Question

Okay heres the sceniro, I have taken in 200 dollars and have walked out with 100 plus what I took in about eight times, Okay so you have got to say my winning percentage is pretty good, lets not talk about my methoud, lets face it black jack is about the best odds in the house other than craps I think but I have no idea how to play that, anyways, so im thinking why not up my money I go in with and walk out with more, so im thinking about moving up to 500 and walking out with 250 for now but I keep having visions of taking in 5000 grand and coming out with 2500 on a 10000 limit table, only if I can play my game and see the chips as chips, also start with same number of chips ie when i play with 200 i have about 20 chips so if im going for say 500 i want to use 25's so i have the same about of chips, anyways has anyone got insight in this, im thinking the best thing i can do is take baby steps ie win with the 500 maybe 6 or 7 times, slowly move up any advice or anyone been down this road

Answer 1

Youre thinking is exactly what the casinos want you to think. Its never the same scenario twice. The best thing you can do is leave while ahead whether its 50 dollars or 50000. Even though it does have the best player odds it can turn on you and you can lose everything. I won time after time back in 2002-3. Into the hundreds of thousands. Then it all came back and I lost all.

Answer 2

You won money one particular time you played blackjack, you are getting overly excited and WAY overly confident in yourself.  Im just goign to set a few things straight

When you play blackjack, you are at the mercy fo the cards, whatever betting system, playing strategy you used did not "work or not work" for you that particular time, you just got lucky and won money.  This has no correlation to the game of blackjack and its odds whatsoever, nor does it even suggest one,  blackjack is a very "streaky" game as some peopel liek to put it, the house edge is there (though it can be eleminated) and even after playing 10-20k hands you still may be very far off from where the house advantage says you should be.

Bottom line is dont get yourself too worked up over winning one time, for one you got lucky and for two, when you do lose, you getting all worked up over it will make it more emotionally devestating.  There are two types of blackjack players in the world, those that lose money, and those that make money, you are the kind that loses money.

If you want to win money playing blackjack you need to learn to count cards, buy a book on it or if your too cheap to do that you cna get SOME information on the web but its not enough information to beat the casinos, just a glimpse at what card counting is.  Hers a good link: http://www.qfit.com/blackjack.htm
