Casino Verite

I own Casino Verite Blackjack- a great product! I want to purchase simulator software.

CVCX $85- this would probably suit my needs, but they also offer CVData $160 (more advanced, more options).

I'm an amateur counter. Any feedback? Thanks!

I've been having the same debate with myself for several months. I have compromised by not getting either of them :)

I think when I finally pull the trigger, I'll go for the combo - get both for $195. However, there is a problem in that they are only Windows-based (I'm a Linux user). I have tried searching around the internet to see if anyone has gotten them to run successfully under Wine, but the spotty reports I found weren't encouraging. On the plus side, he does offer a free demo, so I should really just download that and try it out with Wine.

Technically I do have a Windows XP installation running on a separate hard drive. However, I'm tempted more and more each day to wipe it. Also, XP is so old, that I wouldn't be surprised if future upgrades stop supporting it. I refuse to pay a red cent for any new Windows OSes...

Windows XP SP3 MS support ends July 2014

I actually owned V. 3.0 of both products mentioned for quite a while.

At various points the forum at qfit dot com has asked for suggestions/improvements. I did ask for a *Buntu edition, back in late 2007/2008. THere was no plans for a linux version then, and apparently not now either. It IS a Windows prreffered product. Full of the trappings. Remember to DC from the internet when using CVBJ and/or CVData. Theres no need for anyone to know what you're doing.

Why do you say this? Do you have suspicions that the software is phoning home with information about your activities? What would be the point of this? If Norm wrote the software to report on usage patterns, I wouldn't find that alarming at all, assuming the program tells you about it.

Windoze has a nasty habit of elevating priviledges. Open ports happen.
