Thanks, I think I'll spend more eating and dining out then gambling. My luck never was good in Vegas, did better in Atlantic City

Always double down on 11 and split aces and eights. And get a private dance at the Olympic Gardens, you'll always win even though you'll lose a lot of money

Have fun in Vegas Mr. Bear. Hope you don't get a surprise snow blizzard there.

I thought they only let bears in casinos if they were part of performance they can sell tickets for?

I try that once, at another club. Due to low lighting it's just too hard to understand what the dancer saying to me. Never found any dancers that do sign language

Don't always double down on 11 and don't always split 8's. You have to take the dealer's card into account.

For example, if you split 8's, for the most part, the best you can hope for is 18. If the dealer is showing a 9 or a 10, and you assume (as you should) that the face card is a 10, you will lose. Basically, what you've done is taken 1 losing hand and turned it into two losing hands.

Have fun in Vegas, Mr. Bear. I haven't been there in years but it was always fun if not profitable.

.

Play the sluts err slots for me buddy

Hey have Fun in Vegas Mr. Bear! Wow! Just imagine if those private dancers actually did know sign language, talk about being multi-talented! =)

I bought this little "cheat sheet" for BJ that fits in your wallet in Vegas a few years ago (that's why it looks so grubby ) You're actually allowed to use it at the tables, but you kinda look like a doofus if you do . It shows to always split aces and 8's, no matter what the dealer has. It also says to double down on 11 on any dealer card except an ace, but I double down anyway.

I'm not saying that this card is the ultimate authority on black jack, but it seems like they did a lot of number crunching.

Remember, prostitution is illegal in Las Vegas. Just saying...

Hope you make it to Vegas! It's a blast and Black Jack is awesome. The "cheat sheet" does help but you still have to go with you gut and I always take in to account what the dealer has and how many people are at the table. Obviously sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt....that's why it's GAMBLING lol. Oh and watch out for the people that jump in on the table in the middle of a shoe....play stupid....and then get off the table. Table jumpers ruin everything. DONT BE A TABLE JUMPER!

That's a VERY idealistic cheat sheet.

I did some research on the subject, and it backs up your little card. One should always split aces and 8's. In the case of 8's, it has to do more with cutting losses than winning.

going with your gut is an excellent strategy . . . if you're looking to lose your money. This is not to say that it doesn't work once in a while, but in the long run, you will lose far more often than you will win.

The goal in any table game is to minimize the house edge, and while playing aggressively is the way to do that, making silly plays b/c you "feel" something is a great way to make the casino more money.

Nice job!!! Just don't get used to it, if you make Vegas a regular occurrence. Remember, Vegas doesn't make money off of winners.
