Skimmed guide. This certainly reminds me of the movie 21. Not sure why, but I liked that movie.
Thanks for the guide.
The movie "21" shows the actual method accurately, but you do not immediately win millions upon millions of dollars. In addition, you probably won't have sex with another counter and I would not recommend giving your chips to strippers for them to cash out.
Thanks for the compliments though.

I haven't received any questions about it in the past few days. If anyone else asks me anything I'll put one up.

Really awesome guide, and I just read through it, and the entire thread and already feel a lot more knowledgeable on Blackjack in general. I'm going to learn how to do this as fast as possible!
Funny thing is, I got kicked out of a casino once out of dumb luck. I hit a couple small pots early and then just randomly decided to bet big, and won. The pit master came over and kindly asked me to leave the premises. Of course I was a bit shocked and asked why..he walked me over to the door and said "A casino is a business, not the salvation army" and that was it. I was a bit upset (for obvious reasons) but I kind of laugh at it these days ;P

Thanks for the props. I've heard the "this is a business" line way too many times. You start to dislike the casinos even more when you realize they try to intimidate anyone who wins even a little bit of money.

When they kick you out, you get your money back, right?

Since I only play in AC, they aren't even allowed to kick me out. But I believe if you are kicked out you get to keep your money.

I have a few questions.
first, when do you usually decide its time to walk? as in, how far behind or how far ahead will you come out of the table (at max)? from what I can tell by looking at your chart, you seem to bail when you lose about 1k and you stay till you gain 1k. that is just my guess but it seems good.
second, do you leave a table when the count is very negative? (say it is -15 or more) or do you stay and wait for the boot to finish and be replaced?

I decide to walk away when:
A. I'm tired and making mistakes
B. I don't want to play anymore
How much money you have won or lost should have no effect on when you decide to walk away. There is no such thing as hot or cold streaks.. If you are down $2000 after 3 hours you are still expected to win the same amount as always from that point forward.
I don't leave the table because it is usually a pain in the ass to get a seat at a decent table. Sometimes I will leave to go to the bathroom if the count is very negative though.

Even though I didn't win I'm bumping this so people can bring down AC!

Thanks for the bump/post, interesting read :D
So did anyone try this from the guide since it was posted?
and if so what were the results?

ok so the casino i go to has this machine which shuffles the cards. basically how i think it is is this: they have a shoe of about 6 decks in there( i will assume) and then when a certain amount of cards have been dealt they take that and put it back in the machine which makes a small noise(most likely shuffling the cards). so my question is: does this affect the count in any way? it doesnt seem possible to know how deep the cut is and to know when they will changed the next shoe

I have trouble understanding the Illusion 18 chart. It doesn't give any actions (stay, hit, double, split etc), so what exactly is the opposite of normal? Also, will it be more accurate if the counting is more discrete? Instead of having -1, 0, +1, what if we extend it into -1, -0.5, 0, +0.5, +1? Would it be better?
