So I’m finally back from Las Vegas, getting ready for my upcoming Toronto Bootcamp (some seats are still available, FYI), but I have one more idea from Las Vegas that I want to share with my readers.
The picture on the left here is a blackjack strategy card. It tells you what is statistically the best move to make in any situation you will face at a blackjack table. If you follow it faithfully, you can bring your odds at blackjack up to around 49% vs the dealer’s 51%.
In a sense, this strategy card is a lot like what I teach my students at blackjack. The mystery method teaches guys what are statistically the best strategies for any given situation. Now, that doesn’t mean that you can’t open with “Hey baby, wanna come back to my place”, but statistically, that’s a lousy strategy. Even guys with bad strategies get laid, just like you can hit on a 17, and sometimes you’ll draw a 4.
The thing with blackjack though is that this strategy is fixed, you can’t influence the card you’re dealt, or affect chance. But with women, it works differently. Not only can you change the cards in your deck by improving your lifestyle and the way you present yourself, but you can hit on a hard 17 and be pretty confident you’re going to draw a 4.

Dealing with Human Beings is like playing Blackjack – a game with a fixed set of finite rules that ultimately depends largely on a random draw of the card???
That’s a bit of a stretch..
And we’re not even talking normal human beings.
We’re talking chicks…
