Answer: the WALL is...
... a word wich I`m using it to define the psichological incapablity of a lot of players to believe in basic strategy, counting
systems and the posibility of having an edge over the casinos.
This `Wall` actually has feeded the gambling industry more than
any kind of advertising.
In the next years after Ed Thorpe has published his most knowned
book about black jack the incoming of this industry has raised a lot
(I think C.Cant would like to verify this).And each story about how posible is to make money gambling makes new victims.And all this boards,sites or books has their contribution to that .
The most words about Black Jack have been spoken and something important and new cannot be brought, but some things may be very helpfull for each player, as the organizing issue, just think - is a constitutional state more healthy than a street gang ? So the team
players is more powerfull than a single player.
One of the changes what can be done by organizing a little is the way of thinking of casino managers,pit-bosses and even ploppies,so
the mhytological card counter would`n`t be treated as a paria or as
an UFO.
Other things wich can be changed will come in time and the contribution to that could come from more people who are`n`t math specialists.With more the casino personnel is less stressed with more
the rules will be stressing.
Another thing I want to say is that I like very much this board,in
special the funny posts,stories and some civilized discussions,but I
wonder who has the most profits from this posts, the readers or the casinos (I`m talking about an edge is`n`t?).Probably some other boardmates agree with me and maybe someday we`ll have on this site an
organization board (probably this could be a second big contribution
to this game from Stanford Wong).
