Ok first of , i didnt started counting because of the movies or because of 1 of the books .And if your not botherd in my experiences plz skip to the bottom of my post.
I started counting because Paul wilson said in an interview "that he was still regulairly playing in some european casinos and was kicked out" I was like huh ? Next question in the interview was : "What card counting technique do you use ?" he used high low. then i was like huh ? high low , does that mean that counting card doesnt mean remembering 300 cards.
So i ended up studdying card counting for that night, gotten through a deck in 50 seconds after that night. Following weeks i studdyd basic strategy, wich was quite easy during all my bus trips, and i went doing quite well actualy (im in to weird stuff, solving rubiks cubes etc)
Then i was horrified, a small month of perfecting i came to knowledge that in my country they use CSM's on all tables realy pissed i trew everything out. Forgot most of the vital stuff.
So then on my holliday in a country wich i shall not further disclose. there were casino's, alot of them. I was 2 weeks on holliday, 1 week to train , another week to earn myself a porsche.
Was that a fail or what.
My first day, the usual story you read on these forums: to fast of a dealer. starting money 50 euro, won 50 euro , so my bankroll was now : 100 euro. I wasnt stupid/ignorant though i knew that was all luck.
I went back to some more sunny beach hours of training , a deck in 30 seconds and more basic strategy.
Second day, i went quite well actualy counting was better (due to new dealer) but i didnt know annything at all about betting-spreads. won another 50 euro , bankroll : 150 euro.
third day, I was counting realy smooth now, found a new way to do it. instead of doing -1 0 -1 0 1 2 -1, i was only remembering in pairs, hard to explain but i only say -4 -2 0 2 4 6 etc. i skip the uneven numbers and remember if it was a bad or a good card wich is easy for pairing up.
I lost 150 euro , my entire bankroll.
My parents laughed ther buts of, i was pissed, and my sister still naggin me about it. But all that motivates me.
So now i am here 1 week at home, learnd alot already but still alot to learn.
My questions are now, what would be a good bankroll for a 5-100 table and what would be good betting-spreads?
