    Zee, I'm still recommending this trip for you. Either drive or fly.

    Zee, here is a double deck blackjack trip designed just for you.

    Fly into MSP airport for a couple hundred bucks. It is located on the south side of the city. Then rent a car and head southwest to Prior Lake and play the Mystic Lake casino. From there head east over to near Hastings, MN and play Treasure Island. From there head northeast up to Turtle Lake WI and play the S17 double deck game (house edge .32) at St Croix Casino. From there head north again and again play the St Croix casino in Danbury, WI. Say hi for me to pit boss Mike in Danbury. From there head west 26 miles to the Grand Casino in Hinckley, then go up to Mille Lacs to play their double deck game. Then head south again to return to MSP airport. You might want to make a stop at Running Aces on your return trip south to MSP.

    All of these casinos are listed in the recent issue of CBJN as having double deck games. I have played at 4 of the 7 casinos I listed.

    I lost 1.3k two days ago. Does that mean I'm due for a win?

    Not sure why people are ragging on OP for his post. I don’t see where he said he’s due for a big negative downswing. Even though we all know, those downswings are out there, and the biggest one hasn’t hit yet.

    I read his post as kinda keeping himself grounded. He’s on an amazing(?) fun, but he still knows that just because he’s been doing well, it doesn’t mean it’s going to keep going that way. It can be easy to lose track of reality and assume the current results are indicative of what is “normal”. In the same way, when you’re getting your dick crushed every session, it’s also easy to see no light at the end of the tunnel, because you’re just prepared and expecting the next session to be another big loser.

    Since I don't post enough, maybe MW is getting the pent. up nastiness of some pros. I have never ever looked at any rating for any of my posts and have never rated anyone else's post. Rating is a way of censorship. It bothers the old pros who wanted the forum all to themselves so newbies or slow learners like me would get it. Just ignore them, don't let what others think affect you.

    Remember that your odds going into a session are the same no matter what kind of streak you're on. There's no such thing as being "due" for anything; that's ploppy talk.

    Yeah, at the red chip level it is pretty darn hard to win $2,000 in a day. I have only done it once in my life. It will probably take 5 winning sessions to make that $2,000 at red chip betting. Anyway, you missed the point of my post. Streaks end. It is like flipping a coin. The next flip is still 50-50, but at some point you tend to revert to the mean. Don't know when it will happen, but it always does.
