My goal for 2003 was to get into the long run ASAP and make a profit. So, I was able to get about 25 hours per week as a part time play. My first bottom happened after 250 hours of play and I knew then that I've reach the long run. The hole at that point was -100 units in one session and I was...

Mayor, you are great and certainly very educated in this field Mayor, you are great and certainly very educated in this field. Now, would you please go over step by step in simple terms with a real blackjack example of how to go about the CE and how to use the CE number before we get involved...

Don't worry about that dump place in Carson There are 324 casinos in Nevada with 420 Bj games. In the US there are 1098 casinos with 1129 BJ games and in Canada there are 51 casinos with 66 Bj games. So we have in the US and Canada about 1149 casinos that offer Bj games. If we want to be...

I would advise you to learn the Hi-Lo system with I18 indexes. That's all you ever need to play the game. Now, if you are interested to make money from this game then as Don was saying in his book: "Technical ability comes through dedication and practice. But most of all, this game takes an...

Re: How's the heat at that level Victoria, That's correct regarding the $1,500 hole. That was no hole whatsoever. My point was that I was not able anymore to see and handle cards and chips flying over the table. Now, the heat level was very loose because the other player was betting almost flat...

Fondly Victoria, I am with you 100% and I understand exactly what you been through. Let me tell you what happened the past weekend in Vegas with me: I was playing on the strip in one of the premium clubs there and my average bet was about $1,000 in one of the best double decks games available...

This is irresponsible First, you cannot split and then stand without taking at least a single hit card. I never heard about this move ever in my BJ career. This will be the equivalent of doubling down a 6,6 vs. 5 without taking a hit cart. The casino will not let you do that. Period! When you...

You cannot play at the pro level on 8 hours per day Well, the 250 hours of play are not to be accomplished in 1.5 months. You cannot play at the pro level on 8 hours per day. If you do that you will be playing less optimal. It is extremely hard to remain sharp 8 hours per day when you do it day...

If they don't get you in the beginning then they will not get you at all! The term of the long run in blackjack has got to be understood by any aspiring player that engage serious money into this game. I will define the pro's way of what the long run is and you can use the same method to...

Congratulation but ..., Congratulation but ..., No matter how much you won, you made a big mistake playing at 3:00AM after arriving there. It seems to me that you drove all night to get there and after all that driving you played for 8 hours. This is pushing the envelope to hard! Regardless if...

You definitely have OVERBET your bank You definitely have OVERBET your bank because the numbers don't add up. If you lost $4,500 in 20 minutes or the equivalent of 33 hands that is about $136 average per round to lost. Your average bet obviously was much bigger then $136. This alone it tells...

I agree with you totally about the bankroll. The bank has got to have the right number of average bets to get you even less then 1% ROR. Over 1,000 average bets will do a great job. For a bank of 100K I would say that a steady income of $60/hour is easy achievable even in a 0.60% edge if your...

This is the reason why: I already know for long time that there is practically no difference if you deliberately use the wrong index, off by one point or so. In live games I use half a deck estimates in 2D, not for any greater accuracy, but it is usually easy because of the few cards in the...
