    “Your opinion doesn't mean shit in a casino.” QED. The min-max spread used to be 5-1000=1-200. The casinos made it 5-500=1-100. All gamblers screamed SHIT! Now its mostly 1-10. SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! Im...

    Thanks, Cac. Appreciate the double-check, but, of course, these things have been known (except to toolyp) since forever. I suppose I've been answering streak questions for about 40-45 years or so....

    Do you only play blackjack currently? Or are you also playing games with a guaranteed house edge/gambling on sports? If it's the latter, being an AP in blackjack will do nothing for you.
