well i came back from my first trip to vegas (or any real casino for that matter) and my first stab at counting. All I can say is that I have a long way to go! I was kind of expecting the dealer to say "18" when my cards totalled 18, and hadn't really practiced the addition + counting, which...

has anybody tried pretending they don't speak english to shut up any schmoes at the table? I speak French well enough and so do my friends. Could we talk about the count and betting strategies openly in french without dealers in LV picking that up? Or if we get caught speaking english later...

Is this program recommended by anybody, or not recommended by anybody? I've tried the demo and was about to order, but their website seems kinda hokey and amateurish - is it reliable/safe? Are there better programs for a similar price? It seems a bit $$$ but maybe I'm underestimating.

i have a trip to LV coming up, and while I'll be suprised if my success is going to warrant it, would a casino ban me from playing blackjack even when I'm a registered guest? i'm staying at either Paris, Venetian, or Bellagio and not going just for BJ, but I figure if I'm there I should try...
