Does anyone know where online you can printout the cheat sheet for BJ? I was thinking about bringing it to the table with me and just playing straight from it. Would the casino care? Can they legally stop me?

They won't care about a basic strategy chart because they'll still have the edge over you. Just don't expect to be comped much.

I have a basic strategy chart on my website. The address is: http://www.geocities.com/advantageplayeradvisor/basicstrategy.htm

The correct basic strategy chart for almost any set of rules can be obtained at:

You can also purchase a small strategy card at most casino gift shops.

The casino won't care if you use them, although technically they could stop you from using it if they wanted too.

just memorize it, it's not hard and other wise you'll look like a tool /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Tex:

1. They sell these cards at the gift shops in the casinos.
2. Question: If #1 is in fact true, do you think you'll actually get an edge on the casino?
3. People buy these cards thinking they'll get an edge and play more blackjack just like those boards in roullette that tell you the number history - they don't work.
4. I'm no blackjack expert, but unless you're counting cards and increasing your bets when the deck is in your favor - you will be a $$$ loser over the long run.

True. But of all the games you can gamble on, Blackjack with basic strategy has the lowest house edge.

If you find a slow dealer and a full table (low hands per hour), and bet a little more when the pit boss is looking and a little less when he is not, and occasionally sit out a hand during the shoe because it doesn't feel right, and always leave the table to find the waitress to get a drink (but never when the dealer is shuffling, just when he is dealing) and maybe take a long bathroom break or two, etc. (the comp clock keeps running, they don't clock you in and out constantly). And give the dealer a tip when the pit boss comes over to check the table, and take your time figuring out what to do on a hand ...

You often can get more back in comps than you have risked and lost playing.

Sometimes, looking like a tool is good /images/graemlins/cool.gif...At the level I play at, I don't need much cover(for counting)...but I figure the dumber you look the better.

A month or so back, a lady was using one of these little cards her husband had printed off. I ask her what it was, and she offered me one....sure I'll take it! And continued to refer to it during that session, especially when the pit boss was around.

Just be sure to get the right one...her's was filled with mistakes for the game we were playing.
