q: Professional blackjack career?
I was curious as to if being a professional blackjack player can really be a good living. I would like to hear from any professionals that could give me some insight, and if you think it is a good career than how do you take steps to becoming good enough? How much money do you make per year? Everything that could help. Thanks alot

> can you beat an eight deck shoe?
have never played against an 8-deck shoe. The casino I go to only has 2 and 6 deck shoes. I am just wondering about stories and what kind of success professionals have had and if it is possible to make a large income just playing blackjack?

Can an eight deck shoe be beaten? Yes, certainly. An eight deck shoe is no more difficult to count down than a six deck shoe.
Can I personally beat an eight deck shoe? Probably, although I've never tried. I've always been able to find better games in the areas where I play.

There are far better ways to make a buck than playing blackjack but, if you are persistent, hard-working and able to recognize and learn from your mistakes, then you can make a living at it. I've been a professional "gambler" for all of two years, so I'm not the most experienced wiseguy out there, but I can tell you that it has its good and bad points and it isn't for everyone. If it's something you are considering doing for a living, as your curiosity suggests, you should take it up as a parttime "job" first and see how things go.
By the way, you definitely need to know at least one of the many ways to beat an 8-deck shoe before you consider becoming a professional.
