    A couple of questions I have prior to the purchase:
    1. Does anyone have a range of when I can determine that I am ready to go to the casino and actually start counting cards?
    E.G: 100% accuracy in the flashcard test at a certain speed? In addition to the table counting test?
    2. I am concerned about being able to follow a schedule that will be measurable from point A to point B in my progress if counting cards.

    If anyone can provide some insight into their measuring/knowing they were ready to count cards at an actual casino, I would greatly appreciate it! If you need more info/are confused just let me know.

    Thanks!
    Each person reacts differently to playing BJ in a casino. We react differently to dealer pace, number of players and conversation, heat, losses and wins, distractions and more.

    Its silly to wait, spend hours and hours practicing to play, read books, view videos and such only to find it’s not for you. Take a $100 dollars, go to casino and try. Consider it tuition. Stand behind and keep count at minimum $5 tables, maybe enter a game when the count is positive, play a few hands, Wong out if count gets negative.

    You would be surprised by how much you can learn about yourself, learn to deal with the speed of the game (which varies tremendously with other players and their demeanor, the dealer etc.).

    You can start by standing behind and back counting, place a few minimum bets and test yourself, whether the playing decisions come to you quickly or you go blank or make mistakes. In time, you could wong in, place a $15 bet in a higher count, see how you react to wins and losses, see if you can converse with others, feel comfortable etc. Try it!

    You reguarly argue that you're not giving advice. This sure sounds like advice; bad advice at that.

    I don’t give advice on strategy, betting etc. That is not advice, it is opinion as to when someone should step into a casino to play. You disagree, it’s fine.

    I spent a lifetime telling students not to wait till you graduate before you step into a working environment, to volunteer, get internships, whatever in the field you have chosen. The same applies here. It’s silly to invest time and money to get into an environment you may not enjoy working in.
