<<I have a friend who sold his house and moved to Vegas to count cards about 15 years ago, the house money gone on the tables and the rest up his nose he came crawling back got a job and saved up to go back. Last I heard he was working days in some crappy service job (the guy was an architect) and gambling nights living in a dump in the out skirts of Vegas.>> Sad story...successful advantage play requires a LOT of discipline, and a lot of training, preparation and work. Not unlike running a successful business. The story you relate is not uncommon at all, unfortunately. Much easier to keep the day job and try counting recreationally...that way if you hit a bad swing (which is inevitable), you don't have the pressure of having your mortgage money on the line.
