Boxing Day Blackjack

Made a day trip with my dad down to AC - left him to his slot machines and I sauntered over to the blackjack tables...I was feeling good and then...the cards were shuffled

Lost the first 2 hands then scored a blackjack on the third -- I thought things were looking up until I lost the next 6 hands in a row, followed by pushing 4 hands of 20, surrending 16 to 10 on 3 occasions until I finally won another hand - a 21 versus a dealer 20

I continued pushing and losing hands for the rest of the shoe save for one additional hand - yup, lost, surrendered or pushed every single hand except 3 in the entire shoe

I was down 1700 by this point

Shoe 2 delivered more of the same, only with my pushing a lot more hands and winning about 8 hands

I still lost and was now down 2200

Shoe 3 became promising after I won two double downs early on -- I was finally able to press some bets out there and, lo and behold, by the end of the shoe, I had gotten back the 2200 plus another 100

Day tripper, Yeah! Make beaucoup bux, AoS, and be sure to tip the servants dealers, since it's Boxing Day!

Thanks just sat down and played half of a shoe and got 900

Trip is +1

Win all you can now, you can use the years's losses to offset for taxes.
In a few days you will have to win approx $150 to replace the $100 you lost this year ;-)
I am all to familiar with this fact....

Hmmmmm what $100?

On the way home - excellent day trip - felt good to finally leave on a positive note for a change

I'm totally lost

that is what you posted in your trip reports, that you were lost for the year. I simply noted that you could win fairly big between now and New Years Day because you already have offsetting losses ( per your own trip reports ) for tax purposes.

If you are still lost,...well...we can start a club. I'm always lost.....

Always feels good to leave on the positive note. I'm glad you got to do that, especially after that start! Good job, Ace!
