Would someone kindly explain what this thread of sophomoric humor has to do with blackjack?
or even blackjack-voodoo betting strategies?
uhmm ok, how about supportive advantage stuff perhaps in conjunction with more or less conventional blackjack betting strategies, maybe?
and maybe not so conventional blackjack betting strategies in conjunction with other advantage stuff, maybe? or vice-a-versa...
whatever, yeah perhaps this stuff i started is a bit off base for this particular section of the forums.
but anyway, i've been reading a book about advantage play stuff, a person in conjunction with the book mentioned how blackjack advantage stuff, the stuff we discuss in these forums contains the essence (my words) of other advantage play stuff. sort of where, if you can grasp the essence of blackjack advantage play, maybe you can have a heads up for other advantage play in the wild casinodom (ok in just regular ole casinos).
whatever, just the concept of advantage, and if you want the quantification of it along with the concept of value and maybe the quantification of that, well it goes a long way far as getting over in the wild casinodom, just maybe with a little common sense and thoughtfulness.
point being, a thorough understanding of the nature of advantage and value, along with maybe a bit of math, then maybe you can be in a league with perhaps what generals of armies do, what businessmen do, what lions in the wilds do, that sort of stuff. the stuff that makes for success in competition, sort of thing, competition such as we might face in casinos, maybe.
maybe win that bet, between you and the competition.
i dunno, just me maybe, seems worth while thinking along these lines, one hardly hears much on the qualitative aspect of advantage, mainly the quantitative equation or formulas, with just that seems easy to miss the nittly gritty of what it's all about, sorta thing, maybe not, i dunno, to me it is anyway.
edit: yes it's 3:45am, yes we just got back from battling windmill giants in the wild casinodom, yes i'm rambling and yeah i'm having fun.....
oh, yeah, and aslan, i had a cowbird that came and sat and pecked at our picture window for months on end, while we were stocking our birdfeeders......... does that count for a sort of a black swan? we didn't open the window cause we didn't wanna let the darn thing in. what ever, it was cool.....
