I'd say you clearly need to study the game a good deal more. When to bet big, how much "big" is, what sorts of fluctuations are invovled are all things you can appreciate by reading and understanding books by Wong, Snyder, DS, and so forth. Your comments are so vague they reveal you haven't done much of that. Also, this:
"One thing I learnt today was that it is better to make the biggest bets not just when the count is high but when the shoe is nearly over as then there r less cards in the remaining shoe so it stands to reason.
bye"
I'm not quite sure what you mean here. If by "not just when the count is high" you mean the running count means different things at different points of the deck then yes, of course...but that's like step one out of the blackjack cradle. If you mean something else, I don't know what reasoning that would be but I think it would stand about as good as a drunken sailor.
In other words, skillful blackjack is not a game where you read a couple of pages in a pamphlet overnight and expect to play like a genius. It takes time and study.
For starters...you do know what I meant by that comment that even a computer-perfect player loses more hands than he wins, right?
