    You mean the ones that can see both sides.

    There’s nothing wrong with seeing the situation from the other side. It’s healthy to have a diversity of opinion, rather than using insults and name calling to try to intimidate everyone to think the same way.

    The majority view is not necessarily right.

    History is replete with examples of where the majority view was wrong.

    First, I learned a new word today, "quotidian".

    Two, blackjack is like any other job, in the sense that you make some money, and if you go to a restaurant - or whatever - you tip the waiter, etc. It's no different! It does buy longevity. At my former local casino, they know I count and they have kidded me about it - to no end - and they still let me play. One reason is I tip. Now granted, when I go there I'm a red/green chip guy, but when I go to Reno or Vegas, baby, the bet spread is a more, etc. Anyways, I think in most places if you're nice and throw some money at the dealer - figuratively speaking - or play for them, they will let you stay a lot longer. One last thing on tipping. Dave Drury, in the Holy Rollers movie, doesn't tip at all and he and I talked about it for a short time when I was in Vegas, baby, and I think we agreed to disagree. (BTW, Dave's a cool guy and really nice too.) Anyways, remember, this is like any other job andI think you should tip. At some other point, I'll tell you about this one waitress in Reno who was giving me drinks for half a day, and not tipping because she knows that I tip and I'm nice to everyone!

    The weight of the book is 1.78kg, 1kg of gold = USD41,000, so if we assume this book is make of gold, then it should worth USD73,000. However this book already help me to win more than USD400k since 7 years ago ! So do you think that I will sell it for USD3000 ?

    The book is worth more than its weight in gold !

    No.
    Why do you sell it ?
    Keep buying it, If you collect 5 books of same ones, it would be worth $365,000.

    If you see two cards, your ev= +17.20%(simulations with JG's strategy and confirmed it is correct ! ), NOT 14.12% !
