I am a blackjack card counter. I was a recovering hi-lo loser at 21 before I discovered my ten count 20 years ago. Yes, the same hi-lo used by the suckers at MIT in the movie 21. The chumps at MIT went bankrupt according to the History Channel's "Breaking Vegas". My Ten Count(JSTATII)is an upgrade of Edward O. Thorp's Ten Count in" Beat The Dealer". I managed to be barred all over Nevada using my method. Betting with my head, not over it. I hope that you all use my count presented in the videos. No charge, it is free. You can brag to your friends and family about the fear the casinos will have of you if you play perfect.
I use combinatorial analysis and a calculator which is more accurate than computer sims. Using subsets really shows the power of JSTATII over hi-lo. For example, we are playing two hands heads up at single deck. Our first hand is A,A and the second is A,9. The dealer shows an ace and asks for insurance. The hi-lo count is -4, not an insurable count. JSTATII differs because taking insurance is a positive expectation event in this situation. +1 with four aces gone with less than 1/4 deck played takes about +3.5 and above to gain the insurance advantage. 4 aces and +1 equals +5, we take the insurance while the hi-lo counter misses out and is clueless. Here is an another example. At double deck with 26 cards(1/2 deck)played, the count is -10 with 6 aces played and no 8,9's have come out. We have 14-16 vs 7,8 for the dealer. Basic Strategy says to hit, so the hi-lo sheep hit and go bust. JSTATII says stay because we will bust more, leaving the dealer to bust. Asymmetry of 8,9's with a dealer 7,8 upcard produces more stiffs for the dealer. We buck the tide by standing on 14-16 vs 7,8 leaving the dealer to bust more often. My Ten Count(JSTATII)displaces the Hi-OptII count by Lance Humble as the best count ever.
What about shuffle tracking? If all the dealers shuffle the cards in the exact manner, then yes, the 6 deck shoe can be shuffle tracked. You map out the shuffle and practice it at home. First turn 39 cards over at the bottom. Track where they end up at the end of the shuffle. Then do the next 39 cards and repeat to the last 39 cards. You will know where the slugs of tens and aces are in every shoe.
JSTATII side counts the aces, eights, and nines, like Hi-OptII. JSTATII takes advantage of asymmetry situations from the side counts. Combinatorial analysis with subsets and a calculator was needed to confirm its power. Blackjack computer simulation is insufficient. The casino executives and book/sim sellers who read this will wrongly say that JSTATII is very weak, very weak, you who do not drink the casino Kool-Aid will dominate. The hi-lo count is endorsed by "The Man" or the casino industry. Do they have our interests at heart? No way! I got away with fooling Reno/Tahoe for 6 years in the 90's because of the difference of my blackjack count from hi-lo and other counts. I made a few mistakes in my videos because I was rusty. Its been 10 years since I played seriously but the cobwebs are gone now.
