I sometimes go to (Dead link: http://www.blackjackapprentice.com). But since most activity is (was) here, this was my primary lurking ground. Guess I'll be at BJA. Same username over there. Thanks for a great site.

Does anyone use this? If so, is it worth it? I've been using CVBJ for a while now and I do like it. Not sure if BJVT has anything that would help me. I like to have several tools available for me. But I don't feel like wasting $100 to activate it and $20/month if there is no benefit.

Just open this page in a web browser and play in a loop. http://www.freesound.org/samplesViewSingle.php?id=51686 Then maybe add some of your own music on top of this.

Go right for the iPad app... iPhone is way too small.

Thrifty all the way in Vegas. I pay for the cheapest car, around $14 per day, and usually wind up getting a Ford Focus.

OK, perhaps I expected more. The acting was high school quality for sure. It passed the time... Now I need a good movie. Maybe Nightmare on Elm Street later at the Palms... :devil:

OK... I quit! Thanks for the head's up! :laugh:

OK. What casino and where?

My initial goal is to not make a million dollars in BJ. I am intrigued by the numbers. I used to "gamble" and many times I got lucky. And I wasn't even playing basic strategy. I would gamble with $2500 per night (to me that's a lot of money). Some of my hands, with splits and doubles, were...

Very interesting story... Thanks for sharing it. Now I have a question for you about your comps. Don't you feel you lose your anonymity when you use a player's card? I mean, these aren't the days when you cannot get one without a driver's license, so if one is using a fake name with a...

What's the "published index"? Is that considered Wong's indexes?

I'm starting to feel that way too...

So what do you think is the best deviations to learn forst? Illustrious 18 Catch 20 Something else? One thing for sure. The indexes that are on another site that I visit (http://www.blackjackapprenticeship.com/resources/blackjack-strategy-charts/) do not match what is in CVBJ - which is...

Makes sense. I suppose that's what you need to do in order to get to a table on a busy night. Thanks for your responses!
