I am at present in Tsjechie and play my usual hi-lo bj. The second casino i went to check out I noticed (wasnt that difficult) that they use 6 decks with two diffeent colors. Three decks had brown backside and the other three were red colored at the back. You can see from the shoe which color is next. IS ther soemthing useful to be done with it?


Thanks for the support,

Forget it, highly unlikely you can do anything with it unless you are ridiculously talented and can keep many counts at once. Besides playing a 6 deck game already starts you out behind the 8-ball so gaining a tiny extra edge here doesn't make up for it. If you really want to try to beat this game for any reason probably best thing to do is side count the aces and break it down by colors. That will give you the maximum amount of edge for the mininum amount of work. And obviously you want a seat at first base on this game if you do anything special for it.

If you think you can keep a 3 deck count(goodluck) ....find a partner that can do the same (wish you even more goodluck)....and work out your signals or codes for communicating your counts to each other.


I agree its highly unlikely and only a small advantage.... probably not worth the effort but the only real angle I can see.
