rich with 21k? That's like $4 RMT plat...

(not that I would have ANY idea)

The average American's time is worth around $10 an hour, therefore you say a person could earn 21,000P in 4/10 of an hour meaning it takes 24 minutes to earn 21,000P.

Even if the average gamer's time is only worth $5 an hour, you are still saying he can make 26,250P per hour consistently.

It's more likely that the average player can earn around 1000P per hour, if you are selling for that price you are earning around $0.19 per hour.

If you are really selling plat you are getting utterly raped, and I'm glad because you shouldn't be breaking the rules.

There is no system that works for any gambling game where the odds favor the house. Your system might have worked for you, but that's just because you got lucky in the short term.

Its like the dumb people that think that covering every number but a few in roulette gives them better odds. Man, most people that gamble are not only really dumb but they don't even realize how dumb they are. Glad I don't work in one anymore!

wrong b/c the hows knows my theory beats them so they require a somewhat high mimumm bet and set a maximum bet.

no, it doesn't. with any amount of finite money, if you play the game for long enough, the chance of catastrophic, irreconcilable loss exactly balances out your short term gains.

it's basically a form of gambling with risk, where you are accepting a small risk of huge losses in order to make smaller amounts of money gradually.

As a former blackjack dealer of five years, this is how I read that statement:

Can you tell when someone is counting cards?

Most BJ dealers are very cool and give players advice on basic strategy alone, like standing on a 12 count when dealer shows a 2 or 3, but hitting when dealer shows a 6 because dealer is more likely to bust.

If you play perfect basic strategy with 6 decks, you can cancel out the house's advantage. This strategy is based on Monte Carlo simulations, which means all the variables are feed into a computer, millions of simulations are run on every possible combination, and certain rules become evident. If you play by all these rules (which include when to double down, split your pairs) then you can play til your heart's content, neither gaining or losing in the long run. Only until you vary your bets based on the amount of favorable vs. non-favorable cards left in the deck can you actually gain in the long run. Notice I say in the long run. Any fool can split 6's and see a dealer bust on a 10 once. If you do that all the time, you will LOSE big time.

If you count cards and are proficient at it, you can raise your odds to 7%. That may not seems like a lot, but over time and compounded it can raise eyebrows at any casino I've ever played at.

You want that book, amateur bettors.

A good place to start would be www.sbrforum.com.

But I guess you knew that already.

That is not true. Basic strategy doesn't put you above house odds. It gives the house like a 0.5% advantage. If you card count with normal popular strategies you gain around a 1% advantage over the house.

I haven't really gambled but I went to a casino once and the dealers were incredibly ignorant about blackjack actually. This wasn't vegas so perhaps thats why, but they were giving advice like "You don't know my face down card, so you should assume its a 10 value card", which is something you should never assume.
