The wisest thing you said in a long time. Oh, and here's a "lol" from me too. :grin: I just couldn't resist it. That's all from me...good night everybody.

I'm really sorry I reduced some of you to tears, and made the others sick of it. I promise not to do it ever again. Thank you all, and to all a good night! P.S. A nice violin...I hope you know where it belongs. ;)

For clarification, I only said I was betting 2 units throughout this horrible sequence, starting at TC of +2, and not raising it up (luckily for me) with higher counts, because I was losing all these hands, one after another. The whole point of this thread was to give an example of how bad...

I don't normally pay attention to how many hands in a row I win or lose, but this last experience clearly shows that anything is possible in this damn game. Just yesterday I played this 8D shoe game, the count was around neutral for the first few decks, and then it went to +2. I raised my bet...

My point exactly. I'm guessing he is one of the well known posters here, who uses a proxy server, and definitely brings some good humor to the board. Of course, I may be wrong. If I am, I apologize, but either way, KOLAN ROOLZ :laugh:

Oh man, that sounds so familiar: +100, +150, -80, +200, +70, and then BAM!!...-1200. So it's not only me, lol!

That is a good one...and so true, so many times :)

I may be completely wrong, but I always had the feeling that KOLAN is only pulling our legs here. As for the original question, probably the best thing to do is leave, without any arguing.

Very nicely said, ihate17! That pretty much summarizes it all. Unfortunately for me, I have to say that I fall into that 90% category of people who tried it and really never made it work, not with these poor rules in the casinos around me, anyway. I always wondered how many people here can...

I know exactly how you feel, as this is happening to me all the time. I almost feel cursed. Whenever I push out my bigger bets, I either get a stiff hand and bust, or the dealer finds a way to beat my 19's and 20's with 3, 4, or 5-card 21's.

Just out of curiosity, since they obviously know you are a skilled player, how do you manage to be a regular at that place?

Most likely, the only way to beat those CSM's, actually beat the living crap out of them, is using baseball bats. :grin:

I am far, far away from being a pro, but let me tell what my results are, ever since I started counting and keeping track of my sessions (about seven months ago). The percentage of my winning sessions is 63%. Sounds good...right? Well, not really. The much more important thing is your overall...

In my opinion, that is a stupid and pretty dangerous thing to do. How safe was she going to be in the parking lot, is the question she should have asked herself. But again, people do a lot of stupid things for money.

While I agree that the objective should be winning money, you can still get a few comps along the road while playing the break even game that SleightOfHand is talking about. You are still a winner, in a way. I know it's not much, but it is certainly better than just playing BS and losing. If you...

I'm almost certain that he's pulling our legs...but I may be wrong. :grin:

I'm pretty sure most people will not agree with you on this one, but you may have something here. Story of my short career as a card counter. I have not yet won a single shoe, when the TC was higher than +3 (hi-lo). Just getting killed at high counts, time after time. Looks like I'm the only...

I think you are making some excellent points here. Obviously, fatigue can play a huge negative role. Even though I am fully aware of this, playing tired is one of the mistakes I make sometimes. The effect of crowded tables is something I practically cannot avoid, unless I stop playing...

If you allow me, I'd like to rephrase the question a little bit: What are your max daily wins OR losses? In my case, unfortunately, my losses are typically considerably higher than my wins. Maximum I ever won in a single day was 30 units, my maximum loss was 80 units. Typically, my biggest...
