I was pretty shell-shocked the next morning when I sobered up. |

it is fair to say that you implied that the ability to count cards was an obstacle to "easy money." An impediment or hindrance to achieving or obtaining something with ease is generally regarded as making it more difficult. An impediment or hindrance defined by latent characteristics, such as the concentration required by card counting, is generally described as "difficult."

Poker is much easier, and you're doing it with casino consent (although most casinos won't care about counting unless you're blatant or at really high stakes).
Of course, the advantage of blackjack is comps. You can lead a pretty nice lifestyle counting, even without pulling out huge money. |

i'm just saying that for someone who wants lots of game play, craps is great so long as you can play with enough cash to get plenty of play given the minimums. |

She is certainly a fickle bitch though. I've played enough to have seen runs where someone (including myself) rolls for like an hour, as well as see the dice get passed around the table with each shooter sevening out almost immediately after setting a point.
One time, this dude gets the dice and rolls a seven on the come out roll. Ok great, everyone gets paid on the line. Then he rolls another seven. Awesome, paid again. He went on to roll like 8 or 9 sevens in a row on the come out, and eveyone was loving it. When he finally set a point, everyone starts putting their money out on the usual bets. I had my chips in hand, about to put my money out when I thought to myself "wait a minute, this guy is really good at rolling sevens." So I just left my passline bet out there and nothing else. Sure enough, he sevens out on the first roll after the point. I know, cool story bro.
The best I've ever done was hit 5 out of 6 points for the fire bet. I rolled for probably around 40 minutes, made a few k, and was a popular dude. |

Admittedly, rereading my poast, I do sound kind of dumb. But still. |

The point is that most gambling anecdotes that merely report short term variances or describe someone having mystical foresight into the outcome of randomness are from people who don't understand statistical probabilities, the principle that past performance does not imply future results and, relatedly, optimal betting strategies. To be fair, this is far more common and indicative of intelligence in poker than table games for a variety of reasons, but still. |

Some still use the shoe, 6-8 decks and they deal until most of the cards are gone, then reshuffle.
If you are going to count, you can't do it with the continuous shuffle machines, but you can do it with the shoe.
But really, you should just give up on the whole thing, play perfect basic strategy and enjoy yourself. |
