...99.8% Winrate? 

I've lost ~18 hands in a row, and won maybe 10 hands in a row. In the short term anything can and will happen, and with sampling bias you could just about prove anything. You will lose on a 20. You will win on a 12. What matters is the long term and math proves that the only winning "strategy" is card counting. Thanks Colin for this excellent video!

This video is SO well done! Great work guys!

I've watched so many Blackjack channels. This is the only one I've seen that doesn't feed bs to its viewers. Appreciate the hell out of that.

Martingale, lol.....As soon as you hear that you know it's silliness......

The best part is the long-haul math callouts. anyone claiming to offer that high of a win rate is an automatic charlatan. The fact that he's suggesting Martigale betting is the icing. It's such a horrendous betting strategy that it doesn't even warrant you mentioning it because it's so bad it may soil even YOUR reputation! lol. Thanks for the video!

Thankyou for shining a light on these bums. I was silly enough to follow their "99.8%" strategy and ended up losing my entire deposit. Luckily I cashed some out before it happened because I felt like it was too good to be true. But I feel cheated. I will stay away from them moving forward. You got my sub. Is there anything I can do since they basically lied?

You're editing and storytelling on these recent videos has become far superior! Congrats and keep the math coming

Colin...the look on your face right after you put the mask on to "run across the road" is hilarious!!...I couldn't stop laughing....Maybe a career in acting is in your future ;). This is by far the best video you've produced to date! Keep 'em coming.

Im starting practicing basic strategy ..then i will try my best at counting+true count and finally the deviations..its not going to be a walk in the park since i got ADHD...but i will try

Well, the Martingale obviously never works. You're expected to bust once very 7 hours with some certain table limits (source: another BJA video). They obviously never mention this. Overall this video is just awesome. This is the first time I saw some fun real-life examples out of your videos. Great work Colin!

The editing has REALLY improved. Well done BJA gang

As always, it's a great video on exposing the lies of systems that do not work! Thanks BJA .

Congrats for making 7/8 beyond the arc with unlimited tries

Colin is also a hooper?? Love to see it!

I think it's funny you just now got around to that guy's channel, he is a good Blackjack player, he does it for a career but mostly just RU-vid now for the $ like the rest of us who were the best at the casino games we chose as youngsters to make our fame and back then Martingale was and sort of STILL IS the only betting system that you need to win just once to get all your money back + profit.

The production has gone up so much in this video. I love this. No one understands the basic fundamentals of statistics. Keep it up Colin!

I'm enjoying your videos, confirms all of the things I picked up from independent studying, old school casino veritas software simulations, and of course from anecdotal experiences. Perhaps I missed it but I'm not seeing a video where you go into detail about your counting strategy. I tried several but landed on hi opt II with an ASC against 3s and 6s. I used to side count 7s as well but found the scenarios in high counts vs dealer big cards and my 12-14 don't come up nearly enough to make it worthwhile, can still somewhat mentally assess those situations without doing a formal side count. I leverage about 20-30 indices, namely the illustrious 18. I use a 1 to 8 spread and I basically play anywhere except near the black jack hall of fame or MGM properties because the security is too good. Double deck min bet $25 or $50 with 2 hands at any given moment. I have done this for about 10 years and probably only lose 1 in 4 or 5 sessions. At one point I thought I could do this full time but then started getting backed off/flat betted/frequent shoe drops/etc. I guess working as a software engineer is more stable anyway lol

Martingale works. Can’t stay too long as you will hit a bad streak. It seems every time I first get to a table .. I win some hands.

LOL I liked how you took a deep breath before putting on the blindfold 😂

Colin, this is your BEST video ever! I laughed so hard with the “crossing the road” segment.

This video is awesome, every new video there is improvement of the quality. Thanks Collin and team. Saludos desde Costa Rica!

That's probably the most I've laughed watching one your videos. That's was nicely broken down.

Amazing vid. There should be a compilation of the drivers in their car when they saw you put the blindfold on about to walk across 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Love the cut aways, they make your explanations very engaging and fun!

Colin, So glad you mentioned "sampling bias". It's an easy way to fool people who aren't thinking. I've been guilty of it several times in the past. Recently, I came across a plethora of videos of quasi-celebrities playing blackjack at high limit tables and winning (most of the time). And as far as I know, they're not counting. But viewers are eating up their content. Is there an off-camera deal between the streamer and the casino to play a fake game with big money? To me it would make sense as it would give the steamer more views, and the casino free advertising and the idea that they have a the best blackjack tables in town, drawing more people to their games. Have you commented on RU-vid and Twitch streamers blackjack videos before? Maybe on another video or a podcast?

Very informative video. Love it!

