This might seem like a stupid question, but how is practicing on this simulator different from playing real hands at the casinos? The reason I'm asking is because I used go to the casinos or boats, and play, won some money but then lost it all and then some, and I didn't want to learn to count cards, but I have devised a betting strategy that seems to work pretty well with the simulator. Is it a good representation of real play? Thanks for any input.

It is as biased on the simulator as it is in real play because of the small number of hands you played.

What would be considered a good sampling size? I have played over 3000 hands at about 10 different times playing and have won over 5000.00 using this betting strategy on the simulator. Just a little nervous trying it out in a real environment.

I don't think there is a clear cut number. It will depend on the strength of the strategy, but 3000 is nothing. No betting strategy alone can win in the long run. The only way for you to stay a winner is to quit for good when you are ahead.
