Adding an advantage

Thats twice you've misquoted yourself. There is a word for people that do things like that.I'd go more into detail,but would rather ask you a simple question-Why are you still bothering to post here? No one takes anything you say seriously.We read your rants for their entertainment value,and that is fading rapidly.
Sonny picked up the guantlet and slapped you in the face with it. So when is this challenge going to occur?
Don't bother! Here's the only one you need to take:
The Blackjack IQ test
WARNING: Apparently the test doens't actually work anymore (it doesn't calculate your score). Just see how many questions you can answer. Sorry.
We should make up a new one!

One man's nonsense is another man's awakening. The said Madison,the Wibur brothers and Edison were wrong also.
Your assertion that everyone has posted (replied) with good intentions is the only non-sense I have seen. You say I attacked Sonny? You say that I am sweating the "small stuff"? You are comparing me to a child having a tantrum....and who's doing the attacking again? And I suppose that is a good intention? Yeah...okay.
That is fine.
And BTW...I have never "bragged" about how much money I have made at Black-Jack....I have simpily stated a fact. And since winning money is the only true measure of how we play....would that not be pertinent in this discussion?
Once again..... a statement I have made is taken out of context....let me say once again: "I prefer being at a table where the players are generally in a good mood. This is because it seems to me that I win more often at this type of table. I have stated this many times...but for some reason people seem to want to take that one statement and use it as if I were saying it was my advantage.
As for Revere's book...you are wrong. I read it again last night...the whole thing....just to be sure I wasn't mising something.
In Chapter one (The game of blackjack)...He begins: "You can legally bet on dominos in the state of Texas." He goes on to talk about Dr.Thorp, and how the casinos changed how many decks were dealt because of him (Thorp)...mostly this is an opinionated chapter that any person with a little experience would already know. Chapter 2-he begins: "Your first step to winning blackjack is to learn the rules..." This chapter actually has information that is usable, but again...there was nothing that I didnt already know. Chapter four discusses Basic Strategy, and his systems (10 count/plus-minus/revere point count)..... this is info that I didn't know completely (his systems) but on the advice of (you or ZG, I believe) , I decided not to concern myself with it.
My point here is that you infer that by me skipping through some of the chapters (thing I already knew) that I was missing out....well I wasn't (I know this for sure, since I re-read it...all of it).... but what really kicks me in the rear-end is this:
Where was this comment when I was told to skip the book completely? If those chapters that I had skipped were so darn important, then why are you not telling everyone to read it first?......oh yeah, that's right...it's out-dated......but then...why did you make your comment? OH...I know...good intentions...yeah, okay.
A 210 IQ? that would be something!
Once again...something I said in one of my posts is taken out of context: Subconscious counting...... I never said I did it... I said "I wonder" if I do it, or if it's possible.
Actually the Intelligence quotient scale was created for children , to determine what their "ability" to learn was. That is why they have always said that an IQ test is not accurate after a certain age.
Your IQ has nothing to do with your "current" intelligence...it is a measure of your ability to gain, and absorb intellectual data.
I suppose this is another "Good-intention" post, right? Okay...well here's my reply:
#1 I don't care if anyone cares what I have or haven't made playing BJ
#2 You are right, $1500 isn't a problem...but then again, it surely isn't a problem for all these people who claim to be so much better than me.
#3 You are a complete waste. (Now...that was an attack! )

Another non-attack I suppose? This must have been another "good-intention post"?!?!?!?
However...I have quoted the thread I made the original post in...So Mr. Shadroch, why don't you quit trying to get people to believe that you actually know what you're talking about, when in-fact (or at-least I believe it to be a fact) That you are a bored preteen who likes to make argumentative posts.
And BTW: Sonny didn't pick-up any Guantlet...but I will assist him in doing so if he really wants to. Sonny can PM me and I will come to "his" casino of choice.....we will both play at an agreed-upon table, and for an agreed upon time.
Now that would be "picking-up" the guantlet.
As for nobody really caring what I say..... again, your brain is out of whack! If nobody cared what I said...more to the point...if "you" didn't care what I said...then why in the world do you continue to reply? I know...the so-called "entertainment" value..... You are a piece of work.
Go back to the play-ground, where you belong!
Ok, i'm out *claps hands over the table*
You know Cap, i wasn't actually taking a swing at you, i was mearly suggesting to Sonny that i feel that it would be very difficult to simulate the kind of play you describe, with all the different non-linear factors. So in actuality, if anything i was sticking up for you in a round about fashion.
But you know what, you've yet to discuss anything that could even remoatly be proved as a winning system and i'm no having the blind attack me on the internet for no good reason.
RJT.

Just to re-set the record:
ZG.... I have no doubt that your question is well-intentioned, yet I don't think I want to re-hash the way I play, so that forum members such as Shadroch can spend time trying to tear me down....for his "entertainment-value".
I have never asked anyone to play like I do...nor even suggested they "think" about it. I only offered observations; and was attacked for doing so.
- I have never described myself as anything but a black-jack player....never have I used AP to describe myself, or anyone else.
- This thread was created to talk about the pros of an idea I had (see the beginning of the thread), yet people are more enamored with the idea of attacking me and/or my style of play....and then have the audacity to tell me that the posts were made with "Good-intentions".
- I outlined my style of play.....maybe it is just an unusual amount of good luck....or maybe there "is" something to subconscious counting...I don't know...but if it works for me, then I will continue to use it.

No.....and I didn't think that you were.....however, if you have read the other posts (I'm sure you have), then you know that people are using this statement I made in another thread, and assuming that I am claiming to use subconscious-counting techniques......when in-fact, all I have ever said was that I wondered about it.

See you did say you look for tables with happy people. The people on this message board just have said you like happy people and you say NO good mood - it's the same thing!!
You wanted to have a perfect counting system - which you told it wouldn't add much of an advantange. I don't think this was being attacked.
as far as you attacking me....that's fine.....I think I just saw someone in an Ohio State hat wearing blue jeans get the boot from American Idol...too bad i thought you were pretty good...
but serious:
Captain - Here is the million dollar question everyone wants answered: WHAT IS YOUR STYLE OF PLAY??? I have read all your posts and you have only said 2 things: 1 - look for a table with a people in a good mood (don't want to misquote) and 2 - look for dealer tells. Please tell me what I am missing.

My two cents!
Evening Capt, I know what you are talking about I think, and what happens at certain tables. There has been numerous threads from karma and other not so math based ways of gaining advantage at a table. I would say if it works for you that's great but for the gentlemen at this forum it's still voodoo. I have had certain so called tables that you talk about and all the way up to calling the next card out. Luck? more than likely,skill not,physic could be, but hey I like to think alot anyways. I hope you acheive what insight you are looking for and when you find the secrect to beat the tar out of casinos without really trying please tell me because I need all the help I can get. blackchipjim
