Hey, glad I still draw some attention! ;^)
Disclaimers:
- I didn't intend to stir a hornet's nest by undermining the founding principles of this site
- I indeed find AP.com very valuable
- I know I am a BJ beginner and I only have to learn from here
- I can make divisions too, not only subractions... )
I might argue that the reference frame can make some difference...
A $20 bill (or stack) alone is quite different from a $100 one.
But *compared* to 4x $1,000 bills (or stacks) the significance of that difference is much scaled down.
Of course, you base your gambling philosophy on that 2% advantage, and the LONG RUN. I won't dare to belittle that.
I'll get back on the subject to explain my statement and position.
For now I can say that maybe, given my not exceptional gambling frequency and intensity, and my gambling bankroll, to me *variance* is at least as important as edge, if not paramount.
Nevertheless, the theoretical part of BJ is fascinating and passionating, and I still intend over the next months to make a serious attempt in learning to count.
I'll "count" on the advice and support I'll be able to get from this site!

Did I thank you Don & Norm yet for the response? Thanks!
Being I a beginner tho, I'm afraid I can't figure out offhand who is Reid and which is his site...