Martingales not the best idea but does work with bankroll management and a achievable goal. Learning to accept the lost and walk away to play another day. No one can win every time they walk in but if you limit yourself and lose 5 out of 30 days isnt bad.

Reset part 😅 next level sarcasm 😂 this is eye opening video. Thank you brother ❤️

Love all your videos. This is really well produced.

Wait what! You make 7/8 3 pointers? Awesome 👍👍😎😎😎

Good to see someone giving the facts about these gambling systems. But surely $200 in ten mins is $1200an hour.

2:28...that sounds like just gambling addiction

Thanks, Colin. I appreciate you calling out the bs.

Colin and team, you guys are the best! Thanks!

Anyone who believes that 99.8% bum is either desperate or a fool. There’s a reason casinos exist and part of that is the bullshit this guy spreads. Any bloke who wants a crack at winning, you either need a decent betting strategy or commit the time to learn what this guy is gifting you. Personally, I count cards until I drink enough that I can’t maintain accuracy and then I go to a d’Alambert system. Being blackjack is an infrequent pastime that I’d rather profit from but don’t depend on, this works for me. Love your stuff, brother, and I respect you and your team’s talent! Keep up the good content!

Brilliant video!!!

I have 10+ loss in a row sequences what feels like several times a session and certainly at least once a session. Martingale definitely does NOT work.

"Hey bro I have a new system, it's foolproof" Me: "Is it the martingale?" "Nah Bro Check this out" ..... it's the Martingale

I really appreciate this vide and your research your a legend for this ❤️👊🏻 thank you for potentially saving lots of people potentially life changing losses ❤️ absolute legends

Good to see you active on You Tube Colin

I would love to see Colin grow a mustache

Requesting a button add to the BJA pro app. Please consider adding dealer push on 22 to simulate free bet shenanigans.

It looks like the comments on that video were paid for as well.

My question then is, if you aren't card counting, how do you vary your bet sizes at the table if only playing basic strategy...just randomly or keep bets the same

How long is long run? 1 year 5 hours a day is considered long run already?

Is it worth it to count 6 decks when they burn 6 cards? Also no you can't see the cards. Or am I better off playing 2 decks with 2 burns. Yes I know deck pen is most important. Thoughts guys?

All good and everything. But what is the point of counting cards if all casino's are using automatic shufflers. In my little country the few casino's we have use them. So there goes my goal/ dream to be an AP. Correct me if I'm wrong... ( and I do hope so very much) On the other hand I saw the series of Steven Bridges going to the States to counting cards. So there must be some land based casino's with enough deck penatration. Right?

I don't trust his channel, i saw a strategy of baccarat 99% winning and from 100$ to +1000$, i went to try the strategy in the same slot and doing the same thing, i won a couple hands until i lost all my bankroll. As u said he gets paid when people lose.

Years ago, my ex was playing the Martingale method, while I played basic strategy. It went as well as y'all would expect, she lost her buy in, and I eked out a small profit. The table stakes were $5-500, it seems to me.

That video has 250k views. What type of awful human being would make a video like that? I feel fortunate that I have a basic understanding of mathematics, and that I found this channel before I did that one! Colin, you are a legend sir

Pretty cool bro. Thx 4 all the good info.

Has anyone else noticed more 21 combinations lately?? Seems like I have been seeing more lately? Maybe its the shufflers working overtime? The shufflers know when they are missing a card so is it possible that the shuffler stages the card sequence?

The reason martingale is so popular is you win more often than you lose. The problem is you win very small amounts and when you eventually lose you get wiped out.

Is it a good idea to play two spots at the table? I see it all the time. It seems kind of rude at a full table, and I don’t think one could win more money that way

So , in order for this technique to work, shall i wait till the summary is positive, or shall i play low till the numbers go positive and then multiply my bet?

edit: I'm an idiot, Colin is right. He used 2.8% chance not 3%. I was confused and wrong. I don't know if I can trust your apprenticeship when the odds at 5:30 are all wrong. With a 3% chance of getting struck the odds of getting struck doing it twice is 1-(97^2/100^2)= .0591 or 5.91%. The odds of getting struck if you did it ten times is 1-(97^10/100^10)= .2625 or 26.25%. I can't even begin to understand how you arrived at your numbers.

I love how every Martingale promoter acts like they’re the first one to discover the scroll of truth.

Thanks for this video and for knowledge of other people i lost 18 hand in row .😅

Another Martingale death trap. Thanks for the video Frogger Jones.

Love the presentation.

This is a good video to just teach basic statistics in general

Well said. Ty

I'm gonna go outside and play some running across the street.

