Vegas blackjack card counting question

 JSTAT has answered questions at kingjstat@yahoo.com regarding card counting and casinos throughout the years. The Moviemakerjjcasino YouTube Channel teaches the JSTAT Count and here is a email question on how to play in Las Vegas.

Question about the JSTAT Count:
Hello hope all is good I have enjoyed ur utube videos. The last 2 months I got into black jack. Been studying basic strategy and the hi/lo count until I saw ur vids & read ur articles. Im planning a Vegas trip in feb.or march taking a bank roll of about $800-$1000 and the plan is to use ur method table hopping on the $25 min. 2 deck & 6-8 deck games w/good player rules. Is that suicide or should I play on lower limit tables until I get a bigger bank roll & more experience. I get the concept on the double deck game but the 6-8 deck leaves me a little confused cause r u still focused on leaving the table with fewer aces and a bad count? Cause my thinking is even with fewer aces but a good count basic strategy will beat the dealer. Thanks for taking the time to read this I really need to tweak my game before this trip. Any advice ia greatly appreciated. 

JSTAT's answer:
The ace side count is better suited for single/double decks and should not be used for the six deckers.  Use late surrender and play at games that stand on soft 17, re-split aces, double after splits at 6 deck games in Vegas. MGM Grand, Mirage, Bellagio, Aria, NY-NY, are among the casinos that offer great six deck. Learning late surrender reduces the fluctuations of your bankroll. Back count the six deck games and place $25 bets at true counts of +1 or more. The $25 bets should give you plenty of gunpowder to fire at Vegas Strip casinos with your 1k bankroll.

NFL/CBS "That's not f*cking holding!" fixed?

The 12/18/11 CBS broadcast between the Saint Louis Rams and Cincinnati Bengals contained profanity through the referee's microphone. Rams offensive lineman Harvey Dahl saying "That's not fucking holding" is another NFL malfunction mistake the FCC should investigate. No consent is needed by the NFL to provide this video to the FCC. Gambling could have also been involved. Dahl said in the video "I know you didn't call me for holding" before the profanity rant. It was probably the push at the end of the play. The referee fired the flag from the backfield 15 yards away late in the play to stall the Rams drive. The Bengals were favored 6.5 points and won by 7, 20-13. This phantom call by the NFL referee helped gamblers betting on the Bengals to cover. I don't bet NFL anymore. I am concerned that some games are rigged.
