I won $125,000

How much have you lost using this system?

Every session can't be a winner and how much have you lost when that losing session finally hit?

Sounds to me like you won more at Roulette than BJ.

Sonds like a wiiner!! Since you can't gamble, drink etc. in your culture, it's a priority in ours. Just send out invites to all the Senior Members here and will give you a party you'll NEVER forget.... I can just see it now. Sonny dealin' BJ to Zg (after his opening meditation) the Monk spreading from 1-100, throwing his peels all over the place. Ken starting a little Tourney in the back room and Mike(the beverage coordinator) passing out his family recipe hooch along with some "home grown" vegetation!
Suggestions for "House Rules"
1) No PB's
2)All dealers topless(except men)
3)Under 21-welcome
4)Capt. must attend and give free BJ lessons
5)Pen.=95%+
6)SD, s17,DOA,ES
Invitations will be send to all of you after reaching $1,000,000

How long do you expect your good fortune to last IF you don't even use correct basic strategy? zg

Believe it or not, most of the time I win but this time BIG win.

I remember I won $24,000 then I lost all of them
Also, about $30,000 then I lost all of them

But this time I win BIG and I have it with me right now

About a year ago I was sharing a DD table in a high roller room on the strip with a guy who was definately just the kind of player a casino loves to see betting $5,000 or more a hand.
He would split 2's and 3's vs dealer 10 and Ace. He would stay on 13 vs a dealer 7, hit 15 vs dealer 3 and double 5 vs a dealer 5 and must have won like 20 of 21 of these strange plays. I am sitting there getting away with a $100-$1000 spread on a closely watch DD game for a much longer period than I would play (besies the larger than usual spread) because as far as I knew, the whole casino world was concentrating on him. He was up over half a million in an hour plus, while I was up perhaps 1 max bet and though I was up, I was honestly wondering why I could not have the unconcious luck this guy had.
The doubles were driving me slightly nuts. Not that I had not been through this before, but just in comparing my so called timing to his. I would double 11 vs a 9 or 10 and the dealer would always have it in the hole. He would split 2's vs a 10 and land up with two stiffs but the dealer would turn a 6 and bust, every single time.

He leaves a big winner and I decide I do not want to play heads up and color up (truth is I was playing too long at this game and to play alone meant they would be now looking at my play if they had not earlier) Pit comes over and I remark that that guy was some great blackjack player. Pit tells me that the guy has probably dropped several million there in the past year or so.

So for a given period of time and betting enough money, any strategy or lack of strategy can and will win but over a period where variance levels off, this guy lost millions.

I never enter a casino with more than $2000 of my own money and I said my winnings is all the time more than losses

Yes you are right, after reaching about $55,000 i switch to roulette and win more. I think about 65-75% of the winnings are from the roulette but the BJ gave me the strong base to play roulette

Take the money and don't go back!
You've had a very luck run. If you keep playing using your system you will lose it all back and more!
Big wins inflate the ego, and it's easy to convince ourselves that because you've had a big win, you're a great player. This simply isn't true. Good luck can hit us all at one point or another.

I'm not interested in the system anymore. However, I AM interested in what it's like to gamble in Cairo.

You mentioned it was against your religion to gamble. I'm guessing Islam? If so, I wonder how many locals were playing in the casino, and how many Western tourists?

I second this. Before I discovered card counting, I donked around at home with some stupid system of my own. Basically, go with guts, play all the spots on a table, and split/double vs. ANY dealer 2-6 on ANY hand that coun't bust.

It seemed like it would work, since twice I converted my starting $300 into over $1,000,000 (by basically risking it all and getting lucky, then increasing the amount I was playing with). Hitting a lucky streak pays of BIG time. But then compare that to the hundreds of times I busted out that same $300.

The odds are against you. Improbable doesn't mean impossible, of course. After all, anyone CAN win the lottery. And in fact, doing some dumbass system probably has better odds of hitting $1mil than the lottery does. But a lottery ticket only costs $1. ;)

If you hit a lucky streak-- say thanks and run. Accept the luck for what it is. Although it toes the line of "gambler's fallacy", if you keep playing, a nice big lose is, statistically speaking, in store for you. =)
