of course i didn't follow perfect b.s.
Oh, of course! Why would you? How silly of us to think such a thing!

I took a chance and it worked out. even if it wouldn't have worked out i still would have doubled my b.r. and left.
This time maybe, but what about the next time you start doubling on a hard 5 and end up losing all the money you won before, and then some? You made some very bad decisions and got very lucky. You should quit while you’re ahead.

so i figuar, out of all them, at least one of them had to know b.s. or they are all just old with money..
That is not a safe assumption. I have been playing BJ for over 6 years and I still have not seen another player who plays accurate BS in a casino. In fact, the old guys are usually the worst!

so my question for you zg is if you would stick with b.s tell the end, or if you would switch over to what seems to be working at the time being?
Well, I can’t speak for ZG (actually, I probably can in this case), but here’s my answer:
I would make the
CORRECT play every time. After all, BS is
always the correct play (unless you are counting cards). To follow hunches and make guesses is not the correct way to play - it is just mindless gambling. You can find wild gamblers making dumb plays all day long. Some of them might win but most of them will lose badly. That is exactly what we spend so much effort trying to avoid!
Sure, your plays may have worked out this time, but they won’t next time. Why would you purposely make the wrong decision? I don’t understand that. If you are driving down the road and approach an intersection with a stop sign but there are no other cars around, would you still stop? According to your logic you wouldn’t because you didn’t need to that particular time. Sure, you probably didn’t get into an accident and probably got to your destination a little quicker, but guess what…you
WILL eventually crash if you continually make the wrong decisions in life. And that one crash will be enough to overcome all of the times it worked out in your favor.
Life is all about making the correct decisions, and gambling is all about playing without having to rely on luck. You can’t be successful at either unless you make intelligent decisions.
