cool, thank you. A quick question though, what do each of the books teach? Does NBJ teach me all i need to know to play by predicting the clumps? What is in the WCB book? And what about the In Search Of Manual?

hmm yeah it's 500 dollars.. that's really steep for a 18 year old kid starting college next year lol.. is there any way i could JUST buy the NBJ book?

also, how do i start learning about clumping? and how does clumping change what i bet AND how i play hands?

that's really crazy, how come i haven't heard about any of this stuff anywhere else? lol i don't understand exactly how clumping gives the casino an edge though.. i understand how it works, but how does the casino gain (or do they not, it just screws up BS players?)?

wow that's something i have never heard before.. the clumping idea is really interesting. i don't understand exactly how the cards can clump with the dealer shuffling cards so many times (or the machine shuffler). One reason i think people lose so much to the casino is because a lot of idiots have no idea what they're doing at the table (eg chicken hitters)... they're just people playing for fun, they have no intent of working to win, they just want to have some fun with friends and maybe get lucky... these same idiots are the ones pulling the levers at slot machines, feeding money into the casino.

All of these are from "E. Clifton Davis's 10 BJ Tips" What are "new cards"? Does that mean when the casino opens up a new pack of cards? cause i have never seen this. I have heard this in other places. Why do your odds go down with more players? What the hell? How can you base the dealer's hole card on the previous card? How does the card before it have ANY effect on the fact that there is a 4/13 chance that the card underneath is a 10? Is this a joke? Basic strategy includes plenty of splits. It makes a shitload more sense to split 2 8's againsts a 6 and change your 8s into 18s than just keep (or hit and bust) a 16. Am i the only one that doesn't buy this for one second? Counting creates an edge over the casino over thousands of hands that leads to winning. Counting is not outdated. I HATE when people complain about what other people do. WHO CARES? Hypothetically. The Dealer has a 16 and the last player at the table has a 16. The player decides to hit... He gets a 10 and busts and gives the dealer a 5. THERE IS THE EXACT SAME chance that he hits and the second card is a 10. Running? Does this go by the logic that high cards stick together in a deck and lows stick together? Are you kidding me?

what do these stand for? I am pretty new at card counting (just mess around and try to perfect my basic strategy when i go to the casino), and i haven't heard these abbreviations before.
