Default Re: I lose sooo much at blackjack versus poker

Accept the fact that you are going to lose roughly 1% of your total blackjack action. (I'm assuming less than perfect basic strategy + liberal dealer/drink tipping)

So if you only want to lose $100 a session on average, then you can only wager $10,000 per session.

The alternative is to learn to card count. It shouldn't be too hard to learn to count well enough to break even. Counting well enough to actually make money is a bit more difficult.

I did study counting. I think I play near perfect basic strategy.

The problem is, is I don't stick to the betting amount that the count stands because I don't care to wait that long or stick it out when it's not good. I also don't care about the small bets, but the big ones can add up.

Also about the comp stuff, I already get comped pretty much anything I want, gotta ask for the limo drive from my place to theirs still, and I don't find the comps all that amusing.

I don't quite make sense of what you're saying here, but if you're not paying enough attention, and not sticking to a betting structure with a count system, you just throwing away bets.

If you want to have fun, pick an amount you're comfortable losing, flat bet and hope to get lucky.
