Is this normal or should I just quit?

If your marriage is supposed to end it will end - if youd rather be at a casino at 5am then be snuggled up with her then its probably better for you both if its done.

If you are good at math and like employing skill and are not using hiopt 2 with mutiple sidecounts you are doing yourself a disservice.

If your bankroll is super replenishable - save it up while you learn a better count and then stop betting like a 5 year old

I like halves. Take it up a notch with the FBM ASC - for feel good play.

I'm very mathematically inclined and blackjack is a great way to let off some steam and stress while still stimulating my mind and it's only 10 minutes away from my house!

Dalmation, this statement is counter to the problem you presented in the opening post. When I read your post and saw your bet levels and the description I thought of a competent player who really does not grasp the overall risk/reward equation in play. You beat the game by NOT playing negative counts and betting big in positive counts commensurate with your Bankroll and appetite for risk. The variance is brutal and must FIRST be studied and understood before taking off down the path to play.

Losing jobs, wife, and impacting your health is incredibly poor return on a max bet of 2X100. Are you kidding me?

If you intend to be a serious pro, then STOP and start over only after a complete research and understanding of the game, the technology required, the bankroll required and the demands of the lifestyle.

Otherwise, just STOP.

Tell you what sport. I really get sick and tired of having hi Opt 2 side counts shoved down my throat. So, if you can't take some humour retaliation at face value, then go ponder the scratch without the side count.

I am not the most experienced AP on this thread (practicing for 3 weeks now and haven't made a real bet) but I do know that if this game is affecting your marriage and career, I really suggest you dial back your time in the casinos or even a take a break from it and practice at home. The break could be weeks, months or even years. When you come back when your personal and professional life is back on track, the game and the casinos will be there waiting you. They're not going anywhere.

cgasucks, +1 +1 +1 +1 for your post to an AP forum on card counting and including your photo to make us feel warm and fuzzy. I have taken the liberty of submitting your photo and handle to OSN to avoid you waiting longer to promote your notoriety.

OR

You put your ex wife's new asshole boyfriends photo in with the intent of someone doing just what I mentioned above or worse. If so, +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 for outsmarting us all.

PS. This is my impolite way of telling you to take down the photo before it does some harm you do not want. Casinos also read these forums.

He must be confident that he looks very different from his high school photo.

I'm not doing it for the money, I'm just a little bummed out it's so break even. What I was expecting was someone to suggest a better count system.

You lost your marriage and multiple jobs and seeking information about a better count system?
Please go get your life and you head back. Casinos will still be here when you return.

That is obviously not my real picture. It's some guy I came across in Linkedin that I thought he looked goofy.

When i shove something down your throat i can guarantee you it wont be a count

Humour has nothing to do with the retaliatory aspect of your posts

Not like it would be any help identifying any specific person anyway....
