I can hardly wait for this next thrilling chapter about some dufus playing BJ a mere 23 years ago. I am sure conditions have not
changed since then. Had I been the Forbe's editor, this article would have started " I was born in a log cabin that my father built ".

Well, let's see . What does the author consider his greatest accomplishment ?

My Greatest Achievement

I practiced sitting meditation for one month at a Vermont Buddhist retreat center -- then attended seminary. It's not your typical American achievement story -- might not even be actual achievement, but I like to think that maybe it is.

Heck, its either entertaining or its not... it surely is not valid investment advice and everyone knows it.
Those sweat the money and watch even the minimum bet table like a hawk types at South Point are laughing themselves sick.

What a sad collection of losers is now posting at this forum. Do y'll lack reading comprension skills? This is one of the best pieces on real blackjack playing that I've seen in the mainstream media. The analogies to investing are obvious. It's unstated. You have to bring intelligence to it -- impossible for low life morons showing up here lately.

It is very obvious that the author doesn't understand card counting. Why has this struck such a nerve that you joined this forum and made this your first post?
