huius fori factus sum.... "Today I became a senior member of this forum." I can't believe it!! I woke up this morning speaking classical Latin and didn't even spend the night at the Holiday Inn Express!! But seriously, in the six months which I have been reading threads here I have picked up more knowledge about Blackjack the I ever thought possible .After I learned to count I was convinced I knew all I needed to know... Boy, was I wrong! First, I had no clue about bankroll management, nor did I have a solid concept of RoR. I would just bring a wad of cash and let the cards fall..Now I know why Kelly is so important. I have also learned some neat tricks regarding "cover" and, for the first time, implemented Wonging. A technique, by the way, which made the difference between winning and losing this past week in Reno. I would like to thank all of you guys for the valuable imput so
far. It's been great!!
Finally, just a few general observations about the forum. I've noticed that only a few dozen members seem to paticipate in most of the discussions. That's a shame. Many readers can learn something from even the "stupid" questions. Don't be scared. Zg doesn't bite.(too hard) and also, having spent the entire week on good old Viginia Street. It baffles me why the casinos are even the least bit paranoid about individual counters since there are thousands of idiots out there who insist on hitting soft 20's with a $200 bet out and a dealer 10. Go firgure....
As a last thought, since I am now so fluent, let me quote a famous Roman philosopher..."Pecunia lucrata bis dulcior quam merita est." Money won is twice as sweet as money earned.Yeah Brutus, you can use that tag line for your handle, if you you want.
