I like how the losing system actually works in a simulation of play, while in actual play the martingale would have been a terrible loss. Great video, except for the splitting tens 4 times, I could not see what the last card was to update my running count.
Ehh. Martingale does work. Just casino or total cash on hand limits the player. So you’ll see it work plenty. Just eventually the luck runs out and the odds favor the casino.
@@matthewalle2 The only way martingale works is, if you have infinite cash reserves, but even then its ridiculous, because what good is winning 1 dollar when you have infinite cash
There were 49 cards in the discard tray plus 8 on the table when Loudon Ofton surrendered 8,8 vs 10. He was correct, but I love how Colin and $D1 paused for a second. It shows just how strict you are and how important an accurate deck estimation is.
I don't play for long hours. I'm a hit and run guy. I play $200 min a hand and try to be done before the 3rd shoe. I employ a reverse progressive, but my increments are half bet sizes. So win the first, next hand is $300, then $400. After $400 I jump to $600 and after $600 I jump to $800 and stay for one additional hand. Then I finally get to $1,000 and max out at $1,400. Just not comfortable going any higher. I know my system is not +EV but it works for me and allows me to make a decent number or minimize a loss. I show up with $3,000 and if I lose I'm done.
I'm over here keeping the count with the game and 10:52 I was blocked by the card disposal yelling at the game WHATS THE CARD, TELL ME THE CARD!! Lol. Then Colin immediately asks the count and I'm a deer in headlights because I'm cut off at 15😂
I think these types of videos are really helpful, watching full games with running count marked. Really helps the engagement of the video, makes it fun to pause the video and check the count along.
Honestly this made me want to get myself a blackjack table and a good set of chips just to deal for friends. Looks real fun to just play some cards without stakes :)
Keep making these videos!!!!! Its great practice and its really fun to keep the count and basically backcount! First time today i was able to follow a full show while keeping the count at all times although i spent 0 seconds thinking on playing decisions but still progress.
That’s why he said it works until it doesn’t work, I’ve racked up 1500 with 50 dollars via online using martingale and other times 500 here 600 there, martingale works until it doesn’t, and the splits and Bjs along the well help to add more $$$
I would love to see this all over again with only one caveat: three different betting styles with only one set of cards. So, you have everybody do their bedding strategy, but only play to “one player” so we can actually truly see how they compare with the exact same cards.
Martingale is idiotic. Betting a lot to gain a little is not a sound stategy. Small "wins" in a session until the inevitable streak bankrupts you. You hear "Martingale" you run.
These are great videos and challenges me to keep that running count! Just for your viewers who are keeping count, maybe ask the table what the RC after every 3rd or 4th hand instead of asking after one deal round
I reverse martingale bet and if I double I’ll keep the winnings and start over I don’t keep doubling. I did this one night and made $590 off $90 buy in with $25-$75 bets in the matter of 10 minutes and went home lol
The best way to do this would be to run it with the same cards and the same shoe. If the cards run out differently, it can make a big difference. If one method gets more splits, doubles, blackjacks, etc it will affect the outcome.
Thanks for the video. A good practice session for me 😎 And my outcomes are usually like Loudon Ofton's at 1st base 😆 And there were some awesome counts too. Oh well 🤷♂️
Hi, I want to ask you a question😄 Why does basic strategy never allow to split a couple of 10s against a dealer's bad hand (3 through 5 let's say)? Wouldn't that make more money in the long run, since it's likely that the dealer busts and it has the potential to earn you double the money? 🤔
Because splitting 10’s will not make more money in the long run. Only when the count is very high does it become advantageous to split 10’s, and only when the dealer has certain cards.
It only works to show a true difference if all three betting systems used the same hand. But this video was fun to watch how luck can be great on any given shoe.
Great video. I don't plan on counting cards. But, after the hands were dealt, I would pause the video and compare my decision/knowledge of basic strategy to the chart and see how I did.
NEWB QUESTION ALERT! i’ve been practicing a lot at home and recently had an opportunity to go to a casino and check out the blackjack tables, i knew i would most likely lose money cuz i just wanted to see if i could keep the count and check out shuffling or penetration etc, i noticed the discard tray was super tall and i have to believe it was an 8 deck tray, but during the shuffling process, the dealer used the discard tray to line up all the cards perfectly even before putting them in the shoe, when all the decks were in the discard tray, there was about a two deck gap.. which is more likely? a casino to be using 8 deck discard trays but only 6 decks in a shoe or my estimations on either discard tray size or number of decks to be off!? any help is appreciated, thank you much!
