This is sadly has come to end shortly, not we have lost any money. Just my friend will be heading back to canada due to his commitments well his girl friend really (Bastards hoes before bros!!!!). But no doubt i will continue with the whole blackjack game, after travling to different city in the UK. Is defo worth it!
Conclusion
The fact is that we have turned £2000 into £10,000. We both didn't have a job, so all of our living cost also came off that, and we have spent around 2.5k to 3k. So ending with 7k in cash is not a bad result. (made around 2k in our recent 2 trips!)
My sole feeling in this is that, it takes a very strong trust worthy friendship to do this together. We never had a respectable bankroll to start off with, but with playing 60+ hours per week, we did even out lots and lots of variance. Still remebered from out first trip we played 8 hours str and lost £400, luckily for us we have a hate losing approach went into another casino and played 36hours str to get out money back.
Anyway, we both stayed with out parents and paying minimum digs money (or rent money other might call it), we did get extreme family pressure everytime we would leave the house and to come back 3 days later. The hardest thing is going back after a big lost, what do you tell them? All we get is "we told you so bla bla bla", is hard when this is coming from your own family.
For anyone to start this full time, serious this will be hard to do it by yourself! I was lucky to have a friend that i could trust with him having all the money and vice versa. Why is it hard you might ask?
Who supports you when you have lost 10 Max bet in a roll? Who to share the funny story on the table? And the constant reminding of ourselves that we ARE playing a postive game is a task on its own! No doubt is doable, but with a combined small bankroll i do HIGHLY suggest have 2 is better than one!
To the good side, apart from the money, there is NOT one single boring trip, each trip always i mean ALWAYS that have something that would die in laughter! The past 7 months, could possibly be the best 7 months in my life ALSO the hardest 7 months i ever worked in my life. Could we possibly say we are 2 accomplished card counters? Probably not from the little we made, but i can say, during the 7 months hard to find someone that played as much as we did, there is nothing we haven't been through, e.g. moving from £4000 to £700. Losing £1500 in one shoe, all sick moments but we kept out believe into the numbers!
Anyway i will continue playing sololy, but i doubt i will be playing as much as we did. But no doubt we have plans we would gather a much bigger bankroll and attack certain city!
Hope you all enjoy reading this thread.
Thank you to everyone especially one that has ever replied to any of my questions!
