyone who believes that 99.8% bum is either desperate or a fool. There’s a reason casinos exist and part of that is the bullshit this guy spreads. Any bloke who wants a crack at winning, you either need a decent betting strategy or commit the time to learn what this guy is gifting you. Personally, I count cards until I drink enough that I can’t maintain accuracy and then I go to a d’Alambert system. Being blackjack is an infrequent pastime that I’d rather profit from but don’t depend on, this works for me. Love your stuff, brother, and I respect you and your team’s talent! Keep up the good content!
All good and everything. But what is the point of counting cards if all casino's are using automatic shufflers. In my little country the few casino's we have use them. So there goes my goal/ dream to be an AP. Correct me if I'm wrong... ( and I do hope so very much) On the other hand I saw the series of Steven Bridges going to the States to counting cards. So there must be some land based casino's with enough deck penatration. Right?
Most casinos in the US don't use CSMs and are beatable. Some games in touristy areas have worse rules (like 6:5) or use CSMs for lower limit tables that make them a waste of time, but there is a lot of opportunity to play the States with good beatable games. The rest of the world can be very hit or miss with decent games.
Russian roulette and running across the street are great metaphors. There's another metaphor that I learned, called picking up pennies on the train track. You will win and gain a little most of the time, but it just takes that one time for the train to hit for you to lose all your winnings and then some.
Is it a good idea to play two spots at the table? I see it all the time. It seems kind of rude at a full table, and I don’t think one could win more money that way
I don’t play martingale. I do have a somewhat unique style of playing. Knock on wood, don’t care if you don’t believe me, I haven’t lost in a session since 2016. I play about 5x per year
Martingales not the best idea but does work with bankroll management and a achievable goal. Learning to accept the lost and walk away to play another day. No one can win every time they walk in but if you limit yourself and lose 5 out of 30 days isnt bad.
I'm enjoying your videos, confirms all of the things I picked up from independent studying, old school casino veritas software simulations, and of course from anecdotal experiences. Perhaps I missed it but I'm not seeing a video where you go into detail about your counting strategy. I tried several but landed on hi opt II with an ASC against 3s and 6s. I used to side count 7s as well but found the scenarios in high counts vs dealer big cards and my 12-14 don't come up nearly enough to make it worthwhile, can still somewhat mentally assess those situations without doing a formal side count. I leverage about 20-30 indices, namely the illustrious 18. I use a 1 to 8 spread and I basically play anywhere except near the black jack hall of fame or MGM properties because the security is too good. Double deck min bet $25 or $50 with 2 hands at any given moment. I have done this for about 10 years and probably only lose 1 in 4 or 5 sessions. At one point I thought I could do this full time but then started getting backed off/flat betted/frequent shoe drops/etc. I guess working as a software engineer is more stable anyway lol
Oof 😂😂😂. I love how serious you can be in this video lmao I couldn’t stop laughing!! 😂😂😂. What’s sad is that everyone probably believes Gambler Casino and there’s a high chance if you find a “professional gambler” aka card counter now, they will say they learned from them 😂😂😂
Martingale, why am I not surprised :) Must be the worst system.. the only system I would conser playing is Dalembert, it feels "safer" then Martingale or Fibonacci
Guys question because you are the best in BJ. If you are playing by a casino and they offer you cash out option. I have 16 vs 10 dealer. Best way is to cash out on long term or hit? Stand is no option in my opinion. Also their is a variant where where all the dubbles and splits are free but 22 bank is a push! I know you don't like variants but is this a bad deal? So 9 10 11 are free Dubble and all pairs split are free also. Only card is 2 problem when they get 10 and 10 for 22 it's a push. I wonder your opinion in this matter thanks already. 😊
The probability of an individual event remains the same every time. It's not that if I got heads on a coin the next time it's more likely that I will get tails. So every time I play a hand of blackjack the probability of me hitting a loss after 5 wins in a row is 2,8% and it doesn't increase if I win more hands. This is the gambler's mindset when playing Roulette for example: "Oh I got red 5 times! Now it's more likely that I'll get black", which is absolutely false. What Colin says is, that you always have to look at the grand scheme, you have to look at an infinite number of events. In the long run this 2,8% probabilty of losing after 5 wins in a row will show up inevitably.
