How many times your parents exasperated you in your adolescence before any exam telling you to think positive while all you wanted to yell at them that positive thinking won’t tell you between dates one president or another lived. Recently I read a blackjack article which had my parent’s opinion and debated the positive mental attitude in blackjack gambling.
This article referred to positive attitude in relation to the serious card counting or blackjack strategy following player and said that this can enhance your odds towards success.
For the professional blackjack player, he must uphold a 'positive mental attitude' no matter how he is doing on the tables. It is essential, this article said, to keep a totally impassive approach in a casino blackjack game. They say that, if too much passion is taken into the casino blackjack game you’ll get disturbed, agitated, lose concentration, lose will power, or be influenced by one of the many other costs that will in due course result in your defeat. I believe that this may be something to consider and it is kind of obvious that if you let yourself affected by your results, whether good or bad, you can no longer continue with a mathematical blackjack strategy in which you must to obtain an overall winning balance. Other way said, a positive mental attitude is profitable because it is exactly this that will stop him from giving up when he's down, or going on a spending binge when he's up.
The article supports the idea with some numbers. The one keeping a positive mental attitude in blackjack gambling in fact looses 35% of the time, but since he is a card counter he is able to exact a 14% plus over the casino meaning that he does actually make money on each blackjack hand he plays; and it is from this that he takes consolation during his 35% of the time loosing streak!
However, the article does not have any Zen suggestions on how to accomplish this. But I believe that concentration and determination are important factors to consider. Or I believe that starting with free blackjack games one can build up the talent not to care or get caught up emotionally in the activities of the table or indeed your funds.
