Sorry being late. A lot of sport punting was going on in a month's time.

I put up a conservative figure in my post for one table. as I said I hop from table to table, 5 tables a day or so.

I can see nobody deterred you from playing on blackjack--bad edge and all. Am I right? there are more sports and horse punters in Britain than bj players. Those two forms of gambling have negative edges larger than in bj. Sports betting is -10% at best. Still there punters who win quite a bit consistently. A guy won millions in 2017 betting on World Series (baseball). a few months mater he made millions again betting on Super bowl 2018.

Lets say you play a bj game as bad as sports -10%. If you play 100 hands (hands not hours) you expect to win between 30 and 60 hands. the probability is 99%. So you'll have swings. Like they say gambling is win some, lose some. When I see I am winning I jump to another table or leave the casino altogether.

I mention the size of the BR again. I must have enough to go thru at least 100 hands (not hours, time got nothing to do with probability). Many so-called APs lose quite a bit because don’t have a sufficient BR. And they don’t leave when they see they’re winning. Maybe the more APs play the more they can win; but also the more they can lose.

Cheers.
