Blackjack - I'm hooked!

Quote from kjkent1:

Reluctantly, I will admit to having played blackjack professionally in my youth. This means that I played tens of thousands of hands against real dealers in real casinos using real money. ( snip)

I dunno, but I'll take the compliment, regardless.

You got to play to win. So, I play the lottery. I know that odds wise, I have it very much against me but, if even Jennifer Lopez's mom can win a $1,000,000 progressive slot in Atlantic City then, anything is possible!!!! I even read of an old guy who won on a scratcher $1,000,000 twice on the same scratcher (different years though) but, what are the chances of the same person winning the lottery twice???
 
I was at a TAG seminar in Vegas in October 1995. Russell Sands was there and during his presentation he let everyone know they could buy a blackjack manual he had written. Anyways, the night after his presentation he was playing blackjack at the Riviera(if memory serves) and was told to leave after getting up about $10,000.

In my opinion winning at blackjack is the same as winning at trading. Make sure the magnitude of your winners is big enough to cover the magnitude of your losers. In blackjack you bet more when the card count is in your favor. In trading you let your profits run (and pyramid if applicable) and limit your losses.
 
I was up to over $17,000. Lost down to $10,000. On a current upswing again... to almost $12,000. Will update later.

I think I am working out a few of the kinks that made me lose so much so rapidly.

Am trying to get my account to $100,000....

Wish me luck. :D

Been trading forex cash for 2 years. Developing and trading systems that successfully access the global currency market.

So, the other night I went to Yahoo Games and started playing Blackjack, aka "21."

Using my trading abilities/systems, I turned $1,000 into $10,000 in little over an hour.

Opened another account and turned the $1,000 into over $5,000 also in a short time.

Well, I was thinking, hey, I could go to casinos and make money playing BJ. :D

Does anyone happen to play this game? Does anyone know if money can be made in casinos if you are actually using advanced trading systems to play the game?

I'm not "card-counting" - I'm basically just slugging it out like I do in the forex.
