Knowing when to leave the table is analogous to buying a book from a
con man that pupports to show you how to (1) beat the casinos or (2)
achieve success from buying or selling books.

I realize the con men tout otherwise, but you cannot turn a negative
expectation game into a positive one. You cannot beat BJ with a card
counting system no more than you can beat craps with a betting system.

It doesn't matter when you leave. BJ is a never ending game. The
table does not know when you left the casino...when you return the
game simply continues....

That is unless you are a complete and utter moron that thinks you can
change a negative expectation game into a positive one simply by
leaving the table when you might be ahead of the game.

If you *really* want to experience nausea, just read one of your
posts....you cannot change a negative expectation game into a positive
one just because you ate some bad hot dogs....moron.

Moron?

Wow, let me get my crack-team of attorneys to start drawing up the papers for
the law-suit. You overemotional half-wit.
