The games we find today are very difficult to do that. Poor penetration, backoffs, bankroll requirements, skill level all work against the individual. Team play has the advantage of use of higher numbers, but still a grind.
Let's make it equivelent to a baseball analogy. It's possible for a player to have a batting average of over .400 for a whole season, but it hasn't happened since 1941.
There are people who have made it much quicker than that. There are many people who make six figures card counting.
if you:
1. Use big enough BR... like $300K...
2. Can find good games
* Hole card exposed.
* Trackable shuffles.
* Rebates... mostly not in the US...
* Good rules... 0.8% positive off-the-top and Joker games still offered at some countries.
I personally know several players made over $1 M since 1993 including myself.
It is mathematically trivial to say that you could win a million dollars card-counting. Look at the doubling time for the better games, minimize your expenses and errors, practice strict optimal betting patterns, and you are more likely than not to make big cash.
In practice it is much more difficult than obviously. But you could write volumes on that. It remains however, quite possible.
Personally I think their are easier ways to make big money, even from gambling.

BJT, I get a curious question for you. Will you ask your son to follow your career path?
It seems it's a rule of thumb that
when a Chinese father really loves his career, and naturally he will ask his kids to follow his career path. For a real example, Doctor Chan loves his medical practice (made $150,000 net profit per year), and naturally he wants his 3 kids to become doctors. In fact all 3 kids become MDs.
In your case, you seem you really love what you're doing; thus I ask you my curious question. I look forward to your honest answer.

4:07 pm I knew Prof. Librescu, one of the professors shot at VPI. I took his graduate course on composite plates and shells back in 1994. He was an excellent teacher, and person, and could speak with humanity on subjects far removed from engineering. I�m not surprised he died trying to help others to escape.

5:35 pm While I never met Prof. Liviu Librescu I was very taken by his story. Here was a man who is a holocaust survivor. While the shooting was going on and the others in the room were hiding or going out the window Prof. Librescu blocked the door to try to keep the killer out. He paid for this act by being killed himself. I understand that no one else in that room was killed. There must be a special place in heaven for a man like him. God bless you sir and rest in peace

5:24 pm Professor Librescu first inspired me sixteen years ago as one of his engineering students at Virginia Tech. Liviu was a kind and patient man who entertained as many questions as it took for his class to grasp the complex subjects he taught. He always reminded me of my father because while he always expected the best from his students, he was also genuinely interested in their success. I fondly recall how his face lit up when he could tell a student had grasped a new concept.
Upon learning of Professor Librescu�s death yesterday at my desk, I cried. The teacher who reminded me of my own dad died while acting like a father to the students he loved.
The world will miss you, Liviu. May God welcome you into His kingdom and shower comfort upon your family and friends and all those you touched in your beautiful life.

family and all the staff and students of the Virginia Tech.
Several personal conclusions:
- Prof. Librescu is a hero of the world !
- I admire the universities which hire teachers and researchers as function of their qualifications, even when a professor is 75 years old.
I think, such example should be shared among governments and citizens of the rest of the world.
I pray for Professor Librescu.

12:08 am May we all learn from such an amazing person. Aside from what I am sure he taught in his classes, he has shown such a valuable lesson and amount of compassion. He survived the Holocaust. He has seen so much. I am sure in his entire life, he has seen more than any of us can imagine. Yet, he did not discriminate or question who he threw his life down to save. I see so many people out there who only want to blame and hate. They will capitalize on someone�s mistakes or lack of education rather than help them to understand and learn. They use past hurts to separate themselves from everyone much like what I think this horrible shooter did. Dr. Librescu though, through himself infront of all else to save any life he could. He did not say, only a certain type of person should be saved. He did not say that anyone who could be related to someone who hurt me or my family in the Holocaust should be killed. He said, get out and he gave his life. Truly a saint. Truly an angel. An educator, not a hater. Someone who we really all need to learn from in so many ways. I wish I knew this man. I wish I could have heard anything he had to say. To his family�.carry on strong and be so proud, as he must have all of his life. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

