a stop win action, yah, no advantage per se in the long run for some strictly followed plan of action that say mimics some simulation that either affords an advantage or not. qfit's showed that :
http://www.blackjackincolor.com/useless1.htm ... errhh well i think he alludes to the point that it can be relatively harmless if one doesn't quit advantageous situations.
but you allude to efficiency in this post
http://www.blackjackinfo.com/bb/showpost.php?p=205804&postcount=32 as well as luck in the post above.
point being, errhh well just me maybe, but in some ways card counting just plain kind of sucks. it's slow as hell in most venues, variance is a bitch and the fruits of the labor really does depend upon the long run. some 'long runs' are shorter than others, depending on the game, i'll give yah that, but again, just me maybe, in general i think card counting kind of sucks. by that i mean, it can be one heck of a grind, one heck of a lot of work for a relative pittance, sort of thing. that said, heck, i might do it for the short term for a probable real advantage in the hopes for some short term luck, for a
reason.
heck, i dunno, maybe even do it long term, for a probable real advantage for a
reason. but again, card counting just isn't a very efficient money generator, imho.
whatever lol, i think anyone who hangs out in casino's long enough is gonna run into some fairly savvy advantage players who may be relatively short stacked and dependent upon their action today for their financial responsibilities today, sorta thing. at least in that sense, a bit of luck and a bit of street smart fancy footed reasoned action might be justifiable, no?
whatever, luck, should we be so lucky as to experience a 'significant' share of it early on in some AP venture, well just me maybe, i believe it can lend a short term edge, should one be savvy enough to wrangle their way into taking advantage of it.
i dunno, i guess what i'm trying to say, is theory is great, but how one uses it, ie. some sort of thinking process and strategy might to help matters some.
