Heres a story from a few years ago I found on another bj website. I found it to be pretty cool, but since meeting the guy in the story a while ago, I find it even better. Old dog, new tricks -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have to...

Getting married at 18 is just proving how stupid and immature an 18 year old can be and you can't get your head blown off if you're not in the armed forces. There is a hell of a lot more 18 year olds out there doing nothing then there are dying for their country. If you enlist in the service...

No disrespect to you Mr.Monkey but this is more of how I want to play the game. I'm sure you are an excellent player and I do enjoy reading your posts, but I need to be the kind of person who does the best I can at everything I try to do. It doesn't mean I have to be the best because I very...

I pretty much agree with AM and rhino, but would like to add that me personally, thought I wasn't making as many errors as I really was. I can count down decks quick and perfect, and deal myself multiple hands through a few shoes without much trouble at all. But what I didn't realize was that...

Yeah man its an eye opener alright. What I find amazing is there really is a different level to counting even if you are using the same counting system. Its easy to read up on the stuff, but to actually do it and I mean do it right is a whole different ballgame. I really feel now that all I have...

I had the best day in my blackjack career today and I didn't win a penny. I sat down with a real pro and really learned how to count cards today. I have been playing for about a year thinking I was good, I was wrong. I could count down a deck in less than 20 seconds so I thought I was cool with...

I agree that they were better funded but who says everything else was better. Even if it was I don't think the results would vary that much from a good player with a million dollar bankroll and a great one. They're both should win money in the 1 to 2 % range right? And if there recruiting...

I agree with you but thats not really my point I'm getting at. What I'm saying is as far as those that really know how to count, what makes the MIT teams better than them? If a successful low stakes counter was given a million dollars wouldn't he be the one everybody talked about. Instead of...

I was wondering about this recently. Since I have been reading this message board I have read about some fairly successful people playing blackjack with an advantage. The only difference I can see is that these people don't have million dollar bankrolls otherwise they would be making as much as...

Is there anything that I can do as far as drills and training that could help get me ready for giving shuffletracking a try? I read about cutting shaded packets, is there anything else that might help?

Thanks for the quick reply. Class is in session. I know the shuffle I'm talking about the dealer only riffles the packets once every pass. And I have done my practicing with my shaded packet picked last. I like the math you give to figure out betting, how come you don't recommend it and what way...

Alright I have more questions. First off I want to say thanks for you guys answering all my questions. Secondly I want to say I have been practicing with shaded cards the last couple of days and found what Bojack said about the 1/4 deck on the bottom of the discard tray is right on. I have been...

Alright now I am a bit confused. After all the smoke clears on this thread I have the question can you shuffletrack or not nowadays? I was thinking about buying Snyder's shuffeltrack cookbook but am under the impression that its a little dated now, is this true? Is there anything I can do to...
