Hello everyone,
I am a new comer to these forums and card counting in general. I believe I have yet to post on these forums so I guess I will make this my intro too. I am 22 and learned about card counting by watching the MIT Blackjack Team on the History Channel over a year ago. As I turned 21, of course, I went to the casino and won a little bit of money just using bday luck and intuition I guess. Soon after that I enrolled my self to the Game Masters Online Course and began to learn the secrets of card counting.
In an over eager and unwise decision on my part I headed off to the casino thinking that I was good enough to card count and do all the 'needed' necessities to get the money. Come to find out I was utterly wrong. With little practice the casino took my money as if I were a just a mere drunken customer.
Vowing to regain my money last month I decided to re-enroll my self in the game masters online course and this time stick to it until the end or death do us part. I have started from lesson one again building off of what I had previously learned.
I am currently on lesson 6 and I practice Mon-Thus 10pm-1am right before bed. This is actually the first night in two week that I have not practiced due to a lot of work and things I needed to get done. I am currently learning Hi-Low and have just about masted my BSM. My current record in single deck break downs is 18sec but my average is 20. I am hoping to shave off a few more seconds by the end of the week
With all that said, I was just wondering which book would be best for me to ask for x-mas. I have heard of a few good ones just by reading though these forums but I was just wondering which one would help me the most learning Hi-low, having a casino in my back yard (basically), and plan to take a few trips to Tunica MS each year. I have yet to learn single deck because I want to master six decks first since it will be the easiest for me to practice regularly in casino.
Thanks to all for listening I hope to become better acquainted with you all over the next few months of my training and hopefully even though my success
