    Hopefully you can avoid the police from stealing your money.

    Not sure, but he clearly thinks OP is an idiot, and doesn’t want to be involved in future discussions with him. Mind you, anyone who is a regular in the forums know who the mystery man is.

    That guy needs to learn how to type.

    You're right. However, even before the "typo," it was pretty obvious from the writing style.

    We both know who it is, but numb nuts likely diesnt. Don’t think he cared about hiding his identity from those in the know.

I 'd like to take a poll of the age and bank accounts of the responders to this thread and their bankrolls . Id bet the average age (not including Don) isnt over 40 yrs old and bankrolls of under 25 k.
    Given newbies entering forum lately, the average age may be coming down but as far as Blackjack forums go, the average is closer to 50. I am 70+ and restrict myself to a BR set aside for Blackjack of $70k. When Zi get over it, Zi spend it quickly.

    You know, BJ makes a better hobby than career. The same skills which can produce success at BJ can be used far more effectively in other lines of effort. Seeing opportunities and acting on them, money management, patience, discipline, these are all qualities that can make ALOT more money in the business world or other areas than in BJ. I have played BJ for over 40 years, am over 60 and while I have done great in BJ, it pales versus success in business. I saw the same situation when I was into Poker for many years, I watched young people giving up their life ambitions to play cards. Okay, if that is what you want to do, I guess go ahead and do it...but....you might just be selling yourself short, even if you make what you might consider alot of money to you now, the amount you can make is nothing compared to what you probably could have in something else. End of sermon and I apologize in advance for it.

    CEO1 - +1000. Well put, don't get me wrong there are many successful APers who make a nice, in some cases a very nice living. That said it pales in comparison to what many opportunities in the business world might offer. There are a number of reasons for this, for one thing doesn't scale well - for the most part you only make money when you are actively working and plying your trade. Get up to hit the mens room and your earnings stop , count tanks and you get up to find a new game and while you are looking around for a new shoe to crack - your earnings stop, ploppy sits down and buys for 2K in 20s - your earnings stop - you get the idea. Anyhow lots more I could say but will end it here to be brief and I think that folks who understand this don't need any input, and folks who don't understand this probably aren't interested I hearing more. Agree with the hobby comment - sure beats golf. Good luck in whatever you pursue.

    The argument is getting silly. You have to have capital to get into business. Check how many small businesses under capitalized fail. Hell, lots of businesses have failed over the years, more so this year. Going to college to learn business, get an MBA costs money.
