^It's true. That's why the slots pull in the most money for any casinos. People just go to relax and have fun and a little luck if they can get it.

lol!...theres no way to PERFECT blackjack lol. If you play at casino's that have automatic shufflers as soon as cards as delt and the hands are done the cards go right back in. So theres no way to tell whats coming out. About ur hitting, standing comment, sure u'd win sometimes but its all about instinct, u play in the moment. Countless times ive stayed on 16 showing a facecard, and sometimes it works out sometimes it doesnt. All depends. Counting is the easiest way to make a lot of cash if u have the brain capacity to keep numbers in ur head. Ive tried it but i havent perfected it cuz theres a lot of distractions in the casino that make me lose count. Textbook style playing is okay as a guideline but u shouldnt always play like that, atleast in my opinion

how are u gonna count cards from like 6 decks in the shoe?

blackjack lets the house win based on the player's greed...foolish bets, double downs, splits...greed is a son of a bitch

lol ohh man now ur gonna get me into it. Its all mathematics my friend.
what u do is use the hi/lo method (not gonna explain it). Then u divide ur count by how many decks are left. So if ur count is +12 and theres 5 decks remaining, 12/5 and then multiply it by how many ppl are playing at the table and thats ur "TRUE" count. Then u base ur wagers on ur count. Simple actually to be VERY honest its hard as hell! lol ... ive done it for like 2-3 hands after that im lost and theres no point counting wen ur lost cuz u'll jus end up broke. So u gotta wait till the shoe is over and the reshuffle then u can attempt it all over again lol

most casinos use 6 or 8 deck shoes. They say if u can count a deck of cards in less than 30 seconds u can count in casinos. I dont have time to sit and learn it properly right now due to school but as of the 22nd. I will master counting lol i am making it one of my projects for the summer hahahha

Im sure most of you have seen "21". Chk out youtube, "MIT's Breaking Vegas" thats the true story behind the movie and one of the best documentaries ive seen!
