I haven't wasted any time, because I love the game of blackjack and I play almost every day (mostly on Casino Vérité). Ok, I know I will never get rich nor earn my living playing, and quite frankly, I'm not that interested in making money off blackjack (but I certainly don't want to leave much money behind either), I simply play for the love of the game. Ever since my older brother showed me how to play vingt-et-un (21) I was interested. Every now and then I spend some time brewing up a new progression (it's an intellectual pass-time).
Counting, I know the principal, but honestly, I do not have what it takes to count (I'm ADHD and lack the discipline and memory) and I'm also afraid it would take the fun out of the game.
Question for counters: do you still have fun at the table? Maybe I'm wrong.
I will read the posts Sonny suggested because I'm not closed minded and I have an interest.
For those who would like to try my latest progression (I'm not selling anything, don't worry), please PM me, but only on the condition that you try it out seriously on Casino Vérité (or the equivalent) or simm it and either PM me the results or post them here. Let's have fun or a good laugh.
Cheers from Canada, eh.
