August 6, 201115 yr I will throw my 2 cents in: Most dealers I know like when you bet for them instead of just flat out tipping them. If I get on a run of wins, I will make a $2.50/$5 bet for the dealers. If I have a big win, I will tip out some at cashout. Please do not keep jumping from playing one hand to two hands. And please don't sit at a table for 2 or 3 hands and get up. Just like anything, you will run into streaks. Your goal is to minimize losses when the streaks are going bad and maximize when going good. Which means if you are on a winning streak, you need to increase your bets. I bet in increments. If I win first hand I pull it back, 2 in a row I double bet, 3 in a row I pull one bet back, 4 in a row pull 2 bets backs, and anything I win over that I pull everything back. When I lose, I start back over. Example $25 win $25 win $50 win $75 win $100 win $100 win $100 lose $25 Last thing, you can keep your strategy card on you and reference it while playing. Casino's do not mind. You can use your phone though. Always double down when your card tells you too, this where you make your most money because odds are in your favor. Have a great trip, the Wynn is awesome.

How do you signal that you're betting for the dealer? I know I ask a lot of dumb questions, but I'd rather look dumb to you guys than end up on someone's YouTube video. Oh, and if there's one thing the dealer won't have to worry about, it's me getting up after 2 or 3 (million) hands. :sssh:

To bet for the dealer, when you place your normal bet in the circle, you put the dealers bet just above your bet outside the circle and I let them know I am betting for the dealer. You will find dealers very helpful. Even though they work for the casino, they are really rooting for you because they make their money in tips.
August 6, 201115 yr Author Thanks for all the great advice!! I'll let you all know how I did.* *That is, if they have a phone at the poor house.
August 7, 201115 yr Author We are somewhere over Missouri, on the way to Vegas. Ironically, the gentleman who checked us in and helped me get to my seat is a well known BGPer!

August 9, 201115 yr Author I played a video blackjack, yesterday, that dealt seven hands at once. You could bet up to ten bucks per hand. I actually treade water for a few hours before finally losing my stake. Hoping to try a little of the real thing today, over at the Mirage. Do not ask how much I've burned on the stinkin' slots! My family is having great luck though. My mother won a thousand bucks....twice! Leaving on the red eye tonight, getting in at 7 a.m. Cincinnati time. Ugh!!
August 9, 201115 yr If you are only getting 6/5 on black jacks which is what Harrah's properties pay on tables where the minimum bet is less than $25 per hand I think you should doule down on a black jack against a 4, 5 or 6.
August 9, 201115 yr Would I be better off playing at the Wynn? I'm not sure what rules the Wynn uses. If you can play at a table that doesn't hit soft 17's and pays 3/2 on black jack that is where you want to be.
August 10, 201115 yr Author We played at the Mirage today. They had $10 limit, hit on soft 17 and paid 3/2 on blackjacks. Even though I only left with $5.00 more than I started with, I had a blast for about four hours. The dealer was awesome! He was helping everyone, and sometimes he made a decision for me before I even said anything. I just wished I hadn't wasted so much time (and money) on slots. Edited August 11, 201115 yr by Birdsfan
