Exclamation Don't expect to win at Blackjack if you don't put in the time!!!

Don't expect to go to a blackjack if you haven't put in the time to really learn how blackjack works. If you never read a book or don't at least learn how to play the hit or stand game and get a 100% you will not come out a winner when you hit the blackjack tables sure you might win a hand here and there but over time you will lose.
In order to become a winning blackjack player you most spend at least 30 to 40 hours studying good material on blackjack. The history channel aired a show called breaking vegas blackjack addition this is a good show to watch to get started. You also should read some good books on Blackjack such as Playing Blackjack as a Business, and Blackjack Bluebook if you only read one blackjack book your whole life playing blackjack as a business should be it.
The next step that you must do is implement the stragedy that the book gives you I know that sounds obvious but I lot of players won't implement the proper stragedy. Lets say that you are dealt a hard 16 most players that play will cringe up and not want to hit that hand especially against cards like 7 or 8 but will hit it against a 10 which they should do just the opposite because when they fail to hit 16 vs a 7 it cost them an average of 12% of there bet when the fail to hit 16 vs 10 it cost them 3% on average and sometimes it is actually a gain to stay.

I don't know. You can make a lot of mistakes and still play a winning game. I mean you can play absolutely atroshous and still be +EV. You'd be surprised. But hey, that's just the nature of the game. I gotta get that Business book. I think it is the only one I haven't read.
