BJ At An AP Level...

has taught me valuable lessons about money. Unlike in my past, I now have a deeper respect, awareness and appreciation for it right down to the last penny. Everywhere I go, everything I do, even the grocery store, I crunch numbers much more than I ever did before my AP endeavors. I equate money in my regular life to the bullets I sweat during my hours at the tables. For every 1 - 2 bucks I can save in my daily activities, I can save having to risk a $100 on the tables in order to hopefully get it back.

Hence, the higher the level of AP we achieve, the richer we will be in our non-AP daily lives.

Mayor, that's my personal position when it comes to "Blackjack and Life". A possible excerpt for your book. Maybe, maybe? Perhaps I'm not alone with this phenomenal achievement.

You're not alone

Funny you mention that. I became a counter almost exactly one year ago, and the understanding of EV and the relationship between time and money has helped relieve me of a habit that has plagued me since I was 15. It's so humiliating I don't even want to say. But knowing and remembering how hard I have to sweat at the table to earn $200 is sobering and enlightening.

Amazing, how a game like blackjack can become a paradigm for truth and life that can help you in so many other ways.

agree

I am on the same page as you guys. I started a Blackjack journal and kept track of my winnings and losses. Soon after I started an accounting book to see just wear all money I spend is going. I few weeks latter I found myself saving more money and not speading it on things I don't need.
