    You can't possibly know that.

    I can't wait to see what I glean from this as soon as you guys finish duking it out. BoSox, are you one of the 28 whose illustrious ranks Don joined in '15? Not that it matters for purposes of this discussion--you're obviously knowledgable and experienced in the field--I'm just curious. (And, upon reflection, realizing that if you are, but are still 'out there', I won't find out by asking in public. LOL)

    Just intuition but of course the sample size was too small anyway.

    I did not say what you wrote in the same sentence. A technicality yes but true.

    Sorry about this. It now dawns on me that you were referring to the Blackjack Hall of Fame. Sorry for my confusion.

    Yes, I used the wrong choice of words there, it is more of a fine tuning based on the index number and how close the running count is to it.

    Intuition is for the baccarat plops that supposedly win 99% of their sessions.

    Yes, that and the fact that almost all of the members are incognito so anyone could be anyone. I suspect that I haven't read any posts by Thorp or the horsemen, and I'm 100% sure Revere doesn't post here...
    ;-)

    Personally, I dont want to be famous in this AP endeavor. It's better to quietly just extract as much as you can without getting noticed.

    Ok, let me quickly retract my suggestion that Thorp doesn't post here...I figured he was way too old, but a bit of surfing reveals that the guy's doing amazingly well at age 88!!

    Thorp is too self-important to post on a BJ forum.
