Was hoping to find a forum on here to discuss with some of you, but I can't seem to find one :shrug:

Whats to discuss It' all been hashed over since since Edward Thorpe. Got a question ask it. Some one will answer i am sure. Time in table games. And volume in sports betting kills everyone except the disciplind chosen few.

Don't play fun 21, always play blackjack where you get paid 3/2 on blackjack not 6/5

what scenarios do you hit/double soft 18?

do you ever double soft 19 versus 4-5-6?

always split 8's?

split 2-7 vs 2-7?

I always hit 12 vs 2 or 3
I always split aces.
I only split 8's against 8 or lower or ACE.
I just think splitting 8s against 9/10 is such a sucker bet even though it's said to always split 8s.
Always hit soft 17 for sure. Always hit 16 against 7+

Do you hit soft 18 verus 9/10? I always hit versus 10.

What are betting pattern strategies you use?

I don't hit soft 18 against a 9 or 10

My betting pattern, I bet table minimum to start and after that no plan, depends on if I'm winning, how about you?

Do you always double 11 no matter what?

Typically I start betting $25 a hand then get a feel for how the shoe is going. I like to get to a point where my min bet is 50 or 100 or higher so when I'm pressing when the shoe is good, I'm getting the most value.
