    I won $800 spreading 10 to 50 on double deck in 30 minutes. That set the hook.

    Later on the same dealer approached me in the casino and told me to be careful with their shoe game .. its harder to count .. im sure I turned red.

    First session, $200 turned into $15.

    Walked to another casino. $15 turned into $225 by wonging in.

    The pit boss approached me, more so curious about my basic strategy sheet, analyzed it with the dealer, laughed, and then gave it back. Really odd.

    After that I took my free drink and called it a night.

    Came back a few months later, first table up $85, second down $100, the whole table busted it was disgusting.

    Same scenario as my first night out, went to a new table, then was up $480 by back counting.

    Safe to say, another pit boss approached me, this time scolding me for my basic strategy sheet and telling me it needs to be hidden in my lap. I asked him what the big deal was, he started ranting about "counting, card tracking, backcounting, and a whole matrix of things" to which I told him "well call me fucking Neo because I have no idea what you're going off about".

    I still played at that table for another two hours.

    Frankly if Ace can somehow figure out a way to make voodoo magic work it would likely be much more profitable than card counting!

    get a door dash job to support your gaming addiction that you believe your winning!

    Hi,

    I just experienced a $30K losing strike. I have worse bet spread and not as good game (more pen.). My risk of ruin of $35K bankroll is about 4%. I think, for your best interest, if you want to make sure you don't lose all your bankroll while making most out of your time counting, you have to adjust for kelly criterion: come up with a plan of betting spread at different level of bank roll. You can start from 4% ROR and adjust bet size and remain a 4% ROR. This way you will never lose all of your bankroll.

    When your bankroll hit $50K, you would be making decent money comfortably.