Online Dealer here. I had someone get fully restricted after getting so pissed that their 98% win rate strat won them 0 games in 10 rounds. They were basically snapping at anyone and everyone in player chat that said that doesn't exist otherwise casinos wouldn't run standard blackjack. (table rules were hit s17, 3:2 bj, on spilt on initial 2 cards for anyone curious)
I’ve lost 20 blackjack hands in a row twice. One time included 2 blackjack blackjack ties. I started one session with 14 consecutive losses. Oddly enough, that ended up being a winning session.
Can the martingale system work in a very small deck game, like 1 deck? The rationale being that due to the finite set of cards, the odds of losing every hand in a single deck is low. E.g., if you lose on the first 3/4 of the deck chance are the count is really high on the last segment of the deck.
@@Blackjackapprenticeship I love how one of your friends got nicknamed Loud & Often! What is the story behind it? Did he become so obnoxious that he got you guys backed off?
Nobody can do what i did online for real money one time. I turned 250 into 8k in a week through pure grit and determination. Started with 1 dollar bets. 3 handed. Surrendered 15s and 16s. Never doubled 9s. Never doubled 10 against 10. Never hit 12 vs a dealer 2. I grinded that stratedgy for a week slowly increasing my bets as the bankroll got bigger. Thousands of hands. Was averaging 100 an hour return. I put in the hours. It was real work. I got greedy. Lost it all.
Just watched his video and right after that this video...i was sure what he was saying is not possible as gambler. Any thing possible when playing online blackjack
Has anyone else noticed more 21 combinations lately?? Seems like I have been seeing more lately? Maybe its the shufflers working overtime? The shufflers know when they are missing a card so is it possible that the shuffler stages the card sequence?
I really appreciate this vide and your research your a legend for this ❤️👊🏻 thank you for potentially saving lots of people potentially life changing losses ❤️ absolute legends
So , in order for this technique to work, shall i wait till the summary is positive, or shall i play low till the numbers go positive and then multiply my bet?

I don't know if I can trust your apprenticeship when the odds at 5:30 are all wrong.
With a 3% chance of getting struck the odds of getting struck doing it twice is 1-(97^2/100^2)= .0591 or 5.91%. The odds of getting struck if you did it ten times is 1-(97^10/100^10)= .2625 or 26.25%. I can't even begin to understand how you arrived at your numbers.
To determine the odds of dying when running across the road twice, given that the probability of dying each time is 3% (or 0.03), we need to consider the probability of surviving both attempts and then use that to find the probability of dying at least once.
1. **Probability of Surviving Once**:
The probability of not dying (surviving) each time is \(1 - 0.03 = 0.97\).
2. **Probability of Surviving Twice**:
Assuming the events are independent, the probability of surviving both attempts is:
\[
0.97 \times 0.97 = 0.9409
\]
3. **Probability of Dying at Least Once**:
The probability of dying at least once is the complement of surviving both times:
\[
1 - 0.9409 = 0.0591
\]
So, the probability of dying when you run across the road twice, given a 3% chance each time, is 0.0591, or 5.91%

Colin, do auto shufflers affect the EV for a casual player?
That's a great question. I reckon yes.
It will just lead to more rounds per hour. So if you're playing a negative expectation game, you'll lose a little faster.
Martingales not the best idea but does work with bankroll management and a achievable goal. Learning to accept the lost and walk away to play another day. No one can win every time they walk in but if you limit yourself and lose 5 out of 30 days isnt bad.

I leverage about 20-30 indices, namely the illustrious 18. I use a 1 to 8 spread and I basically play anywhere except near the black jack hall of fame or MGM properties because the security is too good. Double deck min bet $25 or $50 with 2 hands at any given moment. I have done this for about 10 years and probably only lose 1 in 4 or 5 sessions. At one point I thought I could do this full time but then started getting backed off/flat betted/frequent shoe drops/etc. I guess working as a software engineer is more stable anyway lol
Oof 😂😂😂. I love how serious you can be in this video lmao I couldn’t stop laughing!! 😂😂😂. What’s sad is that everyone probably believes Gambler Casino and there’s a high chance if you find a “professional gambler” aka card counter now, they will say they learned from them 😂😂😂
Martingale, why am I not surprised :) Must be the worst system.. the only system I would conser playing is Dalembert, it feels "safer" then Martingale or Fibonacci
Guys question because you are the best in BJ.
If you are playing by a casino and they offer you cash out option. I have 16 vs 10 dealer.
Best way is to cash out on long term or hit?
Stand is no option in my opinion.
