It is replenishable, but not immediately. If I lost it all it would take a year or so to rebuild it fully. If I noticed that my bankroll was starting to slip away I would definitely adjust my bets (or playing strategy) to preserve an acceptable ROR. If it continued to slip then I might take a break until I could build it back enough to make a decent EV.

the above is what i'm in the process of doing. since i increased my spread from 1:8 to 1:10 wouldn't you know it all the luck i've had for over a year went south and i've had one disaster session after another.
so i'm now dancing with Lady Luck's ugly sister Lady Surebet (you know a job) to build the bank back up and i'm lowering the spread back down for a while.
on top of all that as an extra bonus my local joint did away with the comps that were such a big help :mad:

Yup, several ways:

1) When you toss the dealer a toke, miss and make sure the chip lands in the shuffler. Enough of these will jam it up, and they'll switch to a shoe.
1a) Instead of tossing the dealer a chip, toss them a small piece of well chewed gum
2) When the dealer isn't looking, steal the CSM. Put it in your jacket. If anyone asks, you brought the CSM in with you, it was like that when you go there. Without a CSM, they'll switch to a shoe.
3) Count anyways. Out loud. It won't work, but it should be good for someone's laugh.
4) Sit at third base at a full table. With a bit of luck, enough low cards will be dealt to get the TC up to +1, which might bring in an index play on your hand. Without doing all the calculations, I believe this will adjust the house edge by about 0.0000000001%
5) Take a few hundred bucks and turn them into singles. Give them out to the homeless around the casino, under the condition that they all go play CSM blackjack and play BS. Once you choke the tables with homeless ploppies, the house will have to open some more tables, some of which are shoes.
6) Ask the pitboss to turn off the CSM. (ha!)
6a) Ask the pitboss to turn off the CSM so you can count! (haha!)
7) Become a Hollywood-esque level mythical counter. Take the casino for billions. Then buy the casino. Then sell all the CSM on eBay, and enjoy some CSM-free tables (at your own casino, winning your own money...)
8) Count your chips. Then count 0.5% of them off and give them right to the dealer. Then count yourself out.
9) No. =)
Very funny reading! :laugh: Tho very sad :cry: I might not be able to count where i live :cry:
