Hello

I usually play DD using K-O count, but I was the one knocked out... I try to to use an ace side count too and  the K-O prefered indexes. Recently I have heard of a Lucky Ladies strategy. Does it works with a unbalanced count? I would appreciate if anyone could help me with this.

Indeed, few - if any - games still beatable. El Cortez has good rules and I never had any heat at all.

What about baccarat? Last week I read an article from Bill Zender exposing a method employed by "advantage" players consisting in a shuffle flaw, where it is possible to see the cut card and wait for it it. Seems it is worth to play the entire shoe waiting just for one card to have an advantage of ~15% (if I am not wrong).

I haven't heard anything about the strategy for Lucky Ladies, but it would have to be damned good to beat the high base house edge.  I'll be curious if anyone knows about it.  I also think there are different versions of Lucky Ladies (i.e., different pay schedules), and I know that the number of decks usually affects those side games.

I've never bothered with the ace side counts, brain is too old.  I'd think another side count for a side game like Lucky Ladies would kill you (unless there were several people playing).

What casinos do you find the "lucky ladies" bet?  I did see it at AZ Charlies Boulder a couple years ago when I was on a cheap 29.95/night stay but haven't seen it in any of my other places I play.
