I'm 21 and new to the casino scene on weekends. I don't have a car and have been using the bus transportation I have here in flushing that gives you $40 in match play and $15 for food. You can't beat that. I guess I'm a recreational player but I'm enjoying spending a day there (10 hr total trip)coming home with double or more what I went with. My bankroll isn't more than $100 the last two times. Been there a total of 10+ times win/loss on slots and roulette. But played blackjack about 3 different times now and have come home with $200+ profit without basic strategy I just heard about (I thought it was just experience).
I guess you can say it was just luck or other players/dealers helping me at times. So my point is I like blackjack and want to depend less on luck and feel the thrill of winning because of skill. I know we can't win everytime but hey if I can get this so called edge over the house you got to be winning in the long run right?
Anyways I'm planning to go on friday so I just want to know what to do to begin the blackjack journey. Learn basic strategy first and implement it to see how that works? Should I practice counting cards now and try on friday? Just feeling a little overwhelmed by all the new terms and since I only go to FOXWOODS for the timebeing I want to know if there's anything I need to know when playing with the eight decks they use (worse than 6 decks?why though?can I still have an edge?) Alright thanks.
