    Sorry, but I thought the main purpose of card counting is to make money, not to speak the "industry standard"?

    Lol. Open your eyes a bit. Two counters are together at a casino. Do you see any reason to have a common language?

    Sure if you are working as a team, if you plan to be a loner does it really matter?

I would think it’s just that they had stayed below what they had started with for that length of time.
    Brilliant discovery. Thanks.

    You're right. So is Refinery. For teamwork, it's probably essential. For the lone wolf, like me, I can't see any reason for knowing it. So I don't.

    You never know when you might team up with someone, even using a EMFH technique such as tag-team wonging.

    Ive been my own boss, regular work wise, for well over 20 years. I’m not about to change my habits. As far as bj goes, I like being a solo artist.

    Good stuff. Why would you want anyone in town knowing you have a lot of cash on hand?
