Default Re: Blackjack Strategy

odds of getting a blackjack are about 1:21 (depends on number of decks though).

i would say that the dealer would have a blackjack when you have a blackjack roughly once in every 21 occurances (although actually less than that since you are taking a T and an A from the shoe that he can't get).
The chances obviously increase significantly when the dealer is showing a T or an A.


I agree with Mitch Evans regarding your insistence that everything is working great for you on this whole blackjack thing.
You are playing a negative ev game. You claim to understand this. But then you claim that your little betting system is giving you better profits then you ever could at poker.

Well, yeah.
If I played the slots or roulette and ran hot I could make more too. Same if I played the lottery.

Your recent blackjack wins have everything to do with running lucky at the right time (most likely when you happened to place a larger bet out there) and zippo to do with how great your betting system is.
