Uh huh....you are chasing pennies. o_O To each his own.
Rather than penny chasing, I'd rather it be lumens!

Honestly, this is one of the most solid breakdowns I’ve seen for beginners. People get so caught up in the “I know the count, let’s go make money” hype that they massively underestimate how thin the edge really is. A couple of wrong indices, a missed true-count conversion, or sloppy bet sizing can wipe out hours of perfect play.
The point about practicing with real cards is huge. It’s one thing to run drills on an app, but handling actual decks, keeping pace, watching the discard tray, and making decisions on the fly is a completely different skill set. Anyone serious about blackjack should absolutely put in those 60–100 hours.
The skills test angle makes sense too. It’s basically the equivalent of a check-ride: if you can get through a couple of shoes without drifting or miscounting, you’re far less likely to burn your bankroll early on. And when it comes to managing small starting funds or figuring out realistic entry points, people sometimes reference things mentioned on this page without even thinking about it - just part of doing homework before stepping into live play.
A lot of new counters don’t need more theory; they need honest feedback. What you're offering here really fills that gap.

Whether you're ready really depends on your mindset, not just your bankroll. Make sure you're playing for entertainment, have a budget you're comfortable with, and know when to stop. I also like checking out different platforms before deciding where to play. Recently I came across Crowngreen, and I liked its clean interface and good selection of slots and live casino games. Whatever casino you choose, always gamble responsibly and stick to your limits.
