Okay, I read the entire post, and all the comments, you may all think it is not working or you will lose big time but...
What if I said I have tried it? I am only 18 and play with my dads account who of course is over 21. Well, thing is I tried this, it was introduced to me by a friend (who plays on his mothers account(father passed away)).
It does work, if you know how to play blackjack decently, you win restart the cycle, you lose well bet higher then dammit.
Do what my friend and I do, when we play on our parents' account (I have 2 computers in the same room...we play at the same time every weekend...in the same place)...make a dam long spreadsheet with the amounts you bet in the specific increments so that if you lose, you can just look at the printed paper in front of your face and bet the next needed amount.
Start out with the min bid and keep going up, until it's (I think) 4 times less than total amount you have to put into it. (Be smart, if you know you don't have 960 something dollars to bet next if you lose 480 get out while you can..and restart cycle).
I have never had a job, my friend has never had a job, (my father, and his mother does have a job)...they supply us with the initial amount of money...and we play from there.
Not sure if tynan is lieing on his profits, I would not be able to hit 6 figures, (best to be on the safe side and bet low, play with less cash, and win $$ (covering all expenses)every last game I play for the day.
I honestly think 700-1,200$ a couple days work (play all day long)on initial 100$ investment, is soo much better than the amount of money I would be making working at who knows where, (especially without a college degree...)...1,200 a week times 4 weeks is 4,800.00 a month, (to do whatever with)especially since I have no expenses...4,800.00 times 12 months is 57k a year.
What my friend and I do is a bit more complex (it has some more parts so we know we don't lose), but it works the exact return a week is not exact it is average, some times I make 500$ sometimes I make 1000$ but heck, it's fun and I am probably one of the few 18 year olds that makes that much money over the weekend.
I own websites, (which bring income)...started playing blackjack when I was 16, introduced to us by our neighbor Johnny and his wife Liz who play blackjack every night at their house against each other??? Well I don't think it matters if one loses or the other wins, husband and wife sharing/paying for the same bills anyways.
Tynan glad to see you gave people some insight on a VERY small part of a REALLY long trick to winning.
(Also johnny and liz tried this on vacation in Las Vegas, playing roulette...(too bad they don't have this online..(do they?).
