Two questions…
1) Is there a ‘gambling college’?
I heard there was a school in New Jersey where they actually teach people how to have advantage over casinos, and there is a such thing as ‘professional’ players, who make careers out of it, as well as big bucks and multimillion dollar homes. There are a few games, such as blackjack, poker and vid poker where some strategies can be applied (ie card counting, high betting, probability analyzing, etc). Maybe it can be learned somewhere, I mean, there’s enough gambling books to fill a library. It’s mathemathics, not ‘cheating’ and ‘busting’, that’s smoke and mirrors.
I tried googling “gambling college”, but its a ‘secret thing’, and certain ‘secret things’ don’t show up on google.
2) Can anybody show me how to count cards?
Thanks.

I have never heard of a “college” for “advantage play” which is what it is called, however there are many successful, professional advantage players that assault casinos every day, not all of them play for the big bucks, some people do ti just for fun, because no matter how good you are, there is still a gambling nature to the occupation, while you may have a 99% chance to make unlimited money your whole life, you may suffer a 1% chance of losing some enormous figure like 20k, to some people this is not acceptable so they play for small amounts just for fun.
I would be happy to open up advantage play 101 classes for 1 on 1 training for a small fee, I live in NJ, and could teach you EVERYTHING you will need to know as well as teach you many secrets not talked about in books. My friends have actually suggested this many times, my main objection has always been that most people dont BELIEVE that casinos are beatable (when in fact it is very beatable), so i would have difficulty finding students.
I take blackjack above and beyond counting cards to extract every ounce of EV I can from the game in any manor possible, i have endless tactics to teach you if you are interested. Having a private instructor is a good way to go considering eventually YOUR money will be on the felt, a book will not tell you if you have NOT learned something important while an instructor will. Also books only list the minimum neccessary information to COUNT, playing at the tables undetected is a whole different ballgame.
Write me an email so that we can talk, id be happy to help you learn. I wouldnt charge hourly but more like a one time fee for a couple weeks of lessons.
