Just had to share this one. Last weekend, I walked into a local casino with $50 in my pocket, ready to hit the blackjack tables. I’ve been playing for years, sticking to basic strategy and keeping my bets modest. This time, I started with $5 hands, focusing on splitting pairs and doubling down when the dealer showed weak cards. Got a lucky streak around the third shoe—caught a few 20s and a couple of blackjacks in a row. Bumped my bets to $25, then $50 as the count felt right. By the end of the night, I cashed out at $5,000. Paid for my drinks with cash and walked away grinning. Trusting the math and staying calm was key. Anyone else got a hot blackjack story?