To be absolutely sure, do a count where you count every single card +1. If the cut was about 2 decks deep, then if your total count at the end is about 312 (6 decks = 52 * 6 = 312 cards) you have 8 decks total for the shoe.
I don´t really understand the reverse martingale. Like what if there would be no limits? You would just double it until you loose and be at the beginig??
This is incredibly helpful. I started by dealing out a deck of cards knowing I should and with a count of 0, then I started dealing them out two at a time to count, but then I needed to increase the difficulty. This gives the perfect practice because I can practice keeping the count while also trying to implement proper strategy. Very encouraging
Hey Colin, how different is basic strategy on an H17 game vs an S17 game? Also, what rules give the player the greatest possible advantage (and does that correspond with the bja basic strategy sheet)?
Im not colin but i would say .....always 2-3 for bjs.. stand soft 17.... surrender available..... no continuous automatic Schufflers!!!! Six deck is definitely better than eight deck… I think two deck is the best odds maybe? And single deck with these rules would be great too,right? Although on single deck, you can't double ever-also no Michaud entry is great I prefer it
The BJA strategy chart is made to work with both H17 & S17 and iirc is very slightly suboptimal for both, but it was made that way with the intent for people to learn 1 BS chart and make up the difference by learning the counting deviations chart for the game they are playing
hey I noticed the basic strategy chart on the black jack apprenticeship site is different than others, and I also noticed that a lot of basic strategy charts vary from each other? is there multiple correct basic strategy charts you can follow?
Basic strategy chart depends on what the rules of the casino are, such as if the dealer hits on a soft 17 or not. Blackjack apprenticeship site shows a hybrid chart that works decently for most rules, but ideally you should use a chart specifically designed for the rules of your casino.
4:50 In blackjack, knowing that next card 7 apparently has a slight positive EV; even though a starting hand of 18 is a slight negative EV. I calculate the expected EV to be 2.7%, but in practice I'd probably still play it at table minimum; 9TA are the only starting cards I'd put big money behind. In baccarat, I'd give it a better value; banker bet is a huge +EV on that one. It's funny, a 7 first card for player is -$10.30 but for banker its +$26.28!
Why would you double your bet every time you win? You're constantly putting your profits at risk and then when you lose a hand you lose all profits. When would you stop doubling?
Question about 7:35 I know the book says to hit with 12. But since the true count is like~ +2, shouldnt the move according to basic theory be to stand with 12 against dealer 5?
@@Blackjackapprenticeship Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated. What I can't figure is, you guys are professional card counters and still hit 12 against a dealer 3/4/5. And according to the book, always stand against 13/14/15/16 (most of the time at least). Does this mean that in true gameplay, 12 against a dealer 3/4/5 is not 'that' bad? I mean- you guys are pros. You gotta know more about it than me, an amateur.
I just started learning to count a few days ago, and I'm able to keep up with the running count on this video nearly perfectly. I'm extremely excited to hone this skill and hopefully reap the rewards.
I need help on what to do after we know the dealer doesn't have blackjack after the insurance option. I feel I should change the standard basic strategy chart at this point, but can't find any information on what to do at this point. Should I still hit a 16 when we know they don't have the 10?
I'd like to see you run the same deck same order twice. First time 3 players playing well and by the book. Second time where 1 person some times splits 10s hits 16 against dealer 5 type player. And see what all 3 players chips do between the 2 shoes.
I live almost literally next door to a place that runs blackjack. No pit boss or anything. The min bet is $3 and the max is $25. What is the theoretical max I could make per hour?
Reverse martingale... doubling your bet until a loss. Wtf is the point of that? Obviously at some point youll lose a hand, so even if you won 10 in a row, and are up a ton, you WILL give it back, Just based on your betting scheme...
I was watching at 1.5 speed trying to keep track of the count. I was off by 1. Is that good enough? Also one card got dealt off the screen on the far left and I could not see it 10:26. You can split any two ten value cards? Jacks and Kings?
I'm definitely proud of myself. I was 100% accurate with the running count and my true count was great as well, although it was my first time trying to estimate how many decks are left.
Reverse martingale isn’t what they are doing because you can never win with this method Reverse would be bet $100 and then if you lose do $50. If you lose do $25 etc. then go back to $100
It is a reverse because a standard martingale, you increase your bet after losing. This is doing the same thing but you increase your bet when you win instead. And vice versa for when you decrease bets with each strat.
It seems like youre purposely creatjng a high count (back below a true one; not for long) so of course the martingale strategy is going to work. Its just betting a lot of money. Put her on a table with a negative count where the counters know to hold back and she's still progressive betting and it'll be very different.
