  • Excellent video for beginners.

    Can you make a video on bet sizing when using basic strategy and card counting?

    The example given in the video is a no brainer - single deck, 4 aces out, no chance for a BJ, make a very small bet or no bet. With better odds, make higher bets, and vice versa with bad odds make lower bets. But how exactly should I size my bets when I count the cards?I assume that the basic strategy chart would also change when counting cards,i.e. I have to adjust the strategy?

  • Bet sizing when counting cards is usally based on the true count. The higher the count, the more you bet. If the count is up to +1 you make your lowest bet, if +2 you double it, +3 you triple it, +4 quadruple it, etc. About 95% of the time, you use basic strategy. However, you sometimes deviate based on the true count. There are "index numbers" you need to memorize. When the count is above or below a certain level in particular situations you should deviate from basic strategy.

  • @americancasinoguide is there a point of going to a casino with psm and is there any casino in the world that don't have a psm if u no the please message me back

  • By "psm" you mean a continuous shuffling machine? If so, most casinos use them on some, but not all of their tables. They usually use the CSM's on tables where the minimum betting limits are lower because it speeds up the game and they can make more money. If you make higher minimum bets you will usually find a table without a CSM. At Strip casinos in Vegas it would probably be $25 and up. If you have to play at a table with a CSM, make sure it is crowded to slow down the speed of the game.
