Far from a gambler, guess because I always wanted sure bets, did not have an addictive personality, plus my brain is just way to logical. Knowing someone has a set advantage over me 100% of the time turned me off from most games of chance.
I very much do know how to play bj, it is far from foreign to me. I just play it with a different mind set. I sit at the table with a set amount of cash that I figure I will end up spending, just like I would at any other form of entertainment function. I do not play stupid, when I am playing I will play to win, it just has no real "system". I know all to damn well objects like cards, dice, whatever do not have memories. I know that an assclown sitting next to you may mess your game up in your head but in reality what did they really do? You can think that 10 should of been mine if he did not hit on a 17, you just have no damn clue or odds that the 10 would of been there in the first place. Guess I am just saying I will stick to what gives me the best odds, play until either I run out of my fun money, or I will stop spending my original bank once I have doubled it. I also set my time playing to 6 drinks max - non alcoholic. I drink at a certain pace and once I finish my 6th and have my 7th on the way I get up the second it arrives and cash out. That typically means 2-3 hours of play max.
Our local casino used to have certain nights of the week where a player could buy the bank. That was about the only time it really caught my interest as a money situation. Not often that you get to act as the bank for a table of players. Of course you needed a good sum of money, even at a low table. Think the minimum was 500 at the 1/2 table. You could sell it back at anytime though.
Ever want a real pisser - play the bank and lose your money. Especially when someone goes on some unfuckingbelievable roll where they can do no wrong. They win or get 21 on everything. Fuck they can hit on an 18 and still get 21, which she did.
