let me get off the main negative of the day and say that I am down $300:cry:. I had $80 of match plays and was up about $130 within the first 15 mins. But being that it's we have five hours in the casino ( went on bus to foxwoods.) I didn't want to just leave I thought I'd double up my $300 bankroll and call it quits. Now I know that at my level I should be satisfied with any profit and call it a day and observe or practice counting cards. I actually got blackjack two times in a row when I 'counted' (from what I learned), I observed got a positive count and divided by the decks I guessed remained and just had a positive 2 or 3 count and just wonged in. The losses came when I stayed at the table even when the dealer was getting A's as the upcard and glancing at the table it seemed like it was in the negative zone.
So I'm going again so I'll have $40 of match play, $40 that my friend will sell me for $20 and hopefully my parents said they'll meet me there if it doesn't snow here in the east coast, and they both give me their match plays so that's about $160-$20= $140 match play. I'm low on money and will only take $100 so since I"m going on an early bust tomorrow morning I wanted to know if according to all the match plays I"'m getting if it's probable that I'll win my money back.
p.s- it was a little embarassing using the basic strategy printout but I commited to memorize it on the way back. Tomorrow I dont care what it looks like I'm stalking the tables and scanning the cards on the table and wonging in on a positive count and leaving after a win (since I can't count and play at this stage) and repeat at another table.
Your advice would be appreciated thank you.
