girls can do anything!
Hey Julie
Welcome!
I am also female
I've been a member of this site for a few months, don't post often, but read it all. I read everything on the subject of blackjack that I can get my hands on. My BJ library is up to 13 and I just ordered 3 more. I'm excited to finally read Thorpe and Revere. Read most of Wong and Snyder.
Yes, women can be great counters and AP's. I became interested in this for the very reason of the stereotypes. I love proving that I can do things that "girls don't do"
I use Casino Verite for practice and it's awesome. I had never been to a casino before purchasing it and from just using CV, I felt very comfortable when I went the first time. I practice with music playing, singing along, my daughter talking to me, making dinner and all the while keeping the count and wonging in when the time is right. Love it! Practicing this way really helps when I get to the casino, its easy.
I haven't gotten any heat yet. Next time out I'm going to play a little more aggressively and see what happens. Only way to make some money.
A line in a favorite song of mine "girls do what they want, guys do what they can" has become my motto.
Again, welcome!!
