Sorry you had to get it posted on a site that is so biased to the left that any credibility the great posting would have had is wasted on a bunch of liberals. Just read the 10 main stories on the site any day and you have to understand that anyone who is not overly biased to the left would even bother to read it. Then again, you may accept that belief that people cannot make it on their own without being "lucky". People on this site understand more than most that you create your own lucky in life.

I would only object to one part of the article...

Many players make decisions in blackjack according to "basic strategy," a set of probabilistic rules that determine exactly when to hit, stay, split or double-down, depending on the card that the dealer is showing.


How do you define "many?"

The word "many" should be replaced with "very, very, very few"
