What went wrong?

214me.....

I've been using this website for two months and can safely say that this site and the people on it have saved me a heep load of money.

You have two options you can either take some of the remarks on here in a positive or negative way (excluding any derogatory remarks!). As wether you like it or not what most people are saying is correct in that if you continue the way you are then it's a mathematical certainty that you will lose money over the long term!Yes you may be lucky here and there but believe me the casinos edge will eventually catch up with you!

Knowing Basic strategy is a good start and the next step is to learn how to count, as if you can't count and raise your betting according to the count then you will only lose money at this game.

Please refer back to Sonny's email regarding some useful links as well as using the blackjack school on the left of this page.

Good luck!

Hey 21~4~Me, I don't think you ~ like you said ~ truly appreciate any input/advice. (You just didn't want to hear accurate, sound advice.) I'm sure I'm not the only one here that was once just like you seem to be right now. Your ID response :laugh: shows you got some spunk, so hang in there, brother. Just remember that old football coach saying: When the going gets tough, the tough get going. It's Study time.

Now, if you're not getting it from the printed word, maybe this image might hit the spot. (That's you there, pushing sh*t uphill, with your current approach.) Drop the rock and do something smarter, unlike 99.9% of casino patrons.

Hey, Katweezel, that looks exactly like my last outing in Las Vegas. As luck would have it, I reached a plateau just ahead and was actually able to cash in ahead of the game. When the going gets rough, sometimes the tough get tired, that's what I always say. Next trip I do not intend to let that penny-sized pebble grow into a 2,000-pound boulder. lol :laugh:

I am reminded of the old saying:

right on, grasshopper!!! :whip:

The disparaging post (deleted along with a number of others) that I made was because I believed my namesake was a troll. The personal details included by the OP were just too extraneous to be legit. "Her" responses to valid, helpful information were so defensive as to foment more discord. To those of you who took offense to my post, I'm sorry, but I made them in what I thought was the spirit of the original post - a joke.

I can accept poor judgement in this instance - i think you were wrong about the OP, as she has not returned to cause more trouble, i doubt she was simply a troll, but i can also see that the situation could be interpreted that way.

RJT.

Real Nice

"Cause More Trouble?" Are you serious? I never came on here to "cause trouble." I came on here for some advice and instead of getting some advice I got personally attacked.
I have not said anything else because why bother. I have been given some actual sound advice from some very nice people and I have followed that through and I thank those that responded positively here and in PM.
21forme I truly hope that you have some strange unusual name instead of a common one like Tom or John because it just drives you crazy for someone to have a name close to yours. My goodness it's just a screen name but hey you run with it.

rough crowds

I guess we are a rough crowd here to say the least but casinos and gamblers are just that. Most people who are new to this site ask some mundane questions but that is what this site is about. People come here crawling and hopefully they stay and learn to run the marathon. I didn't see the attacks on you but I don't think anyone really means it since this is a public forum. Besides there are alot of other sites that would tear you up far worse for asking simple questions. I hope you stay and learn and continue ask questions as they come up.:grin:

oky doky

21-4-me,
Hmmm so i have read the posts and some mistakes have been made by some of the regular users of this site....
I thought this was a joke also when i read the original post... 21 u have to understand and if you spend anytime on the internet know the scammers that are out there... I mean who hasnt been scammed at least once???
99% of us on here take AP play seriously!!! Your handle is quite catchy and clever ..... ergo a slick scammer....
We love our site here and want to keep it clean... That is why some posts have been deleted....
I hope you can understand where the boys have been coming from...Protecting the turf so to speak...
We have all types of personalities on here....
Please hang on here with us .... you will learn alot .... But you have to also put up with colorful people... Everybody tries to help in their own way..
Some will apologize some will not....
Lets get back on the right foot and start over..... I bet if you were to repost your original post or a follow up....your opinion of this site would be alot different... There are GREAT people on here....
At least you have made an attempt to understand what has happened in those thieving casinos.. Millions have not!!!!

Machinist

My real name is Rumpelstilskin. They have a tough time fitting it on a player's card.

Nothing you do drives me crazy. I find this thread entertaining. Thank you for starting it.

Katweezel:

You appear to be surfacing as the undisputed King of Attached Images.

Keep 'em comin' Brother!
