Oh, you think you should tell him the next card is a 5? Really? And if he loses, you’ll pay him triple, too? Let’s think about that for a second. Do you have any idea what you’re suggesting? That is a monumentally, catastrophically bad idea. That’s not strategy; that’s just handing your money away. You don’t make promises like that. You don’t ever, ever guarantee an outcome and then triple down on the loss. What are you even doing? The entire point is to manage risk, not to volunteer for financial ruin. You need to understand the fundamentals here. Stick to the system, watch the count, and make your play based on the math. Don’t just blurt out predictions and back them up with your wallet. That’s a surefire way to lose everything. Trust me.
