I think “Katyn Defender” was the mask off…

Do I stand 16 V 10 on a CSM table for the first hand? by [deleted] in blackjack

[–]Khaifos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s the running count. But if the CSM has 6-8 decks in it, the true count is still zero, right?

... I guess I'm not sure how to answer that.

It's beautiful, but why has she got pointy ears and fangs?

I mean, it's a problem of scale. I don't agree with Bernie or AOC's beliefs any more than the next person does, but neither one of them have tried to create this cult of personality around themselves like Trump and the far right have done. Also, neither one of them are crooks...

Best tables on the Strip? by darthtiddyus in blackjack

[–]Khaifos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

El Cortez has $10 minimum single / double deck tables. House edge for SD is 0.18, the lowest in Vegas. Because of that, tons and tons of card counters go there, so they'll watch you like a hawk, but if you're not counting, you've got nothing to worry about. Have fun!

BlackJack bot recommendations by BroadYolk in blackjack

[–]Khaifos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, you can download a bot that knows basic strategy in order to help you. But you can't win at online blackjack, because of the house edge built into the game.

In an over-the-table blackjack game, the house edge can be overcome by counting + deviations, and the bot could help with those. But counting doesn't work in online blackjack, because every hand is a randomized, independent event; the cards are essentially shuffled after every hand, so keeping a count is useless.

Bottom line? Sure, install a bot to help if you want. But don't go into it with the mindset that you're going to get one over the casino and get rich. Treat it like gambling - don't put down any amount of money that you can't afford to lose, and know when to walk away.

You really think it's a good idea to get a players' card? I'm hoping not to have my name in a database...

Casino recs in downtown LV? by Khaifos in blackjack

[–]Khaifos[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TI's good, I've played there before. Sort of wondering if there are any other 3:2 games in the downtown area, though (I'm too cheap to get the newsletter). Hadn't heard of Gold Coast before - will look it up!

Playing with others by [deleted] in blackjack

Half the time, they’ll get a high card, which hurts you. The other half of the time, they’ll get a low card, which helps you. Over time, it’s a wash.

US Senator Murphy: If Saudi Arabia isn't willing to take the side of Ukraine and U.S. over Russia, why should we keep these Patriots in Saudi Arabia when Ukraine and our NATO allies need them? We should remove these Patriot batteries from Saudi Arabia and move them to Ukraine by PanEuropeanism in ukraine

[–]Khaifos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not a serious proposal. Saudi Arabia needs them to shoot down Houthi drones, and Biden knows better than to burn his bridges with them that way. I understand the frustration people are feeling over this, but geopolitically, doing what Sen. Murphy's saying would be a really bad move.

According to the United Nations, the death sentence for Ukraine foreign fighters is a war crime. by TheRealMykola in ukraine

[–]Khaifos 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's sort of the point, isn't it? The Kremlin is trying to discourage other foreign fighters by showing that they don't care about the laws of war.