Nothing was intentional it was just how the shoe ran. It's all for fun and we can't learn anything of value from a shoe's worth of cards anyway. Anyone who's paying attention knows progressive betting i's a losing system, but anyone can win one shoe.
Reverse Martingale is a completely worthless betting system. At least regular Martingale is useful in certain situations. For example, I was in a casino and needed to raise some more money to do an actual +EV play, so I played baccarat for 20 minutes and successfully raised the money by using martingale betting, knowing that the odds of losing 12 times in a row and hitting the max bet limit were miniscule (though it would eventually happen if I were dumb enough to Martingale all day long).
Actually you can include the cards on the table as well because although they're not in the discard tray, you have counted them, except for the hole card. So 54 cards
Hello. I'd love to join BJA program but in my country, the casinos I have seen so far are all using CSMs. Do you have like a closed group information on what casinos in Southeast Asia are using non-csm? Countries like Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand? Thank you
Colin I love the vids man ❤. But how can I count along with you guys whenever the guy splits tens into the dis-card tray 😂. I’m taking wild guess at this point lol.
10:30 I LITERALLY jumped out of my seat seeing the dealer busted and I was happy acting like I WON that hand. I was keeping the count and would’ve played it the same way, fck all the heat that comes with it HOLLYY. I know the pitboss would start charging at me after the bust card shows up
The person doing min max used playing variations (splitting 10,10 vs 6) but the normal counter did use playing variations (dont hit a 16 with a count of 1 or more).
Reverse Martingale guarantees you lose. By doubling every time you win, you guarantee that when you finally lose a hand that you give back all your winnings. Makes zero sense.
4:47 If the dealer takes a hit by mistake, the Nevada Gaming Commission does not allow the casino to run back the exposed cards. In these cases, the player is usually given a push (instead of a loss), and then the players are offered a new shuffle if they desire.
why dont you eliminate the randomness of the cards being deal to each player, by having them all play the same hand, -- then you are testing the different systems against each other for the same hands dealt.. (wouldbn't that be a better way to compare?)
I do not understand the point of this video other than that counting frequently does not produce winnings except for maybe in the long run with bucu time invested into the game

I think it was too early for the 88 vs. 10 surrender deviation. Count needed to be higher
It was very close though
The person doing min max used playing variations (splitting 10,10 vs 6) but the normal counter did use playing variations (dont hit a 16 with a count of 1 or more).
keep these coming i love these
I can't BELIEVE Grace DIDN'T hit that SOFT 17 against a picture card!!!!!
I don’t think I’ve seen a blackjack table or you can split any 10-count cards-I’ve only seen that allowed if they are pairs.
Wait, why did Louden Often surrender the 88 on TC1 instead of split? I thought you were supposed to always split 88?
Order of operations say to surrender before split
Surrender at a true 1 8,8 v 10
@@rogerwalker3748 - i don’t think the app will let you do that without complaining and breaking whatever streak you had going.
against a ten surrendering is the higher expectation play
Reverse Martingale guarantees you lose. By doubling every time you win, you guarantee that when you finally lose a hand that you give back all your winnings. Makes zero sense.
If only she actually played the progressive system correctly, so we could have an accurate example. Unfortunate.
4:47 If the dealer takes a hit by mistake, the Nevada Gaming Commission does not allow the casino to run back the exposed cards. In these cases, the player is usually given a push (instead of a loss), and then the players are offered a new shuffle if they desire.
Im just wondering. why is there some kinda holes in the cards??
Easier to flip
I have no idea what those words mean and why i am shown this. Does not look like an introduction for a new viewer.
Not at all for a beginner - that would be this one th-cam.com/video/SHK2C-QQR-k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-3ximibEYpQzrcSr
You should recreate the video with the same shoe and methods but switch their spots at the table and see how it affects the outcomes
The seat doesn't impact the outcome so it would have no impact in the long run. We discuss it more here: th-cam.com/video/IpfyDa9hx5Y/w-d-xo.html
why dont you eliminate the randomness of the cards being deal to each player, by having them all play the same hand, -- then you are testing the different systems against each other for the same hands dealt.. (wouldbn't that be a better way to compare?)
I love how you had the orange running count in the video. Helped me to confirm I count properly. Love this channel!
Back with the vest!! Looking good Colin. I can afford to tip you $0.50 is that cool?
You need to shuffle the decks on camera before you start
what was that 5 10s
Almost all tables are it soft 17 now
Seems to me counting didn't work at all here.
I do not understand the point of this video other than that counting frequently does not produce winnings except for maybe in the long run with bucu time invested into the game
At 3:55 he said "nice advanced deviation" are you supposed to surrender on two 8s against a dealer 10 above a certain count? 🤔