Guys question because you are the best in BJ. If you are playing by a casino and they offer you cash out option. I have 16 vs 10 dealer. Best way is to cash out on long term or hit? Stand is no option in my opinion. Also their is a variant where where all the dubbles and splits are free but 22 bank is a push! I know you don't like variants but is this a bad deal? So 9 10 11 are free Dubble and all pairs split are free also. Only card is 2 problem when they get 10 and 10 for 22 it's a push. I wonder your opinion in this matter thanks already. 😊

I’ve lost 20 blackjack hands in a row twice. One time included 2 blackjack blackjack ties. I started one session with 14 consecutive losses. Oddly enough, that ended up being a winning session.

Can the martingale system work in a very small deck game, like 1 deck? The rationale being that due to the finite set of cards, the odds of losing every hand in a single deck is low. E.g., if you lose on the first 3/4 of the deck chance are the count is really high on the last segment of the deck.

Martingale doesn’t work, trying to make 100 per day and quitting ahead doesn’t work either. On the 7th day what do you do if you are in a hole from the start? Those two systems I tried destroyed my bank roll

I wish you uploaded this a week ago, take this as a testimony i watched that video and lost my entire deposit, that 2.8% caught up to me fast

I don’t play martingale. I do have a somewhat unique style of playing. Knock on wood, don’t care if you don’t believe me, I haven’t lost in a session since 2016. I play about 5x per year

lol nice let em know my man!

Colin, do auto shufflers affect the EV for a casual player?

Step 1 - Be a Nepo Baby Step 2 - Be a Nepo Baby I appreciate your videos man and everything I’ve learned from them

Yo! Y'all ever try advantage playing slots? I'm guessing yes

That form though

I don't understand.. you say cards don't have memory, yet cars do? Surely everytime j run across the road it's still a 2.8% chance of being hit?

Just watched his video and right after that this video...i was sure what he was saying is not possible as gambler. Any thing possible when playing online blackjack

Nobody can do what i did online for real money one time. I turned 250 into 8k in a week through pure grit and determination. Started with 1 dollar bets. 3 handed. Surrendered 15s and 16s. Never doubled 9s. Never doubled 10 against 10. Never hit 12 vs a dealer 2. I grinded that stratedgy for a week slowly increasing my bets as the bankroll got bigger. Thousands of hands. Was averaging 100 an hour return. I put in the hours. It was real work. I got greedy. Lost it all.

Awww but I was so excited to risk $640 to try to win $5.

Not sure about US but all Asian casino blackjack table will put back the used card to the shuffle machine. Card counting doesn’t work in this setup right?

6:57 is a little misleading. With an infinite bankroll, you would never technically lose money on average

If you're counting and the count is getting higher would the logic on the martingale change in hopes for a blackjack or action hand? At least until the count dropped? Also taking into consideration heat from the casino. If they see you do that wouldn't they assume youre not an advantage player?

I like the voice of the other Video. Sounds like no Scam, where can i fill my Credit Card in? 😅

colin, When you srarted card counting do you remember how your nerves were? Would you say you were nervous or confident? I remember going to a casino for my 23rd birthday not to count but just to experience blackjack and idk why i couldn't bring myself to sit at the table. Sorry if that sounds silly.

hey so i recently started card counting and i was wondering when going to play at a table what is the best seat to play while counting or does it matter at all?

Where in Washington did you film you walking across the rosd?

I attempted to point this out in their comments before and was automatically deleted upon posting. They deserve legal action against them

House limits crushed any Martingale success years ago.

a chart and martingale and they make money?....ok 29.99 I'll sell you a chart and Fibonacci.....also you just have to find 1 min, 10 million max table...you cant lose 22 times in a row...lol

Just lose 7 hands in a row. Somehow still made a little profit thanks to your video

Martingale always be like "Just risk $5000 to win $2, bro, c'mon!"

Colin is like the white Larry Bird from beyond the arc… 😂👏🏻

Online Dealer here. I had someone get fully restricted after getting so pissed that their 98% win rate strat won them 0 games in 10 rounds. They were basically snapping at anyone and everyone in player chat that said that doesn't exist otherwise casinos wouldn't run standard blackjack. (table rules were hit s17, 3:2 bj, on spilt on initial 2 cards for anyone curious)

Thank You for making this video! They have a video entitled, "Baccarat Strategy: How to Win at Baccarat with 99.7% Winrate" which I will not be trying.

Is the basic strategy for Pontoon different than blackjack?

Variance alone isn't winning, basic strategy and counting create the winnings

I made an error in watched one of your videos while I was at a casino on their Wi-Fi I immediately got backed off of all comps. Thanks for the advice LOL don't don't use the casinos Wi-Fi and watch your videos.

Sup Colin

Do you recruit from your app?

that guy never lose 11 hand in a row =)))

I love how you use maths to blow his points out of the water
