WHY YOU ARE A LOSER (AT BLACKJACK)

Consider it every day... >> 3. Consider ending your gambling career. We need to consider this every single day. Because if you can't choose to stop, you aren't choosing to play. I too am taking a break after a pretty bad streak. I am questioning myself (where the hell DID all those 6s...

Tired... Yeah... I am learning to deal with this. Max session length is 3 hours. But don't feel bad. I lost $2500 in the first 15 minutes yesterday. Grrr.

You can get zero cost closing... My HELOC is below 5% and had NO closing fees. I agree about the home prices, but the cost of moving and my low fixed rate also count for a lot. Here's hoping I don't regret that decision! Feep

HELOC Home Equity Lines of Credit are great. I have a completely untapped one for $75K. I don't use it to play Kelly, however, I would not say it was unwise to do so under the right circumstances. For a professional or high-level player, it is free liquidity without having to have money sitting...

Get a team together and wong the hell out of the eight deck game. Feep

No. I understand why you say this, but the hold card is just a card you haven't seen until after you make your decision. Imagine it this way: An arbitary number of cards will be dealt during the hand prior to all players completing their decision (including 3B). Let's call this number X...

Cashier's check in the mail! Oh this is so exciting.

Wong in when the count is > +4 and there are an extra two aces per deck. Feep

60 hours. 200 unit loss. 25 of them today in 90 minutes. Tough year indeed. 2003 was up, up, up. 2004 has been nothing but down. Feep

You're *supposed* to hit A-7 vs 10??!! Geez, that just doesn't sound right! (kidding)

This gets easier over time, but if I ever want to make sure it's six and not eight: "You have to shuffle all those together? How many is that? Eight?!" or, for an automatic shuffler: "Good thing you don't have to shuffle all those together! How many is that? Eight?!" Feep

Re: A better question- average RC at an open seat Keep in mind the dealer will always win more hands. Our advantage is made on the 3:2. Therefore the player's perception is probably not due to dealer winning more hands. Most likely due to: 1) Dealer pulling to 20/21 OR 2) Dealer pulling lots...

You seem to think the +/- count is simple so something should be added to it. For this "simple" +/- count there are, theoretically, about a thousand indices to learn. If you are going to examine your two cards and the dealers and then the remaining composition of the deck, there are probably...

If 31 of the people lied, then how do we know that all respondents even selected an age? I know this is _LIKELY_ but cannot be assumed. Your poll is flawed. AAHHH!! Whatever shall we do? Another OCD counter... Feep