12:18 am Although I have never met Professor Liviu Librescu, this story is amazing, it is sad but incredible. This is a man who survived one of the worst atrocities ever. He became well educated and respected in his field and came to America. ALthough he should be retired he continued to work and educate only to be gunned down in his classroom while saving his students from what he knew was a gunman. I have the utmost respect for this man. He accomplished more in his life than most and had hardship beyond anything I could imagine. In his selfless act he allowed so many to escape and those people will go on and have families of their own. Because of one man, many lives will go on.

This man is a true inspiration. He saw so much evil in his life, surviving the Holocaust. He saw all of the worst that mankind had to offer, yet he triumphed over all of it by never letting it define him. The world is in his debt. He is the candle of hope that refuses to go out in this dark storm all around us. Thank you Professor Librescu.�
There are no words to encompass the loss of a man like Professor Liviu Librescu, who ACTED TO SAVE THE LIVES OF OTHERS IN THE FACE OF LOSING HIS OWN.
A simple thank you does not seem like nearly enough�
Prayers for his family at this time of their great loss do not seems like nearly enough�

To give up a life for family and friends is an amazing feat, but to give up your life for complete strangers in a moment of panic is truly heroic. Our prayers go out to his family and families and friends of all the others lost in this tragic shooting. Our prayers also go out to the students left behind without their friends, family, and faculty members helping them through the next years.

2:54 am This great man has shown that there is honor in being human. I think it is a law of the universe that without evil, there could be no good. For what would we judge it by? Dr.Librescu has given his full measure for his students. What better lesson could a teacher give? He has taught the whole world the true meaning of the word �hero�. This makes the people who we call hereos because they are great atheletes, or singers, television stars, etc.,pale in comparision.
Because, here, people, we have the real thing.
G-D bless your soul, and may your example serve as an inspiration to others. I know it has to me.

4:53 am Professor Librescu showed us how noble, how courageous, how awe-inspiring a human being can be. Having survived the horrors of the Holocaust, he lived his life with love, with dedication to his family and students, with joy in music and nature. Having cruelly suffered simply because he was Jewish, he knew better than most of us the value of human life and did not hesitate to sacrifice his own to save others.
His murderer shows how despicable a human can be. But our society is also to blame for allowing evil like this to happen. As long as we allow violence to reign � on TV and movies and most of all in the unjust wars our government wages, and as long as we allow people to easily buy guns to play out their most violent fantasies, we will continue to witness massacres of this kind. This was not the first time, only the one with the greatest number of victims.
Professor Librescu, may God bless your sacred memory and console your mourning family. And may our violent country learn a lesson from this sad tragedy.

9:21 am I knew Dr. Librescu during my time as a grad student at VT. I had graduate courses from him in vibrations and later in theory of plates and shells (I still keep the course notes from this class in my bookcase at work. It has proved a valuable resource over the years). I remember him as a passionate teacher and a gentleman who encouraged us and gladly shared his ideas and suggestions on research. I was shocked and saddened when I saw his name among the first lists of the dead, but I was not surprised to learn he had died trying to save his students.

9:37 am What an amazing man! The hardship he suffered in the Holocaust did not diminish him, but instead prepared him for the moment when he could act to save other lives. Thank you, Liviu Librescu. Thank you. Thank you for showing us what it is to be human and brave.
Thank you.

The accuracy of your statements is astounding!
It is for sure more honorable than working for casinos and some corporations.
the same question. My answer was I would teach. He will make his own judgement... the current response from my 17-year old son was he does not like taking planes...
I always consider myself as an investor and BJ as a good investment. I got my MBA, lost big at stock market for poor money management. If I worked as a card counter first, I may be a better investor later.
that card counting may be a more honorable profession than the President of most countries...: )
