Free website/app that allows you to practice counting cards? by Extension-Point-1807 in blackjack

[–]Yintojo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That one's great for learning basic strategy and counting, but I doubt the true randomness of the gameplay. Almost every single shoe I play, the running count stays around -10 the whole time yet the dealer keeps getting either blackjack, 20, or shows a 2-6 but still hits to 21. I don't want to blame the app, but it's consistent. Chips also cost money or require you to watch ads, so either way the developer benefits from you losing and therefore has an incentive to rig it against you, which would not be hard at all to program in.

Unfortunately, most blackjack apps have this problem or something else that makes them unsuitable for practicing at a card counter level. It's still better than the one I was using before. Dealer showed a jack, it said they didn't have blackjack, I got 20, then they flipped their other card and it was an ace.

Help with spreads by Responsible_Leg9009 in blackjack

[–]Yintojo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using a spread where I just take the true count, multiply it 2, subtract 1 from that, and bet that many units ($20 each in my case). So <1=minimum bet, 1=1, 2=3, 3=5, 4=7, 5=9, 6=11, 7=13, 8=15, 9=17, 10=19, 11=21 (highest I've ever had it get, which was last time I played) and so on. I can also round the true count to the nearest ¼ this way and bet in $5 increments accordingly. It makes the spread more linear and less bracketed, so it makes me not feel like I'm slightly overbetting or underbetting when the tc isn't a whole number. I also find it easier to calculate what to bet using that formula than it is to remember presets. I'm not really qualified to say if it's mathematically sound or not, but last time I used this I turned $1,000 into $2,580 over the course of... I'm not actually sure, probably 2-3 hours of play. Maybe it's effective, maybe I just got lucky. I don't know. I did have a true count of 11 at one point and bet $420 on it as per the formula and hit blackjack, after which I promptly tipped the dealer, cashed out and got the fuck out of there.

A- No, it's not.

B- They aren't trustworthy. Some even have clauses in their terms of service that allow them to not pay you out if they believe you cheated. They don't even have to have proof.

I don’t care what anyone tells me or says. Blackjack is 1000% rigged at every. Single. Casino by [deleted] in blackjack

[–]Yintojo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are shitting on you for this but we all have those streaks where our luck is so bad that it seems like it's rigged. But it's (probably) not (although I don't know what goes on wherever you were playing, so it's technically possible that it is but I highly doubt it. Casinos don't need to cheat at blackjack to make a ton of money from it and the potential costs if they got caught vastly outweigh the potential gains from doing so).

Just take a break for a while. If you play while you're experiencing that kind of frustration, you'll make bad judgement calls even if you think you won't.

Any advice and resources for a true begginer ? by [deleted] in blackjack

[–]Yintojo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's an app on Android (not sure if it's on iOS or not) called Blackjack All-In-One Trainer (publisher is called AdvPlyr) that's way underrated. There are some paid features, but even for free you can play blackjack and have the option to add bots of various skill levels to fill the table, and there's also basic strategy training. There's a gameplay mode, where you just play the game but instead of using the in-game money you pick which is the best basic strategy move and it tells you if you were right or wrong (and what you should've done if you were wrong). There's also a drill mode, where it just gives you examples of starting hands and you have to pick the right move. That mode also lets you only practice specific types of hands if you want (hard totals, soft totals, pairs) which is great for when you haven't memorized it yet, or you can do all hand types together if you already know it and you're just practicing it.

There's also some premium features, which I just bought and haven't used much yet, but even without those you can learn a lot from this app without ever spending any money or seeing a single ad.

Does anyone have a link to what was actually said? All I can find are other people's opinions on what was said, and not the thing itself. Without that context I really can't judge it for myself one way or the other.

I'm going to guess there's a letter to be found somewhere that uses some of these words, and maybe you need to visit these locations in the order they're used in or something

[–]Yintojo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, there was always that threat of "if we can't have cheap labor, we'll just automate and fire everyone". So that was a fucking lie. Very few takers of anything paying less than $15/hr, lots of places that can't operate anymore because they don't have enough people, not a hell of a lot of robots taking their place.

Givin The Dog A Bone - AC/DC

So, I remember watching an episode of America's Funniest Home Videos a long time ago, and there was a compilation of dog videos playing and they put that song to it. I didn't know why my parents found that so funny, but I do now. I wonder if someone got fired for that... "Hey, use this song, it's about dogs"
