    It would be good actually if someone on this forum who uses KO or FELT were to give you a skills check before you go out again. You want to be 100% sure you are making no counting or basic strategy errors before putting your hard earned cash in play, especially if you begin to start betting appreciable amounts.

    I too err on the conservative side.

    Casinos vary a lot as to their "choke points."

    In most cases I do not want to win over

    $1,000 daily in any one casino. In small

    stores I may reduce that to $500.


    This is a little confusing to me. Especially given the travel involved. Does that mean you rotate casinos for sessions? Losing or winning $500 in a session seems a fairly frequent occurrence. Perhaps I'm wrong. I don't think it can take that long to hit these limits. But you mention daily. So is that only if you are in a "casino" area such as Vegas or AC or Tunica.......where you can range to other casinos? What about where the smaller houses or bigger ones for that matter are distances apart?

    Of course if you stick to your plan, I see some substantial longevity merit in that. It sure wouldn't upset any casino I bet. But it also seems arbitrarily low. Definitely NOT the smallcap plan..........LOL Not that I agree with his methods either as longevity is NOT his intention or goal. Flash, that may very well be the right way to play in our jurisdiction (with the many "small" houses). Interesting concept. Gotta ruminate a little on it.

    only one person answered the question lol. Thanks RS. It seems to be a common theme on this forum. No one answers the question at hand but rather go into other areas of the question about why or why the OP shouldnt do this or that, what they can do instead, or just venture off-topic. Listen I know its a general question, but for the sake of discussion, what kind of SCORES is an acceptable SCORE for someone who would like to play full-time? Im currently averaging about 100-110 SCORE, which im guessing is above average? I would like to know what others are playing and if they're still making a good living with a lower SCORE, etc because i realize if i want to do this full time im not gonna find many 100 SCORE games out there and we all know you need to spread your action around if you want to last.

    The BJ games that I exploit tend to have SCORES between 60 and 75.

    I'm a hobby player on pace to get about 25,000 rounds this year. My games generally SCORE in the 40 - 60 range.

    Finding games like that means that I am on the road a great deal.
    I pay a price, as so to speak, not referring to the airlines expenses.

    As indicated in BJAIII the use of SCORE can be very confusing. Much discussion was presented on the use of SCORE to mean other things with the author desiring to keep SCORE as a term to describe the a measure developed with a prescribed set of conditions. The suggestion was made to call other derivations of the measure to be referred to as c-SCORE where the prescribed conditions for the calculation can be changed to reflect individual situation.

    I have found the c-Score (SCORE adjusted to your bank and game) to be very meaningful in evaluating what games to play with what protocols.

    Tracking c-Scores by session provides an insight into game selection (and somewhat casino selection) as shown in the graph below.
