    Is $253 enough to spread green at the casino's?

    hi im new to ap and looking to make some buck's.

    been practicing, ect., with a level 6 count, and cant always remember to add/subtarct 7 for the 6s and 5 for the 5s

    also: whats the "true" count - is their, like, a fake one, and does it really matter if i use the "true" count since that always goes to zero anyway's?

    hope the casino's won't ban me, ect., but a casino has to protect it's interest's ...

    p.s. my obscenely miniscule bankroll should be enough to spread $25-$150. r there any books on blackjack, ect.? if so, i dont want to read them, so could somebody who has taken the time please help me?

    Sounds like you’re good to go! My only quarrel with your post is the incorrect use of apostrophes, but that’s really minor. Go get ‘em!!

    ooh - br management ... im thinking i should keep my max bet less than my br, will that be safe?

    and the true count always goes to zero, so should i just bet zero after placing my max bet until the end of the shoe?

    So is true wisdom just running wisdom divided by the number of times you have been decked? And does true wisdom tend to 0 then?

    If I knew the answer to true wisdom I would most surely share it.

    It’s important to understand that running wisdom tends to zero. True wisdom tends to always remain the same, according to the True Wisdom Theory. If you are using a running wisdom strategy, you start life with a deficit in wisdom. You end life with a running wisdom of zero. Whether you use a running wisdom or true wisdom strategy, you end life at the same place -- with zero wisdom. (Well, indefinite wisdom in the case of TW.) Thus, you have achieved Socratic perfection, as true wisdom is the understanding that you know nothing.

    Ignore those that try to start a running wisdom strategy with a higher IRW and end with positive wisdom.

    It’s just as well. As Baltasar Gracian said, “Better mad with the rest of the world than wise alone.”

    I say, after I graduated from The University, I had a monster running wisdom! It was sky high and I knew everything. As I sit here in my play-all strategy, my RW in falling like a rock and I'm still not getting the positive flux. I think all my wisdom is hidden behind the cut card.
