Training Setup
The video involves playing three shoes of double-deck blackjack, each progressively faster, to test Hi-Lo card counting skills.
[00:14]
Bet Spread Strategy
The host uses a $10 minimum bet in one spot below a true count of 1, and spreads to two spots with higher bets at true counts of 1, 2, and 5, reaching up to $500 per spot. This creates a 1 to 100 bet spread, which is very large and increases advantage but also risk of being kicked out.
[01:25]
Bankroll and Penetration
The session uses a $10,000 trip bankroll, with 31 cards cut off (0.6 of a deck) for realistic penetration. The host manually counts out the cut cards.
[05:03]
Negative Count Management
During negative counts, the host emphasizes betting minimums to minimize losses, noting that 'bleeding out' minimum bets is a reason to bet low or wong out (leave the table) when the count is negative.
[05:30]
Count Verification
At the end of each shoe, the host verifies the count by checking that the remaining cards (including the burn card) have a count opposite to the running count. For example, a running count of +6 should correspond to a remaining count of -6.
[10:03]
Round Two Results
The second shoe ends with a running count of -1, and the host confirms the count is correct, showing consistency in counting.
[11:04]
Patreon Promotion
The host mentions his Patreon, which offers card counting challenges and other advantage play techniques like advantage slot machines, with a $35,000 bankroll challenge currently underway.
[14:09]
Round Three and Final Results
The third shoe is negative throughout, but the host reduces risk by betting minimums. The final count is +1, and the session ends with a profit of $270, averaging $90 per shoe, with the middle shoe being the most advantageous due to high counts.
The video demonstrates that disciplined card counting with a large bet spread can yield profits, but emphasizes the importance of betting low during negative counts to manage risk. The host's count verification method ensures accuracy, and the session results in a modest profit.

[00:01] to be playing three shoes of double-deck Blackjack. Each shoe progressively getting faster and faster. That way, hopefully, using Hi-Lo card counting, you can see where your skills are and if you've fully mastered it or not. That
[00:14] floppy because we have $10,000 here we're going to shove over your way in a >> Playing in these two spots using this bet spread. And when we spread the two there's at least one other person at the table. That said, we're going to be
[00:28] table. That said, we're going to be playing with $10 in one spot uh below a true one. Um and this is a very big bet spread we're playing with, and so that advantage or a pretty decent advantage, I should say. At a true one itself,
[00:43] spots. In fact, we're just going to be playing that many blacks in two spots this would be a true two as there's two blacks in two spots. All the way up to a true five, which would be $500 in two spots. That's $1,000, 500 * 2. And if
[00:59] our minimum bet was just one spot of $10, $10, 10 to 1,000 is a 1 to 100 bet spread, which is very big. And again, typically, the bigger the bet spread, the better it
[01:11] You also might get kicked out a little bit faster, but should make for a fun video. That said, I'll put this off to the side, get our chips shoved over your numbers we're using up on the screen for you. Again, this is kind of like a um a
[01:25] trip bankroll, so I'll put the real bankroll up there so you can see the risk of ruin, the expected value, and things like that.
[01:40] here. And then, our numbers on the screen call for 31 cards cut off. That's realistic, so I'm going to count that out manually. what it would look like if the [music] dealer is playing a or if the dealer has
[01:54] it kind of looks like that in the dealer's hand. Got our minimum bet of check. We'll throw it into the discard Otherwise, we have our floppy over here. Our card counters playing in two spots.
[02:08] You guys ready to count? Here comes round number one. Let's count.
[05:03] able to win one that last time, but man, that was negative for most of that. And you can see just how fast we're bleeding out those minimum bets. So, that's one reason why you definitely want to bet low when the count is negative or if you
[05:16] can get up and wong out is what it's called, that's going to be even better. this up, if you like this type of content, please give me a thumbs-up. I motivated to keep making more of these types of videos. That said, this plus
[05:30] the burn card should be the opposite of what my count is. Let's try it. We what my count is. Let's try it. We [music] have 1 0 1 2 3 2 1 2 1 3 4 3 2 4
[05:46] 3 2 4 5 6 5 6 5 4 3 4 5 6 5 6 5 4 3 4 5 6 And still at plus six, which means we need a count of minus six. Yeah, that's
[06:00] what I had as well. All right, I'll get these shuffled up and hopefully round these shuffled up and hopefully round two will get a higher count.
[06:13] 31 cards manually to give us exactly 0.6 of a deck cut off. That's the penetration that you can see right there. Our minimum bet of $10 out there. Burn card that we'll check at the end. Throw that in the discard tray.
[06:26] Here comes round number two, just slightly faster. Let's count.
[10:03] exciting. Think we are up currently. I was my I Again, this plus the burn cards do the opposite if our count is right. Let's >> [music] >> D1 0, 1, 0, 1,
[10:17] >> D1 0, 1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 2, 3, 2, 1, 0, D1, D2, D1, 0, D1, D2, D1, 0,
[10:35] >> We need a count of minus 1. So, so far my counts have been correct. Hopefully yours have as well. Get it shuffled up one more time for round number three.
[10:52] cut off just like that. Our minimum bet's already out there from last time. discard tray. Before we start round number three though, just want to make you aware that I do kind of the card counting challenge like this on my
[11:04] Patreon and the lowest tier gets you access to that. If you're interested in some double deck, which we [music] try to build. Currently we're doing a $35,000 bankroll challenge where we start with 35,000, we build it
[11:16] up over time. I've also done a $25,000 bankroll challenge on there and many little bit more bang for your buck, I suggest bumping up to the middle tier of my Patreon which you can learn to beat the casino in other ways like with
[11:30] advantage slot machines. So, if that's something you're interested in, I'll put the link to my Patreon in the pinned comment of this video down below. Otherwise, here comes round number three, faster yet. Ready, get set. Let's
[11:43] three, faster yet. Ready, get set. Let's count.
[14:09] negative the whole time. So, I was just >> but again because of that we were able to reduce our risk as opposed to betting that up in a second, but first let's count our cards see if our count is
[14:22] correct. This plus the burn card should be opposite. We have D10, D1, 0 D1. What are neutral cards there? >> [music] >> D10 D1 0 D1 0
[14:38] 1 2 1 0 1 0 D1 D2 D1 0 1 0 D1 D2 back to D1. So, this was minus one, which means we need a count of plus one.
[14:55] well. Let me know down below, were you able to get all those counts correct? And do that while I get the chips counted up here. counted up here. >> [music]
[15:11] going to bring this over to get these more in piles of 1,000s. So, it looks like remember we started with $10,000 by the way. Um looks like we have 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. [music] And then 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Another five.
[15:28] else is profit, [music] which this is 100, that's 100, that's 200. 50, 60, 70. 270 of profit. That's not too bad. It's about $90 [music] for each of the shoes
[15:43] that we played. Um I think that middle one is where it really was um advantageous where we got those big counts. So, hopefully can I see how card big counts, we were definitely winning more. Whereas in those smaller or
[15:56] negative counts, that's where I want to bet less with the smaller chips. Um out my Patreon link right here if you want more of this type of content. And this video next. >> Woo!
