I'm A Mom - And A Professional Blackjack Player!
That’s what my kids said when they found out that I was earning a living by playing Blackjack! Never would I have believed that my best fun and entertainment would end up as my vocation. Wow! Actually, My husband and I have been playing for fun for years and were doing quite well - but it’s very interesting how much more committed to your mission you get when it’s your living. Blackjack is one of few games in which the player is actively involved in determining his own fortune, or loss, rather than merely wagering on the outcome of an event over which he has little, if any, control. This aspect is one of the factors that makes blackjack a winnable game … for the player who knows how to win. Winning blackjack players know how to play the game. This means having a complete knowledge of how to play blackjack, not just a basic understanding of the game play and how to place bets. To win at blackjack, you start with the fundamentals of basic strategy - how to play hard hands and how to play soft hands. You also learn when to split pairs and when to double down against the dealer. Then once you've mastered that, you start learning more advanced strategies, like simple card counts and betting strategies. It's important to note that the advanced strategy stuff, the stuff that gives you the edge, comes AFTER you've learned the basic stuff like basic strategy. Learning to play blackjack as an expert is HARD. Not only do you have to memorize all the correct strategic moves, you also have to consistently make the correct plays. Otherwise you're just going to lose. The house edge will increase with every mistake you commit, and your bankroll will dwindle to nothing. You have to be dedicated enough to LEARN to play correctly, then disciplined enough to actually play correctly, and then obsessed enough to keep good records of your results. And then practice, practice, practice. And in blackjack, that means you have to play. The more you play, the more experience you get. And the more experience you have as a blackjack player, the better your chances of beating the game become. Experienced players make fewer mistakes, they're able to concentrate for longer periods of time, and they're able to analyze new situations and strategies quickly to determine their advantages. It’s a great lifestyle and a great living, but you have to be committed , disciplined and sometime just plain BRAVE. It’s not for the faint-hearted or the fool-hardy, but it CAN be done.
