What do you like about this subject?
It is the only game in the casino where you can have a guaranteed mathematical advantage over the house.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?
I want to continue to teach people how to beat the casino at blackjack. I don't like to see people lose....I want them to win and win large.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject
When you are a very good card counter, the casinos will start to throw you out or ask you not to play? Why is that fair? It isn't gambling if the casino gets to allow only disadvantaged players to play.
