I have a thought...

#1
I am cc for some time now with many many hours practicing at home every day(reading, watching videos,play on-line and off-line cc etc). I hit the tables now and then and i have noticed something that maybe be wrong but i would appreciate some opinions. My BR seems to follow a wave function around my zero point. So every time i just have to wait until it is reasonably above that and then i walk out a winner. I am generally a new AP so the times i have visited casinos are not statistically sufficient.

What do you think?

All Play is Continuous

However,
If you leave when ahead you will have many small to moderate winning sessions and a few moderate to large losses where you cannot dig out due to time limits.

Over time you will be closer and closer to expected results.

I suppose you can say that your $ Won results are like a wave, however, it is not periodic and definitely not sinusoidal, so trying to extrapolate any kind of significant information from the shape of your "waveform" would be useless. (I always felt this way about stock prices as well i.e. "head and shoulders", but since a large number of people believe in it, and people being the movers of the stock, I suppose it may be relevant)

I'd be very concerned about the fact that the cards in your local casino have become sentient beings with a memory and knowledge of the passing of time. Clearly this has happened since it is the only way that the amount of time you choose to take between shoes (be in a minute, day, week, month) would bear any relevance.

I would contact the CDC and suggest that they exterminate these cards before they evolve into something even more terrifying.

I have to agree with the other commenters unless you are following other than a typical card counting routine. If you are unique in your style of play, try to run a simulation on what you are doing.

My gut is that you will not continue to get the same results, simply because of the vast number of random shoe arrangements you can encounter in the course of play. It just seems intuitive that no one system of play could level out all these possibilities session after session. But then, I have no scientific basis for my thoughts.

The average gambler sets win and loss limits. We are professionals. Time = money for us. The only way to win more is to play more. Trust me, if my first shoe is a hot shoe and I'm up $400 in 15 minutes, I would feel like leaving, but I tough it out and stay there as long as I have planned, knowing most likely that I will give the money back. But as I play more hours, my accumulated EV will be greater.
