So Ive been practicing now for a few weeks counting down decks no prob in about 30 secs. I have been using hi/lo but thinking about trying red 7 to remove the deck calculation for TC.

I only have two casinos in driving distance. One is at about a .57 house edge (6 deck, DAS, RSA (To 3 hands), split to 4 hands otherwise, aces only receive 1, no surrender, obviously 3-2, and a consitent dealer set 75% pen at all the tables. This is in WI. Almost no heat there from when I have gone and played. But I dont think you could wong in or back count itd be to conspicious there. The other is Hochuck which is farther and has worse rules.

I have a full setup at home where I totally replicate this, i.e shuffle machine i double shuffle with, table felt, chips, shoe, cut cards, i do everything exactly as they do.

This game should be beatable with a 1-12 spread. My sessions are either lose all or double your money. But so far out of 8 sessions at home where i start with 25-30 units, i have lost 6, and only won 2. Obviously this is possible with a swing but my concern is that I have only had a TC as high as +6 in any of these sessions and usually it doesnt pass +4 so im never getting anywhere near at 12 unit spread. Usually i do make it 4-7 shoes into these sessions before i either win or lose, is this also normal?

Sidenote: tips on counting at the casino because i can count down decks in pairs all day but looking at a table or even my own setup i turn into a sloth.

Looking for general input or thoughts on this.
