I often hear people say, with their bankroll they can't afford good software and books or they don't have the time, yet they go out and play any bj table they come to without knowing anything about the game they are playing or the difference in the games available.
Let's just use CVCX and Blackjack Attack for example. You can purchase both of them for about let's say $ 125. I forgot the exact amount I paid for them but that's close.
Assume you read and examine your games and you increase your advantage from 1% to just 1.5% to use round numbers. One year of play at only 3 hours per week could look something like this:
Rounds Avg Hours Weeks Per Hour Bet Per Week Per Yr Advantage EV 80 50 3 52 0.015 $ 9,360 80 50 3 52 0.01 6,240 Difference $ 3,120
Now how much is that software or that book worth? And that is only a .5% increase. What if you could increase your advantage to 10% at times?
If you can't buy the materials you need or you don't have the time to study them, you shouldn't be playing.
