call me crazy however I will take the money and run every time!! the last two nights I doubled up in less than 30 minutes........I was gone, I will take that return on investment every time!!

Good luck doing that "every time".

If one need to be explain to about this topic about "take the $$$ and run" is flawed for CC ,then that person still need a lot to learn.Only some good reason can make that statement valid.

It's a brilliant strategy; if you only leave when you're winning, you can't ever lose!

Or maybe you won't ever leave.

"Take the Money and Run" was a decent beginner book back in the early 1990's when it was written. It's obsolete today and a waste of time and energy today and I don't recommend it. It was the first BJ book I ever had as it was the only one I could find at Books-A-Million. The beginning of the book is good at explaining the game, and there is a decent treatment of High-Low and the I18 at the end, but the middle of the book is a lot of streak-betting nonsense aimed at casual players. I think it is good advice to walk away from a single deck game where you have a significant loss or run of losing hands against any single dealer, but I wouldn't do it because of losing, but simply because dealers cheating players is too easy on single deck. Either way I'd never walk away from a plus advantage. The other big error in the book is where he suggests that there is some statistical validity in win streaks predicting positive counts or good cards, this is an extension of TARGET and is nonsense.

Didn't Walter Thomason write about a similar concept years ago? I recall Norm did an excellent job trashing it.
