patron, My biggest blackjack coup was in Vienna in the mid 80s. I was at a table and the dealer couldn't buy a good hand. Everyone at the table was making out big, but most thought that the luck would change at any time. I was going with the flow and increasing bets with the house money. I turned a few hundred into $7000 in an hour or two. People were shocked when I walked away, but I was getting tired and missing the count, so I ended the streak myself. The next night in Baden, I sat down and lost my $200 maximum risk capital in about 15 minutes, so I guess luck has no stamina. g>
