OT - Blackjack The problem with shorting a stock that has gone up 800% is that it could go up another 25% or so and your margin call can wipe you out. I have an odds calculator somewhere for BJ, I'm sure the risk of losing was around 10%-15%. Great news that he won, but very risky for investing or blackjack. Michael ps - many of the places I've played won't allow mid-shoe entry for the 1 or 2 deck games.
