What do you consider profitable card counting

[E-town-guy]

These estimates as to how much you'll be making per hour seem a bit high, can anyone else corroborate them?

I was wrong!

E-Town,

I reviewed most recent book, "Play Blackjack Like the Pros" by Kevin Blackwood. Page 102:

"A ballpark estimate of how much you can hope to make card counting is to take your top bet and multiply it by 25 to 30 percent. This is roughly what you will average per hour of play."

$10,000 bankroll, $100 max bet, net per hour $25 - $30 per hour.

I apologize for that. Don't know where I got that 150% of max bet from. I'll do my research before posting again!

Exellent book, by the way. I strongly reccommend it for anyone that has an interest in actually winning more than loosing.

Copywrite statement allows for "brief quotations" incase anyone was wondering.

Blackwood's book was the first one I read, and I definitely recommend it as a first or second BJ book. Though $150/hr would be great $25-30 is still pretty good in my books...
