I am wondering how many of you out there have suffered a loss comparable to mine in a period of 50-100 hours - and how you would deal with it?
Since March 31 I have played about 73 hours of blackjack and suffered a gut-wrenching loss of slightly more than five standard deviations.
Something like this has you seriously worried that you are doing something wrong but I believe I have staked correctly in relation to my bankroll and that this is simply a statistical aberration.
Earlier in my blackjack career I would probably have taken a break of a week or two to get over such a psychologically draining downswing but now I simply plough on confident that I will overcome this serious assault on my bankroll.
