Spot the difference.............sorry no prizes
"I lost $15,000 in two and one-half hours at a Frontier single deck game, betting $25 to $1200. Teammates in early 1980 lost $156,000 at the casinos in Atlantic City before recovering. Two of our best players played eight hours a day for 61 days in France and Belgium, and they were down $30,000." Ken Uston ($MILLION BJ p33.)
"In normal card counting, we expect on average to win about 60% of the
sessions. With George, (he is referring to a hidden computer) we were winning at the rate of 80%" Ken Uston ($MILLION BJ p.92)"
"Suppose you play 400 hands of blackjack every day for six days. Suppose you bet $100 on one hand every round and have an average advantage of 0.75%. (This would be a good game) Your expectation is to win $300 per day.............Your average daily win of $300 would be dwarfed by the individual daily swings. You have a 50-50 chance of losing more than $2700 on your worst day of a typical six-day session......There is no legal way to win every day that you play."
Stanford Wong (Blackjack Secrets p.198-199)
"I�m going without a losing session for over the last 1,500 hours. I have reached the session #300 this past weekend. And, I know for sure that I will never lose sessions. I�m talking here about serious BJ of 5 hours on each session with some breaks in between, but on average my sessions are about 4-5 hours a day." Puiu (BJ 21 Main Free BJ post 23 July 02)

"I know that some of you don�t believe because:
When preparation and knowledge meets opportunity in a combination of events and circumstances, then sometimes the obvious can be a little hard to see"
As I am not a mystic this sentence is incomprehensible to me, but it smells strongly of burning waffles.
"Well, It's like rock climbing You drive a steel peg into the rock and move up a notch. You may go for a long while before you fall, but when you do, you only drop one notch. In the long run, you make it to the top. It may take you less time than others, or more time than others, but you do make it."
Perhaps rather than the eloquent analogy you could educate me as to what betting structure allows you to only fall back one unit before advancing.
Pardon my scepticism.
