Almost every week I get an email (or someone asking on the Member’s Forum) how they can know if they’re playing a winning game. The email goes something like this,
“I’ve played [X number of hours] at a casino now. I’m [up or down X amount of money]. I don’t know if I’m just getting [lucky or unlucky]. How do I know if I’m playing right
This is a legitimate question. I’ve known Card Counters who have played hundreds of hours, haven’t won any money, and came to me to find out why they’re getting so unlucky. But after I’ve spent 5 minutes with them, I can tell they don’t have a winning game. There is plenty of money to be made at Blackjack, but when we’re dealing with fractions of percentages in our advantage, your game must be razor sharp.
So, to help you guys out, here’s 3 ways you can know if you really are an Advantage Card Counter, all of which are totally valid:
1. Wait until you’ve played hundreds of hours, and if you’ve won more than you’ve lost, you’re a winning player! If not, you’ve got some tragic flaws in your game. [WARNING: Could be VERY expensive]
2. Find someone else who also knows how to count cards, and test each other. If you can play 5 shoes at home and 10 shoes in a casino without making a single mistake (counting, basic strategy, betting, or deviation), then you should be legit!
3. Find a pro. For those who want to get their game assessed (and all bugs worked out) in a proficient manner, we here at BlackjackApprenticeship.com are committed to providing the resources necessary. People leave our bootcamps with the tools necessary to beat the casino. Get on the forum and talk to people who have trained under us. They’ll attest to the money they’re making.
I hate to be a salesman, but when people keep asking how to know if they’re good, all I can say is, time will tell. Or if you don’t want to wait, get your game assessed by a pro. We love training players, and having trained probably 100 people at this point, we’re really good at it. Nearly all bootcamp attenders come in thinking they can flawlessly beat the game, but by the time they leave, they realize how many weaknesses their game still has. So if you’re interested in attending a bootcamp, our next one is scheduled for June 5. You can read about it here.
If you can begin to understand “Expected Value” and how it effects the entire casino industry, then you are well on your way to understand how you can take the advantage away from casinos and have a long lasting card counting career.
Now you know how to play blackjack, learn what you need to know to beat the casino.
