hi everyone! Im Julie! Im new here and I want to make friends. Im sure, everyone here has a story. Here is mine: I started going to Vegas in 96. Always went with friends, always went for the fun. And I always sat at the tables for a few hours every time. I have always liked BJ but never really counted cards although I knew people did it. I was in my early 20s and I did everything my way, I didnt need to learn to count cards to have fun. So every time I vent to Vegas I had 5-600 bucks that I knew I would lose eventually and when I did I went back home and I was glad that I had good fun. Half of the time I acutally broke even at the tables. I just eyed the 10s and the As and did my thing according to where they were.. Back then, at the Stardust there were BJ tables with 2 decks and 2 dollar min bet. I would sit at those tables with my $50 for hours until I was so drunk I couldn't even remember my name. Thats when Id finally lose my $50 and go upstairs to the room. My friends would come back from a club and wonder how the hell did I get so drunk alone. Next day I would do it again, and sometimes I'd go out with my frinends. So that was then.
I went to college after that. Got a degree, have a pretty good job. My dad was a math wiz, civil engineer, whatever. I didn't go into that type of thing. I liked physics better, but didnt go into that either... anyway. The point is: I want to go back to LV and do it the right way. Just to see how much better it would be.
So I found this site, read everything in it. Found other ones too. Read them. Read two BJ books (Thorp; Wong). Picked up a deck of cards and 4 days later it takes 26-28 seconds to go through it. Still slow but Im stubborn, I'll get there.
More books are to be read, when they finally get here.
But I've just realized I have no friends who would understand my new obsession.
So here I am.
Say hi. Tell me, do women do this? Are they bad at it? Are they good? Am I crazy? Will it work? And be gentile. I'm
breakable.
And I'll need alot of help.
Cheers,
Julie
