J.J,sir,if I may?
I am assuming your debt is not incorporated into your +/- totals.
Also,I am assuming your living costs are not either.Can you please give a rough estimate of your living costs?
i know the big is $800 a month,just unsure of living costs.Basically,I want to see if this moving to Vegas thing can really be done?Thanks.

J.J, You need to start a new strategy.This is a must if you want to keep the life style.
First of all,let me say,you are doing great with your sport picks.Keep up the good work.
However,this must be kept separate from living expenses & such.You will need to have a daily budget for living expenses.The sports winnings need to stay separate from living expenses.Out of your bankroll from the 15k,you need to set aside a secondary bankroll for living expenses.1k a day bankroll in the casinos.Get familiar with 2 casinos,get players club cards.Every day,between handicapping you need to get rated @ the tables.Go to casino 1 with 1k @ blackjack,play @ $25 tables,slow & steady.Taking advantage of all opportunities,double downs etc.The goal will be a 25% return on the 1k equaling $250.You then take a break,handicap,jerk off,whores,whatever flats yer boat.I prefer handicapping.Get your pick in for the sports book.Then head to casino "b" & repeat the process.Before you know it,you will be making an income & getting comps galore.The trick is discipline,which you have shown you have on the sports side.J.J, you can do this.You didn't come all the way to Vegas from Jersey to get a lousy job dealin cards.Now get out there & make your dream happen damnit.I am pulling for you.You can do it.Best of luck.

Blackjack is a very tricky game to win straight up over time. Watch the Don Johnson story, the only way to even have odds against the house are to negotiate terms such as he did; 20-25% return on all losses, Waving off a bet you laid 1,000 on and if the dealer deals you a card you auto-win, dealing standing rules, double and splits allowed, and even @ those odds the house still has a 1-3% (i forget) advantage.
I'm nearly a perfect blackjack player and enjoy the game, i travel and play all over the country every friday and saturday for fun. I win, I lose. I don't ever come up big and keep doing it...I find capping pays off way better than BJ.... i mean, at least you have 50% odds on sports capping.
I do agree with you though. There needs to be intensive money management, or stupidly bet a pound play with 10-15% of bankroll and roll the dice, i mean, he's right JJ. You seemingly came too far to live this life and you've been capping well. Don't fall short here, prove to all these fuker's that someone can have nothing, get a loan from a shark, move to vegas and WIN. I doubt anyone here thinks you can do it, and i would love for you to prove everyone wrong. Whether it was you or anyone on here. Just make it happen brother. Rootin for ya

$25 hands of blackjack can go south quick. He could easily lose $500 in one sitting, and $500 could buy plenty of lunches and dinners.
Why do you think they give you that incentive? Because its +EV?

Dude, you must be shrooming.
Playing blackjack to get a free lunch is like committing suicide so you dont have to go to work the next day. Yes JJ has balls and is trying to make it in vegas, but telling a guy to play blackjack is just plain stupid. You obviously have no idea wtf you're talking about, you're on a sports betting forum dunce capping and kazooing.

I play $25/$50 hands. $500 will run through you faster than a sports match if you aren't very sharp.
