vegas not longer tolerates scientific card players.
the sequence goes like this:
you play 21 at a full table.
you counts cards (use 5's theory as an easy beginner type player.)
listen for the "cricket". this means you are known and the floor observer has told the dealer.
the dealer is replaced and he debriefs the dealers who will step in after the present dealer dealing to you.
as this dealer deals, a sweet young thing will offer you a drink of your choice. She is assigned to you to get you to drink a lot.
a new deale arrives. He steps up the hands. he keeps you on your toes. the sweet young thing is showing you a lot of skin too. she gets real close too.
then the cricket cliccker says hi
he asks if you want a comp dinner . say yes. and accept the tickets.
I use an ice bucket for chips. I slide them off the table every so often. I know at dinner I am going to be approached for a conversation. the parties over.
when you read "beat the dealer" you are just being told how probabilites work. strategies are very easy to apply. first you build your mind. then you strive my drills to have facility. doubling down is not hard to handle. things get a little easier if other players are bitching about your play (cos they think you are taking thier losses) keep that ball rolling by giving them a few chips once in a while. BE NICE. they lose them and still bitch again.
If you are teaching another person it is a good thing. You keep sliding them chips and it disorients th dealer a little.
21 is a game where the probabiity keeps changing.
In trading, profit segments are always 100% certain as most traders know. as you look at my trades you see "early exit boxes". I leave when the rate of change of aumulation gets to a limit (think calculus but with finite numbers instead of continuous functions) also look at sidelines where in a bar or so I reenter when the probability is zero (of loss) for the ensuing profit segment.
In bar-by-bar trading, you are jsut running a winning hand. there is no folding all there is is End Effects. All EE's are on lists. the lists are highly organized. all the EE's are there and there are never any surprises.
