I’m pretty proud of myself for refraining from blackjack almost completely in the last couple weeks. Obviously the reason has to be sought in me dropping quite a lot of money in the past couple months — but still — the result is me playing less and fighting my gambling addiction, and that’s positive.
I’ll keep you posted of how I do NOT playing — I hope I can post here again in January telling you I’m still “clean”.
Pray for me, will you?

I’ve been running okay in a single deck game I found on a boat! Have been counting and have been doing well; haven’t run into any trouble just yet, which is great.
I’m up $9400 in about two weeks, taking a break now to make sure I can keep playing the boat in the future…

I’ve had a tough month of September on the blackjack tables and it’s pretty much due to not sticking to my “discipline”-promise. I started playing $1000 a hand again and even though I was up about 24 thousand that one night I ended up losing $30,000 total, which is a pretty sick amount for someone with my income… I’m losing in poker too…
I suppose I haven’t conquered my gambling addiction just yet. I only played 5 days, but the days I played — were hefty…
Hang in there with me.

My blackjack results for the first few days of July are resembling those of the rest of June - steady in the plus thanks to finding a new 4-deck shoe-game which allows me to count much easier than the 6-deck game I had at my local casino. Also - I’ve been doing great on the addiction side of my gambling hobby. I’ve put myself on a tough schedule not playing for 5 days in a row at some points during a work week and getting just a set amount of hours during weekend play… Not only does it work for now but it also means I can’t keep track of my win/losses during a session that much as I am supposed to leave the blackjack table at a specific hour anyway…
I have allowed ONE exception — I’m allowed to keep playing if the deck is hot, but quit when it drops below my collercount.
Wish me luck everyone!

I’ve climbed from my negative downfall at the start of 2008 and turned it into a marginal plus for the year.
I realize it’s minimal, but at least we’re not $5000 behind…
Wish me luck for May!

Have been on a cold streak and it’s hurting. I’ve gone back to gambling more than I was hoping to do, and I’m learning my lesson the hard way.
Down a couple grand for April and only had a couple winning sessions early in the month.
Planning a couple days outside the country, hope they don’t have casinos in Valencia.

I guess Dave “The Devilfish” Ulliot needed money.
