is it actually riskier to play safe than aggressive at blackjack...? all comments are greatly appreciated

p.s. i have a deadly combo of doubling down on 12-13 and leaving the winnings on the table from the high 20 or 21 when i get and 8 or 9 and then adding more chips to that for the next hand and getting a high hand..which basically triples my money count....most people would stay on 12 13 and lose then get the high hand break even...

Sounds like a DEADLY combination for sure. I would be aggressive with bet amounts at the right time and never make incorrect plays. As to "leaving winnings on the table", I prefer to keep my winnings (and buy-in amount) in my pocket as much as possible and NOT in the chip tray.

Don't let math and statistics get in your way. I suggest you keep doing that and report back in a year or so (well, that is if you haven't sold your computer by then for food)

I see gerry is still on the voodoo trail of: "What just happened has some
influence on what is going to happen". (big hands follow stiffs)
