Q: . First things first, you can't really be an effective card counter if you don't know the ins and outs of basic blackjack strategy. Sure, you could count the cards, but it wouldn't result in you winning anything. Try to walk before you run.  It's in your favor to practice in casinos, if you plan on counting cards at casinos. Unlike at your kitchen table, there are a ton of other factors going on that must be considered -- like hiding the fact that you're hustling everyone. When you play blackjack with a well-practiced strategy, you get the house's advantage to relatively 0. All casino games are in favor of the house, so this 0 is pretty good! You should be a machine when it comes to this game, spitting out the best thing to do in split seconds. You shouldn't need a book open, you shouldn't need a second to think, and you should be able to do it with one eye closed and both arms tied behind your back. Knowing this game like the back of your hand is the only way you'll make money. Counting cards gives you a one percent edge. If you're betting $100, that's $1 you make per hand. The only way this 1% will result in you banking millions is if you have it down to a legitimate art. General strategy for card counting uses the Hi-Lo strategy. High cards are given a specific value (-1) and low cards are given a specific value (+1). When added up, they total the running count. That's it. The simpler you can keep it, the less your brain will want to explode -- so think of this simplicity as a good thing. Understand why card counting works. It works because high cards (tens) improve a player's chances of hitting a blackjack, which pays out at 3:2. They also increase the dealer's chances of going "bust." Low cards, on the other hand, are bad for the player (who wants a blackjack and to beat the house) but good for the dealer (they prevent them from busting on 16 or lower).
A: Learn basic strategy Get so good at blackjack it's like breathing. Familiarize yourself with the concept of counting cards.

Article: The most important thing you can do to make sure annoying situations like nagging don't occur is to simply stay in good touch with your parents. Most of the time, nagging happens because of a lack of initial communication. Making sure both sides are voicing their feelings equally will limit the amount of nagging in the future. Especially if most of your relationship with your parents is defined by a lack of communication and tendency to argue, openly communicating can be a very difficult thing to accomplish. Be patient if it doesn't come naturally at first; say what you feel, ask what they're looking for, and let them know they have your ear if something ever bothers them. From there, the pieces will fall into place given time. While parents haven't likely considered how unhealthy constant pestering is for you, it's even less likely they've considered their own health. If nagging is a severe problem in your household, getting together as a team and looking for alternatives to nagging will almost certainly be a relief for both parties. Once you're speaking candidly about how you're feeling, it may be helpful to get together and list down some clear boundaries. While writing down rules to limit nagging and other annoying behaviour might seem overly official, having the rules on paper will give either side something concrete to bring up if a rule is broken. This is about as simple as it gets: if you tell them what they want to know before they ask, they won't have a reason to ask in the first place! If your parents are constantly annoying you looking for information, you can avoid the most stressful part of the formula by letting them know ahead of time.  The strongest example of this would be if you're going out at night. While most parents will want the know where, and with whom you're going, writing the basic details down on a piece of paper and giving it to them will likely set their hearts at rest. To some extent, this advice could also apply to your parents bothering you about chores. Instead of waiting for them to nag you, doing the scheduled task ahead of time will put you at an advantage; you won't be doing any more work than you'd usually be doing, but you'll have proven that you're responsible and proactive, and that nagging you serves no productive purpose. Even if you and your parents come up with some rule against nagging, it's likely they'll end up forgetting once in a while-- after all, your parents are human too! If they ever nag you again after a rule is in place, calmly let them know what they're doing isn't good for either of you.
