Putting the fun
back in to Blackjack!

“Poor yourself an old red river spoonful, Kojack, it’s time to play some blackjack games.” – Yvette Fielding

You know, the older I get, the more I seem to get behind and even in-live with the cosmos. Yeah, those lucky stars way up in the sky seem to talk a little clear into my third ear. I feel like I know when good tiems are heading my way, and also when the clouds are gathering for some kind of losing storm. And right now the weather report says ‘A-OK’.

Sometimes when things go your way you can’t help but wanna play a few more games of blackjack. After all, that’s the reason you’re feeling so good, blue. But what you’ve gotta be careful of is spitting too many times into the old Mississippi wind. Hey, ain’t nothing worse than a faceful of your own cocky gob…

What I’m saying to you blackjack players is not to get too confident when you play. Sure, you can have a good time with the cards for a little while, but don’t you forget that those cards will just as soon slap you on the face than pat your head and clal you pretty. Ain’t no doubt it’s plain to see…

This summer when I hit the card table – in both life and cards – I’ll be saying a little mantra to myself to keep me down on this old Earth. It’s real simple but it’s for me and me alone. I’d hate to share my secret with you, dear readers, but secrets are called secrets because they are secrets. And sometimes things real are that simple.

So slip on your old crocodile shoes and head to the river for a barney, because gosh darn it you’re going to need to listening to the flow of Old Father Water as the find your own little head-saying.

Hey, you should listen when your head talks to you. That’s what it’s there for…

Playing cards ain’t quite as simple as knowing when to hold ‘em, when to fold ‘em, and when to get your trainers on for a run. Like the man said, you never count your money, while you’re sitting at the table – they’ll be time enough for that afterwards.

I couldn’t agree with Kenny Rogers anymore. It’s important that when you’re at that table playing online blackjack you have nothing on your mind but the cards, and beating your opponent. You see, if you bring your baggage and bank balance ot the table with you, before long it’ll be ruling your hand and the way you play. Before longer you’ll be looking for sensible debt loans rather than an Ace to dig you out of a hole.

There’s been trouble in the past between me and money, that’s for sure. Been days where I preferred to sleep in a bus shelter than go home. Thing is, I wasn’t even playing at the time – I only play blackjack online when my finances allow. My tough times with money have been purely caused by tough jobs and tougher luck. Sometimes fate ain’t as easy to call as a flip of a card…

But what you’ve gotta remember is that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. So that means if one day you’re luck is down, you better strap yourself in because pretty soon it’s going to be up again. That’s how it works in this world, and that’s how I like it!

So as the days get a little lighter, little warmer, little sweater, don’t let yourself overheat. Just remember that whatever good or bad days come as you play, there’s always God Almighty ready and waiting to bring you down a peg or two or, and here’s the fun part, raise you up to sit on his cloud with him a little bit.

Keep on truckin’.
