The book Winning Without Counting was by Stanford Wong. (1978) It is almost thirty years old and very outdated. He talks about playing the warps, tells, six card Charlie's and kinesics. Six card Charlie- If you draw six cards without busting…

Winning Without Counting (Dr. Wong)
It was Dr. Thorp that created "Basic Strategy". I do have Wongs book Winning Without Counting, but I haven't read it for a long time.

Betting Smart
Hi Ray How you been ? I have been playing more poker than BJ lately. I did play some a couple of weeks ago with the Grifter. He came to Kansas for a few days and we had a good time. He helped me with my poker game and we even shot some sporting cla…

Betting Smart
Betting smart would be, to Not bet at all.......until you know Basic Strategy. Then betting smart would be to flat bet the table minimum. Boring, but the safest way for a new player to bet. For different types of betting progresions : Do a searc…

INDIAN CASINOS?????
Emperor Ming- Here in Kansas we have a gaming commission for all four of the Indian casinos. I have played them for several years, with no problems of any kind.

Splitting 8's
Split the 8's or hit them, both are losing hands, BUT you will lose less, by splitting the 8's, than by not splitting them. The dealer will not "always" have the face card under the 10 and you will not "always" wind up …

Short Trip Report
Ray, there is no $500 loss limit in the Kansas casino's, like Missouri has and you can play two hands for the table mimimum, if you want to.

They can be found in Wongs book : Blackjack Secrets (pages 56 to 59). It is for the High-Low count.

perfect pair, and lucky ladies
Grifter to answer your question, go to GC and do a search for Lucky Ladies. Panama Rick wrote a simulation to shuffle a 6 deck shoe 1 million times and calculated the EV of this sidebet as each card was dealt (down to 1.5 decks) He then compaired th…

perfect pair, and lucky ladies
D, I think the proof is, the fact that the casino even offers this bet. With a side count of the Queen of Hearts, the Lucky Ladies can be profitable at a TC of +7.

A Little Different
Thanks for asking Ray. I have been working on something and working a lot of overtime at work. The players that I saw in the Oklahoma game had a better chance of nailing jello to a tree, than they did of winning at BJ. I am sure there are some good…

A Little Different
This was indeed a small indian casino in Oklahoma. It was not advertised or a promo. It is just the way they do it. As for how long it will last is anybodys guess. It is no big deal as the game limits were only $2 to $25 and the game has the Oklahom…

Fred Renzeys KISS COUNT
Sage- congrats. Nothing like making the final table in your first tournament. BTW Ken Smith is writing a book on BJ tournaments. I think Hollywood Dave is also.

Ray- I don't think he ever got a dime. Ceasar's claimed they "couldn't" pay him as he was not old enough to be gambling (yes, it was called "gambling" back then) His dad tried to sue them for being negligent, (not …

We were there a week after it happened. It was at Ceasar's Palace and his dad tried to claim he had hit it, but the camera showed different..... Ceasar's also used to have a million dollars in a big plexiglass box. It looked like more mo…

10 Days on the road......Blackjack road
Hey Ray, congrats on the win and if you ever do make it to Ks. let me know. Woulfe01 had it right. Missouri casino's have a $500 loss limit, but you can buy another $500 every two hours. Hint : If your wife is with you, she can also buy in for…

Tournament Strategy
More info needed: How many players will be in it ? How many rounds will they be playing ? How do you advance ? Is the top 1,2 or 3 players from each table moving on or is it total dollar amount won, of all who entered ? Is it a 100% pay back ?

Bank Requirement
Prog - There is no "one size fits all" when it comes to double deck. Check the rules for the game in your area. Yes, when you bust you toss in your cards (face up). Yes, when you have a BJ, you show it. Most places will only let you use on…
