... but I'm not at all sure Double21 knows what he's asking!

He said: This is a practical issue for those of us who rely on blackjack winnings for income!

Since he's relying on winnings for an income, I really don't think he intends to make ONE withdrawal, then play forever after with zero withdrawals! How practical is that? I really think he wants to make withdrawals every time he doubles in perpetuity.

I completely understand MathProf's caution. This is not discretionary income for D21. He is relying on blackjack winnings for income.
