2 Deck vs 6 Deck: Which Is Better for Blackjack?

Hey colin? What is a shoe game? Hopefully you'll see this msg even though the video is 2 years old :)

Please let me know where can i find hand shuffle blackjack casino in asia

If I join mid game do I just play until the new shoot comes out or just wait till the new shoot. And then the true number do we always divid the running count every hand???

I was wondering how significant it is in a pitch game that you can’t initially see everyone’s cards during a round. So the count could go from .T1 to T-1 or there could be a deviation to play but you wouldn’t know. Specially for someone who doesn’t have the bankroll to play through neg counts. Thanks.

Have you ever played in casinos where the count is always negative? I've been in casinos in Vegas where they use a machine to shuffle the 6 deck show before putting it in the rack and I wondered if it was really a random shuffler because multiple shows would go in the negatives and never become positive..for well over an hour I never had a positive count. Have you seen this before? Made me wonder if they set up the cards this way so even counters can't beat it. Not sure how to combat a shoe that never goes positive.

Why do I lose most of the time and I follow basic strategy. And I see a player that plays crazy and I always see them win?

whoa ...there is a lot of terminology here us newbies don't get. What do card counters do right after the shuffle? at what point do you start raising your bets (obviously when his 1+ but after what point of the deck has been dealt. Isn't that an obvious giveaway you are counting?

In other words please point me to your video that addresses your choice of positions
And
Do you play heads up
Do you play 1 2 3 hands
Do you change it up
If given the opportunity
To play heads up
Play 3 handed
2
Or
1
I find myself at an advantage playing 3 hands
Or one hand
Heads up

I like to know what position you prefer

I also notice in multiple players sometimes there is a person winning large number of hands
Like a guy on middle position or 3rd base
Or any position
And I in first base get 13 or 16 often and on a bust streak

So I move or add a hand

I have found moving seems to not work

For example
I’m beat for many hours
Could not win a hand for 5 or more hours
I play minimum
Then I finally get up
A guy sits in my seat
Wins every single hand for hours
Cannot lose a hand
Wins huge

This happens often

I had a great friend who tell me to be patient
Will come back to you
He was a counter
And my tax accountant
I really miss him
He would play many hours
We had such wonderful time
He rarely lost

I was just in Vegas and every table I saw was 6:5 blackjack. 🤷‍♂

Honestly I don't understand why casinos don't just get tables set to flat bets, or something where they can't go more than 2x or 4x the minimum. Is it that impactful to how much people will bet?

6 to 5 blackjack of any sort will hurt gamblers too!

I was playing blackjack just for the fun of it. I noticed someone sitting watching the game after a while he sat to the left of me and started playing. All of sudden I started losing. So I left. When I got up; to go he was asking, the air, more than anything else. What did I do, What did I do. I don't know what that was all about but maybe you understand what was happening

Can you do a video on Casino stocks? When to hit, stand or double down.

I see single decks in multiple nevada casinos

The other thing with a heads up shoe is that if you can play really fast, dealers can and do make mistakes. They go against you sometimes, so it's important to make sure you never miss those. But if you can play fast enough for them to make mistakes and all of the mistakes go against them, it does add a little to EV. It's surprising how often this happens.

Sounds like i need to stop gambling

How about electronic black jack with a computer Dealing your hand can I trust the casinos?

Are there crazy things in place at casinos now to prevent card counting?

What's a "shoe game"?

Do you think using whole deck devisors is perfectly fine instead of half deck when it comes to shoe games? Obviously you need to use half deck devisors for double deck.

What are your thoughts on automatic shufflers??? I don't like them. Something about recirculation cards.

This must be for LV - not Indian casinos in CA. They are all 4 or 6 deck shues with auto-shuffling and removing all cards after every deal.

Hey Collin! Just wondering if you have a video that discusses any statistical advantages to running 1 or more numbers of shoes? I.e I walk up to an empty blackjack table, how many boxes is it best to play? Is 1 box the same odds as 3 boxes? Thanks in advance! Love your work…

Make $200-$300 every time I play double and loose $200-$300 every time I play 4+ decks. I count well enough and the difference I’ve found is a true positive count in double is potent, bringing in good money. A true positive count with 4+ decks doesn’t really equate to much and I find myself often getting bad hands while the dealer grabs the tens… any one else have different experiences?

I'd like to ask you what you say to the person sitting next to you who asks you what to do I don't really like talking at the table so what do YOU say?

Good videos agree but Id say more that basic strategy allows you to remove guessing and maintain composure knowing that even though you lost 4 times in a row doubling on 11 your going to win in the end and therefore mindset is most important BC it equalls gameplan practice composure

I've progressed past counting I went to Patterson's school he was on ken ustons team he said I learned to count in the early eighties but was never on a team I play alone but just use another method using a basic strategy of robotic consistently but I believe I have read every book system and have 40 years experience and mindset is key to Blackjack and or any gambling practice patience bankroll money management emotional control all under mindset the count can be helpful but it's not absolute

I don't play single or double bc they deal from the hand not a shoe I'm positive that Vegas was dealing seconds in the early days when I began in1978 I like 8 with a deep cut because runs last longer negative counts I've even won sometimes

Sorry all subject but having problems dividing negative numbers with positive numbers and he suggestions. Please help if you can. Thank you

how do you figure out the rules of a bj table? just ask the dealer?

I was playing $10.00 min bet blackjack at Westgate casino in Las Vegas and I seen my chance and went all in and drew a blackjack. The dealer said so your counting cards, and the pit boss would not take his eyes of of me after that big play. The casino really does not want to loose.

Why is any blackjack game ever dealt face down?

Is there some advantage about seeing the other cards?

Does basic strategy change with 2 deck vs 6 deck?

Been in action since the Kenny Uston days 😅

Colin, in the state of PA there is only one casino nearby that is an hour away compared to another that is 3 hours away. I go to the one that is closest though it is an 8 deck shoe. I have noticed they usually cut off 1.5 decks. Is it worth playing? Or should I travel further for a 6 deck shoe.

I wonder what do you think of Spanish 21, it has some adventeous rules like instant blackjack psy without insurance or when you hit your 21, surrender but less 10s?

DO NOT GAMBLE, YOU WILL LOSE !!!

I don’t card count accurately, but I still keep an approximate count in my head. Stupidest thing I used to do was not trust that count when it went far negative… I knew I should get up and get out but I felt guilty in a way and stayed. They allowed surrender and I figured that was enough to get me through most dry spells..nope.

Still don’t understand on how to get true count in double deck … you dividing in decimals? Not decks since it only 2 someone help!!!!

Hello to all gamblers! my question is if you have a true count for example +3 and then a cut card comes up and the dealer shuffles the deck..do you still keep this true count or you go back to running count with zero? Thanks!

Love your videos! What’s EV?

I am not as familiar with Double Deck. Do dealers hand shuffle these games?

It depends on how strong your dealer is and house rules for sure. 6 to 5 on single deck still sucks bc you can't double after a split. Lame

California, Table Mountain Casino has double deck if anyone is looing

if I had a casino I would welcome counters..i would have a pit just for them....you can't win long term...crews can win over a period of time...counters...no way...

if you want "deck penetration" TIP THE DEALER. Having dealt single and double deck for decades...If a player who is tipping is running good, I would go as deep as possible with the deck. As far as casino watching the game...yeah, maybe if it's a high limit game, otherwise, no more than any other...if i knew u were counting, which is EASY to spot and you were not tipping, I would cut you short EVERY TIME. And pass the word to other dealers....

I like your shirt
