Of course you can! You better not wish me good luck though. :grin:

Any books that lay out the details of UBZ? Thanks zg. Oh and how much would my ev change, considering I currently play KO? Would I see far less variance? Perhaps a few tenths of a unit more per hour?

No, you re trying to give an opinion on the state of things and the point is, whether it's either or, or both it doesn't matter because we are incapable of being able to objectively say anything about it. I edited the post to include your position, but it doesn't change the weight of the thing...

I agree with that first quote. Taking a semester of Hume and then Wittgenstein has left me quite ambivalent towards these philosophical quandaries. I feel as though our minds have developed to associate one thing with another, despite the fact that our ability to truly determine whether or not...

Yes but isn't it wrong to address the first "selection" (which we agree is a non selection with our common sense) as a selection mathematically or otherwise?

Well sir! We are faced with an insolvable argument from definition. Seriously I have no qualms about math, but with an evaluation of "luck" as defined by the original post, we are not talking about the same thing. You are talking about math and I'm talking about subjective value imposed on...

Have you ever seen "What the Bleep!?" I feel as though this movie is an example of what I'm talking about. Analogies are helpful in explaining certain fundamental principles of nature; however suggesting that these fundamental principles actually influence phenomenon such as cards being dealt...

Was my thought at first, but luck carries different meaning than standard deviation, or variance because it entails value either good or bad. I get what your saying though.

Despite your unique style of play, you've always been helpful in your responses to even my most novice of inquiries. Thank you and good luck.

It seems that without peeking at the envelope, you have effectively not selected an envelope, therefore there is no reason to expect a change in outcome. Does anyone else agree?

Ok first of all there is no such thing as luck. Luck as perceived as a series of events beneficial or detrimental to someone is a subjective notion imposed by whomver is judging. "Good" and "bad" are completely human notions and as such works of imagination, not reality. They are explanations...

Thank you everyone for the advice. I may tinker around AC but ill stick to PA with those lovely rules.

I am new to counting and have only played once so far in AC. Frequently Im told that playing there isn't worth it and I was wondering how much playing in AC conditions cuts into your wins. More than that though there are a limited number of casinos in PA, about 6 or 7 that are close enough for...

6 deck 17s LS sound good?

Hah I figured it out Zoomie. Thanks. I was talking with other people about this and was wondering what your opinion was; as I will be playing reds with a 1-10 spread meaning a max of 100, I probably won't have to do too much as far as cover play right? Just sit in on a even or slightly...
