I haven't posted in a while, and I haven't read the forum much either. But I'll be going to Vegas in a month and so I'm studying up and brushing up on my skills again. I've been meaning to ask this to everyone: What have you learned about life from playing blackjack?
What I've learned is that you have positive variance and negative variance in life as well as in the cards. Life has its ups and downs, just like the game. You can't exactly predict what's going to happen next, but you can have a decent idea. And you make decisions sometimes that seem like the best decision to make at the time, and then it turns out that a different decision would have been better. But you have to still be satisfied to know that you still made the right decision. Just like when you have 16 against a 10 and bust, only to see the dealer turn over a 6 and you realise that you would have won if you had stood on 16.
Anyone else wanna get philosophical?
