If you want to maximize your chance of success it would be wise to learn risk of ruin. At certain bet spreads even with a perfect game you can have an 85% chance of losing your bankroll.

Day 6: I did a lot of scouting and little playing. A lot of games in Vegas on a Saturday are complete garbage and not worth the effort. Weak Pen, poor rules, slow dealers, crowded tables, just stay away from the strip. Result +224 in 2 hours.

I just am not motivated to learn ROR because I am confident in my skills. Another reason is that I feel people who know too much about RoR are too reserved and thus are not willing to take risks. I am actually experienced in Los Vegas. You need to stay in LV during weekdays because hotels are cheaper and table limits are lower. When I was there, I slept during daytime and woke up to play from 4 am to 9 am. That was the best chance I could make money.

You keep saying the dumbest things. Not knowing your ROR demonstrates your LACK of skill and understanding of the game.

I have tried several times to learn ROR in blackjack. Last night I found out that for blackjack ROR is just a very simple table to connect your bank roll to your maximum bet amount. I want to learn everything about it, something that a middle school student can understand. Which book do you recommend? I read some blackjack books three years ago but I forgot about their discussion about ROR. Eventually I did all of the calculations myself.

Which book do you recommend?

It's been many years since I've read the beginner books. I recall Knockout Blackjack being an excellent place to start. Besides espousing its count system, it discusses bankroll management, ROR, etc. Also, Snyder's books are great starting points. Again, I don't recall which one is best. Maybe someone else can chime in. ROR is not a difficult concept. You just needs Norm's software to spit the numbers out for you.

Stanford Wong’s books, early ones, are good. When I started, Revere’s book, can’t remember book title or his full name, had the best color charts and were easy to remember though I later found there were minor errors.

You seem like a man who already has all the answers, stop fooling yourself. How about you getting a touch of reality for a change and buy Don Schlesinger's Blackjack Attack 3rd Edition and start off reading chapter 8 Risk of Ruin first because you need it now. Since you are already experienced in your mind use Don's book as a reference tool as everything in the vast amount of material is accurate and you can count on it, whenever needed.