Also their is a variant where where all the dubbles and splits are free but 22 bank is a push!
I know you don't like variants but is this a bad deal?
So 9 10 11 are free Dubble and all pairs split are free also. Only card is 2 problem when they get 10 and 10 for 22 it's a push.
I wonder your opinion in this matter thanks already. 😊
The probability of an individual event remains the same every time. It's not that if I got heads on a coin the next time it's more likely that I will get tails. So every time I play a hand of blackjack the probability of me hitting a loss after 5 wins in a row is 2,8% and it doesn't increase if I win more hands. This is the gambler's mindset when playing Roulette for example: "Oh I got red 5 times! Now it's more likely that I'll get black", which is absolutely false.
What Colin says is, that you always have to look at the grand scheme, you have to look at an infinite number of events. In the long run this 2,8% probabilty of losing after 5 wins in a row will show up inevitably.
Who is this Martingale guy..?
Online Dealer here. I had someone get fully restricted after getting so pissed that their 98% win rate strat won them 0 games in 10 rounds. They were basically snapping at anyone and everyone in player chat that said that doesn't exist otherwise casinos wouldn't run standard blackjack. (table rules were hit s17, 3:2 bj, on spilt on initial 2 cards for anyone curious)
The car analogy is kinda flawed (no offense). There's no gain for crossing successfully while betting on the casino means gain and loss
The gain in crossing the road is "successfully crossing the road" because that's our objective
I’ve lost 20 blackjack hands in a row twice. One time included 2 blackjack blackjack ties. I started one session with 14 consecutive losses. Oddly enough, that ended up being a winning session.
Can the martingale system work in a very small deck game, like 1 deck? The rationale being that due to the finite set of cards, the odds of losing every hand in a single deck is low. E.g., if you lose on the first 3/4 of the deck chance are the count is really high on the last segment of the deck.
It never works long run, we discuss it more here: ua-cam.com/video/shD7Smejn1c/v-deo.html
@@Blackjackapprenticeship I love how one of your friends got nicknamed Loud & Often! What is the story behind it? Did he become so obnoxious that he got you guys backed off?
I used this strategy and won $3,800 on a cruise ship last week. Got off the cruise in Mexico and immediately lost $200 (in pesos).
Nobody can do what i did online for real money one time. I turned 250 into 8k in a week through pure grit and determination. Started with 1 dollar bets. 3 handed. Surrendered 15s and 16s. Never doubled 9s. Never doubled 10 against 10. Never hit 12 vs a dealer 2. I grinded that stratedgy for a week slowly increasing my bets as the bankroll got bigger. Thousands of hands. Was averaging 100 an hour return. I put in the hours. It was real work. I got greedy. Lost it all.

I appreciate your videos man and everything I’ve learned from them
Chasing losses is the strategy?? 😂
I watched first 20 seconds of that video and I just quit watching lol. I already knew the video was bs from the start.
Just watched his video and right after that this video...i was sure what he was saying is not possible as gambler. Any thing possible when playing online blackjack
This is the reality of gambling. We just think we can and should win when the math clearly says otherwise. Thank you....
Has anyone else noticed more 21 combinations lately??
Seems like I have been seeing more lately? Maybe its the shufflers working overtime?
The shufflers know when they are missing a card so is it possible that the shuffler stages the card sequence?
I saw the 99.8% and I immediately guessed Martingale. 99.8% winrate is 511/512!
I really appreciate this vide and your research your a legend for this ❤️👊🏻 thank you for potentially saving lots of people potentially life changing losses ❤️ absolute legends
I have seen alot of discutable strategies on their channel. Would not even be surprised if they got paid by a casino to spread missinfo like this...
Requesting a button add to the BJA pro app. Please consider adding dealer push on 22 to simulate free bet shenanigans.
I hope you actually didn't run across the I15 freeway in Las Vegas blindfolded
So , in order for this technique to work, shall i wait till the summary is positive, or shall i play low till the numbers go positive and then multiply my bet?
Kids please take statistics in high school so you don't end up wasting half your life gambling
I attempted to point this out in their comments before and was automatically deleted upon posting. They deserve legal action against them
I like the voice of the other Video. Sounds like no Scam, where can i fill my Credit Card in? 😅
Reset part 😅 next level sarcasm 😂 this is eye opening video. Thank you brother ❤️
I wish you uploaded this a week ago, take this as a testimony i watched that video and lost my entire deposit, that 2.8% caught up to me fast
