    Yes, but you have to admit it's a cheap way of dealing with the stress of losing dozens of successive sessions.

    Lenders usually ask the borrower for collateral. So far no one has seen anything that comes even close to representing good faith.

    the problem with progression systems is you can't change the odds. for example if I was to guess now the chances of flipping heads on a coin 10 times in a row it might be 2% chance
    but in reality it is 50% every spin and your going to end up getting 10 heads sometimes with variation that is why progressive systems don't work. your going to run out of money on negative variance and it's going to be bloody

    I'm curious why you don't use a standard counting system if you have a strong math background? Perhaps even a level 2 system? A smart guy using a voodoo-like system? That doesn't make any sense.

    This thread reminds me of my favorite recent thread started by Cray Cray in the disadvantage forum:

    http://www.blackjacktheforum.com/sho...are-my-chances

    He went from $800 to $10k at one point!

    Cray Cray was a loose canon. I have only 2 casinos within an hour and 1/2 from me. I worked at one at night for extra income and knew everyone at the other. I never gave counting a thought due to what I've heard about getting banned from a casino.

    Agreed. Norm, please move to voodoo.

    No. It's a slight on voodoo. Move it to Cranks Attract Wanks. This is post #130 on this thread, which has already had 2114 views. The only thing left to say about all this is... LOL

    I skipped at least 10 pages in the middle and don't feel like I've missed out on anything.

    Can we just skip to the part where you tell us your system or you realize that nobody will pay a dime without your system being revealed and you give up because you can't risk the casinos knowing about what you do. After all they have nobody counting cards in the casinos because they know it can work. Wait the dealer says I can't use my cell phone at the table. Got to go the count is through the roof.

To maximize our success, it is important to understand that we are all on the same side. Personal conflicts simply get in the way of our goals.
