I was telling her that once I learn to count and learn how to play as a counter, my winnings should increase to the point, ALL the expenses would be paid for. Obviously, that is what you want.
I think you need to take a step back and look at the big picture. A. Snyder stated that about 1% of those who learn card counting will make consistent money from it. All I can say is that greed is usually what led many counter to their unexpected demise and it looks like the seeds have taken root within you. Play BJ for fun, and if the money comes, then that's an extra bonus -- you have to learn to manage your expectations.
