    Ok this is in relation to the fitz, blackjack 'cheat sheets' are freely available on the net, they basically tell you how to play the cards that your dealt in blackjack when the dealer has a certain card,these cheat sheets can decrease the casinos winning percentage a bit so they only have a slight edge over you, would it be out of line to bring one in and play? do you reckon they would not be impressed, as im pretty sure its not illegal to use one at the table

    I am pretty sure you would be thrown out. I think you are suppoesed to learn the cheat sheet, even then if they get the idea that you are counting cards I don't think they would be happy.

    I know people that bring them in but to be honest with you theyre easy to learn and its not cheating its learning basic strategy you shouldnt play unless you know it

    Card counters will get asked to leave but thats a different thing to so called cheat-sheets (which are nothing more then crunched probabilities).

    They reduce the house edge to something in the 2-3% region, something akin to Roulette.

    I would imagine this so-caled cheat sheet is just an outline of basic strategy and most good blackjack players would/should be using basic strategy at least.
