Alain – I have had one experience in my life where there were more card counters than gamblers in a casino. Then they stopped giving us all lobster for lunch.

this is one hack of a story!
Hmm i might want to consider counting cards seriously.
But i have a question though. After the movie 21 (thats where i got in touch) don’t you think there are a HECK of a lot more people who want to count card’s? and as a reasult the casino has 50/50 counter’s/gamblers. it isn’t profiteble anymore so they cut away the BJ tables. Or you think there is ALWAYS more to win for the casino becouse of the gamblers?

Like to hear from you ben

Hey Ben,

I have read the whole story by now and just about on page 20 I thought? Why don’t they make a movie about his story? It would be better than the “Black Jack”-Story about the MIT-Students, that came out in 2008!

Respect, great story!

Mate, that was one of the best true stories i’ve read. Very inspiring and motivating, there’s a lot I can and I know others can relate to. Thanks for the great read and you guys are doing an excellent job with the site, all my best wishes.

Ben,
Haven’t read it yet. I just wanted to know if your racquetball game went to hell because of 21 or because your 31.

Hi Ben:

I am the 88 year old in the pinto. I am glad I had such a profound influence on your life. By the way, it wasn’t an “accident”.

Interesting little story you have there.

Ivan + Linda, Glad you enjoyed it.

Xavier – thanks for your feedback. I’m glad you are reading it as I intended it. There are so many lessons to learn from life. I happened to learn mine in blackjack.

pvt.punch – where are you biking. watch out for cars but then again, that as just what I needed! =)

That was a good read Ben. Actually it was a bit spooky how you took 3 months off to go on a bike trip. I’m planning on taking 10 weeks off to go on a bike trip – already booked the tickets! (Hope I don’t get hit by a car though)

Don’t be bothered by him Ben. I think his obsession with finding these sites or a get rich how-to brought him here and in doing so he’s failed to learn anything about Black Jack or life or the internet. It’s a spirited game you sell your heart to. And this book, however small in his world it may be is massive in the hands of someone like me. I read it, and I believe your experiences from your eye view. I won’t have the same experiences, but the story is about what you found through Black Jack. Not with Black Jack or anything that Black Jack caused or gave you. All this story says, is what you learned about yourself. And that’s why it’s a badass ebook. Its an inspiration to look forward to when I’m not 24. Can I say I learned the same things? And can I say I didn’t crash and burn or get blasted in a dark alleyway after years of drugs and power? Pretty good read Ben.:)
