Dude ... you won`t win.
Didn`t you just ask this question?
OK, here`s the deal:
There is no secret course for counting at BJ.
Those who succeed, like DD, are the rare individuals who do not mind watching their bankroll fluctuate hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of a year.
Take all the money you have in the world, play full-Kelly, and you have a 50% chance of losing half of it.
How do you feel, right now, about losing half your entire worth on a coin toss?
With a low bankroll ... you will be forced to play at a higher risk of ruin than a professional. And while you`re risking less, the money will be no less important to you.
In truth, if you are struggling a bit (as I suspect anyone might be who is contemplating buying forty year old BS technology), your money might be very precious to you.
The question is not what strategy to buy (please re-read bigplayer`s response), the question is ...
Do you have the stomach for this game?
Best,
Syph

You won�t win.
Of course, there are a few players who do win. Professional card counters exist; they�re not entirely mythical. It�s just that I know that these professional players are so exceptional, so obsessed, so dedicated, such gluttons for punishment, so terror stricken by the concept of working a nine-to-five job, so few and far between in every sense of few and far between, that, honestly, you are highly unlikely to be one of these human anomalies. And the most honest thing I can say to you, if you tell me that you really want to become a professional blackjack player, is:
You won�t win.
