Disaster! Tragedy! Can it be overcome?
Also curious about books you have read. Did you read Frank Scoblete's (see my post above) counting method? He claims it is the easiest one to learn. Charles

Good week-end
Whether one counts or not one is subject to the rules of standard diviation. You can count and win, or count and loose. Same with progressions. In the long run most gamblers lose. Only the best(about 2 or 3%) of counters win. All progression players…

The New Market Wizards and Blair Hull
Ed Thorpe was the founder and manager of a mutual fund in Baltimore for years after he quit playing BJ as a professional. Think, but not 100% sure, he sold his fund to Legg- Mason Money Management Co. a few years ago. Charles

Stand on H-16 against 10?
Fred Renzey, in BJ Bluebook, says to stand on 16 V 10 if your 16 has one or more 4's or 5's in it. A 16 v 10 is such a close call that a 4 or 5 in your 16 makes it a better % bet to stand than to hit. On all other 16 v 10's Renzwy sa…

Feel good! lazy man's strategy
Why do you people keep arguing with Alix? That is what he wants. Every board has someone like him. These people go from board to board stroking their ego and trying to stir things up. If you want to keep this board serious just ignore Alix. He will …

What Alix says he does is impossible. Anyone who has played BJ knows that. Why he is posting like he is I don't know, but if everyone just ignored him and he never got an answer to his posts he would soon disappear. Charles

Is Anyone Playing Full Time?
My wife and I play about 10 to 12 hours week. Retired. Use the A-10 Front Count. Play at the $10 table. Don't really make much money, but enjoy doing it and do a little better than break evan. Comps add a little more. I am pretty skeptical abo…

Progression or Regression?
Thomas You will eventually hit a loss streak of 10 or more. You can be sure of that. When, not if, that happens you will run into the house limit on bets and will not be allowed to double your 10th losing bet. That will happen with the Martingale s…

Winning Prog System that works all the times
Grifter I think with this method one would have to have a stop loss point. If not one would be wiped out at some time In fact I think a stop loss ehould always be used in gambling to protect against the inevetable long losing sessions. My wife &am…

Winning Prog System that works all the times
Grifter I just don't think it is possible to win with any method such as this one. It will work many times, but in the end a long series of mostly losses will wipe one out fast. If it was really that easy thousands would be wiping the casinos …

Winning Prog System that works all the times
Alix I was not asking about alternating wins and losses. It is when you run into the inevitable L,L,L,L,W,L,L,L,W that I am talking about. When (when, not if) that happens I don't see how you can help being wiped out with your system if you d…

Winning Prog System that works all the times
Alex Have you actually gone to the casino and played this system in real time? Is there a quit point where you cut losses? One thing I would be afraid of would be long losing streaks. Or many losses intersperced with a few wins. And that is bound t…

FRED RENZEYS ACE TEN FRONT COUNT
Have used the A-10 Front Count for about 8 months. Play at the $10 table. Average bet is about $15 or $16 for a session. Total bet is usually about $1000 an hour or slightly less. Average about 5 hours a week. So in 8 months about 300 to 330 hours o…

A taxing question
In Illinois you have no problem cashing $600 in chips. They just give you back 6 hundreds without asking any questions or checking with anyone. I don't know how much more than that you can cash in without questions. If I have more than $600 in …
