Once again, I love hearing how hard work and dedication allow people to defeat the casino especially in a game with public information.
i recently heard this episode with lone wolf on youtube , i wanted to get make sure i understood correctly his index with Spanish 21 , did i hear correctly that ace he counts as -2 and 5 as 1.5 and starts with a running -2 per deck ? i replayed it over and over and he says tc but then says rc and wasn’t sure which . thank you
