And that universal truth is "one must have a Twitter account to read certain Tweets".Quote:

Jstat promoting his specialized Jstat count for single deck blackjack is shades of the late Kevin Keen, who posted as Moses and tater. who did the exact same thing with his specialized column count.
Yes, such a specialty count could be beneficial when playing single deck blackjack....true single deck blackjack, meaning 3:2. The problem is where is such all but extinct, dinosaurs of a game? Reno and a couple small towns in Nevada are the only places remaining that still have such games and they won't allow almost any spread, nor allow a player to play for any real money. So if you want to use your specialized count playing $5 blackjack...yes it will be beneficial to the tune of a dollar or two an hour, for the very short time that the casino tolerates your play.
Seeing these guys promote such a count for such an al but extinct games is like promoting the 8-track tape player, of VCR tapes.
For whatever card counters remain, you really need to be able to beat 6 deck (sometimes 8 deck) shoe type games to make any real money. While there are double deck games remaining, even in Las Vegas, ALL of these games are very closely "hawked". The term I and other card counters use is "counter traps". They just will not allow a player to get any real money down for any length of time. Even if a player plays very short sessions and moves around a lot, you will wear out your welcome on these games in a very short time.
To win a player needs to be able to beat the 6 and 8 decks games and that is a completely different animal. Specialty counts aren't what is needed, with the exception of playing certain side bets.
So I am not trying to be mean JSTAT, but your JSTAT count is a dinosaur. It is just worth very little in 2023.

a guy who calls himself Cacarulo is promoting and selling a new counting system - see link - which per his graph outperforms all others
his graph shows that it outperforms Hi/Lo by a lot

If you're diving into the mathematics of blackjack, I highly recommend checking out Blackjack Attack: Playing the Pros' Way by Don Schlesinger. It’s a classic for understanding advanced blackjack strategies and the math behind them.
UNKewlJ has not just read it, but Schlesinger contacts him regularly to ask that he not talk about him.Quote:

I played some 25-dollar minimum Twenty-One the other day and won 35 dollars.
I was killing some time waiting for my to go order.
I only played one run through.
I ended up flat betting every hand.
I got to split a hand and double down on one.
I won both of those and also had one Twenty-One dealt.
The dealer lost their bet that I bet for them.
I don't know the JSTAT counting method but that run didn't have anything good.
Lots of Big Cards and 8's out in the first 4 hands.
Just because we’re down, and we’re fat, and we’re ugly, and we’re broke, doesn’t mean it’s over
