Sorry Sonny, I stand corrected. Sometimes I just shoot from the hip.

You're perfectly entitled to your opinion, and I respect that. Feel what you feel, say what you think - I've no issues with it.
Re the drinks every 5-10 minutes - they're not alcoholic.
Re the 2% edge - those are the only games in a casino that anyone should play (for recreational play) - I was simply trying to steer the average joe player away from games like Carribean Stud, Keno and the likes with high house edges attached. Blackjack is a 0.5% game on average for a 6-decker, assuming basic strategy and no counting... that's acceptable for the average player.
I do wait until about +4 to increase my bets. That's my personal choice. It's given me a safer shot at the casinos bankrolls over time. Maybe I've made less than I could have - but I've escaped barring at most of the world's casinos to date too. Bear in mind that when I'm playing FOR SHEER PROFIT, I'm doing so with an average bet of $200 - $300 per hand plus, sometimes for a few hours at a time - I want to be placing those larger bets when the odds are more in my favour. I don't like "borderline" positions like +2. Sure, if you're on a $5 table, jump for joy and go from $5 to $20 for the hand. But if I start going from $100 to $600, the pit knows something is up. And I'm also not willing to take that risk if the count is only just "borderline". Personal choice.
I do play CSMs if there is NO other choice available to me, as here in my local market. But I play low level recreational play only, and use a combination of basic strategy and bankroll progression against them. I maintain small spreads rather than wonging to escape pit heat and attention. If I p**s off the ONLY casino within 200 miles of my house, I'm blowing a revenue stream.
I'm not a slot machine expert. I just give a few tips on the blog to help the average player. Bear in mind, that's who most of the blog is aimed at.
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to write your comments, I appreciate it. It's clear you've visited the blog in-depth too, again thanks for visiting.
