“True story” - I was on an escalator a few years back in a fairly busy government building. The unthinkable happened: POWER FAILURE!!! I was one of the lucky ones who managed to jump off just in time. 18 others weren't so lucky and were stranded on that thing for over 2 hours. Can you imagine?!? I'm just glad I have that non-moving staircase at home and therefore was well-prepared for this unfortunate incident. It actually wasn't bad for me at all - I just "stepped up"...
Here is my analogy of what it means to learn the game of casino Blackjack and basic strategy, as well as taking the time to develop and practice advanced Blackjack strategy, Blackjack money management and at least a simple Blackjack card counting method.
As you may have noticed, most of the Winning Casino Blackjack website and the contents of the book “Pocket Guide to Winning Blackjack”, are simply presented and to the point. There are good reasons for this:
1. I have very little patience and prefer to find the shortest reasonable path to the goal, whatever that goal is.
2. If it generally takes 20% of your time and effort to produce 80% of the desired result, it doesn’t make sense to me to spend the remaining 80% of your time and effort to finish the remaining 20%. Live a little…
3. Read number 2 again. It really does make sense if you think about it.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT BOTHERS ME MOST IN LIFE is when I get on an escalator, whether or not it is next to a staircase, and the person or people in front of me are standing still and won’t budge. At the end of the “ride”, they start moving their legs (I guess because there is no moving sidewalk and they eventually need to get somewhere).
I am talking about young, able-bodied, healthy and strong LAZY as anything people, the same people that won’t touch a door when entering a building that has 10 doors across. They could go into any of them, but insist on walking or running right up behind the person ahead of them so they can slip through the open door without touching it. These are lazy people. Lazy people who expect others to do things for them.
The same holds true in a casino gambling game like Blackjack. The tools and everything else you need to succeed and speed ahead of all the lazy and ignorant people are right there in front of you for the taking! Blackjack basic strategy, Blackjack money management, Blackjack probability, Blackjack card counting…THESE are your tools.
Use that MOVING STAIRCASE (A.K.A “escalator”) to your advantage. Move those legs as if it were a regular, stationary, non-moving staircase and speed right ahead of the rest of them. You are now using a tool to your advantage and increasing your efficiency.
The Winning Casino Blackjack website together with Pocket Guide to Winning Blackjack is your “moving staircase” for casino Blackjack. So, jump on and let’s take our knowledge and strategy and be prepared as best as possible when we play Blackjack.
“It’s a moving staircase, NOT A RIDE!” (J. Schaffel, 2007)
