Happy to know that you realize I haven't ever won any significant money playing this game! :)

are there any stories or facts with card counters who walts in the house with a 1k roll and work it to 5k or 10k??
how many successful card counters are still active on this site?
I ran a shoestring BR into a 6 figure BR. I was really lucky that I didn't bust out. I just had the wins and losses stack up in a way that my BR didn't see sustained downswings.

Terribly sorry Don. Very unintentional. OR, maybe I thought it goes without saying that you have done well. ;) But again, my apologies.

to me the old japan saying rings true with card counting "only one way to find out"the sims are just that take cheating out of the equation and shuffle master does a fair random shuffle, and i don't wish to lose 10grand or 5grand followed by a back off good luck to everyone tho

You're a fountain of misinformation when it comes to card counting at blackjack. Even though I moved on from it long ago, I know with 100% certainty that it works. A properly bankrolled player doesn't worry about the swings. And who cares about a back off. There are casinos all over the U.S.

hmm, guess I need to add my two cents here. while I no longer play much blackjack (because I don't care for the relatively low advantage edit: & and find it relatively torturous to keep the count in my gourd for hours on end & stakes to high for my taste (even $5 tables), the variance sucks, gabby dealers that wont deal... :end edit) and I also don't use capital letters much. be assured I only have one id on this site.
also I can't seem to figure how the other fellow is able to post the word I without it automatically capitalizing.
just saying....... :rolleyes:

I started with a decent bankroll but I was never an overall loser, so I guess I could have started with a very small br and do very well.
I was very lucky on my first 2 years.

Sid wtf man? you log on here, create this post, gathered all this information on previous card counters and added up that its no good? how about you work 2 years save a 10k bank roll and count cards and if you do lose that 10k it was bad variance and fell into that 5% risk of ruin until then shut up and play your cards
enuff said

You don't agree with card counting? o_O It's not the easter bunny, or big foot or a unicorn. Card counting is a real thing, proven beyond a doubt by math. There really is nothing to agree or disagree with. This statement just sounds silly.

And No, you are not a clueless troll because of bad luck or a few bad trips at the tables. THAT is a routine part of card counting. You are a troll because you are using this very small and completely insignificant sample size to make a judgment on something you obviously know nothing about. If I walk by a roulette table and see the ball land on red 3 times, I don't assume it always lands on red. That is basically what you have done.

AND because you have not had a good experience (by your own admission) in your....again very insignificantly small number of experiences, you have not only decided card counting doesn't work (when mathematics proves that it does), but now compounding that by challenging experienced, successful players, that DO understand the game and how to win and have had success doing so. Kind of a "if I can't do it, then nobody can do it" mentality.

Well guess what, I can't run a 4 minute mile (maybe not a 6 minute mile :(), but I have seen people run 4 minute miles, so I know it can be done. And I am not going to suggest that no one can do it, simply because I can't. That's what you are doing and how you are coming across. And you have been doing it (attacking me) for 2 solid years on another site, that I didn't even participate on, so I couldn't respond, and now you are doing it here, to not only me, but other known successful players and members of this community.

I have sort of become fair game to attack, ever since a site owner in this community decided he didn't like what I had to say, and allowed people to attack me....which has spread to numerous sites. So I am used to it. :rolleyes: But I don't like you attacking other legitimate knowledgeable players and members of this community. That is why such good, successful players stop participating, so stop your little trolling, temper tantrum. :mad:

In the words of former White Sox announcer Ken Harrelson, "He gone!" (i.e banned, or in the parlance of the game, barred).

Glad the riff-raff is gone. Thanks.

When I first saw this thread, with a guy who never shuts up, I thought I was on a different forum. At least it was only one guy and not three (how's that for double entendre?)
