Discipline in Blackjack
By John Patrick

We swing into the final stages of counting and glide into the part of the Big 4 that is the single biggest obstacle in the path of consistent winning days. The last and most difficult part of the Big 4 is Discipline.

The reason it's so difficult is that no one wants to follow the rules. Everyone knows it's the key to winning and everyone promises to practice it, but saying it and doing it are two different matters.

If you absorbed all of the messages that were passed on to you throughout the sections of Casino Bankroll, Knowledge of the Game and Money Management, you'd have seen how they rely on, each other to reach the ultimate goal - winning.
However, each part of the Big 4 is useless by itself. My friend X. S. Kash is a prime example. He has so much money that even God approached him for a- loan when He was planning to renovate Heaven.

Anyhow, X. S. Kash has one weakness: he loves to play Blackjack . But even with all his money, he has yet to have a winning day. He doesn't know how to bet. So having money to play with is not your answer, although some guys think that a big roll guarantees constant returns.

Same is true when you lack money and can count a deck of cards in 31/2 seconds. If you don't have money to bet, you can't play. Ninety percent of the people who gamble, lack at least one part of the Big 4 and that is too much to overcome. You must have the whole batch, in order to compete and hope to win. Discipline is in the same family as the other three. If you  Isn’t going to follow the rules I lay down for you, then the other 3 parts won't mean diddly dang. Just take 5 minutes out of your hectic day, to dwell on each of these items in the Big 4. It is so easy to see how each of them offers Something; toward get you to the pinnacle of success.   

Eventually the art of winning will always end up with the player himself If you want to win, you got to perfect discipline it’s so unbelievably hard to do this, but it sure beats leaving the casino in a rotten mood, time after time after time I told you earlier that 70% of the people who gamble, are ahead at one time during the course of their day, based on their starting Bankroll But 90% of that 70% kick it back to the house Why? Cause they're dopes...  1. M. Tite is running a little low on funds and has a tough time scraping together enough change to buy the daily paper. But he won't stop gambling.  Eventually he saves $100 that he takes to the casino and recites the Rosary eleven times on the bus, praying for just a small $30 or $40 profit. On this particular day he catches an ice cold dealer and runs his winnings up to $200. He hasn't seen bread like this since he got lost in a bakery, back when he was four    
years old. Do you think this dork will take his profit and run? No  way!!! 1. M. Tite becomes 1. M. Nuts and starts upping his bets.

Pretty soon his $200 profit, plus his $100 Bankroll, are a thing of the past.  He is wiped out and the ride home is like the death    march from Battaan. He wants to die. Way, way, way, way back in his mind he knows he done wrong. But he won't admit it. He's too busy blaming bad cards, bad luck, roten players at the table, and lucky dealers.

You know who he should blame? No one but himself. He has no Discipline and no right to be gambling. His next trip will be no different. The results are always the same. He'll never stop going for the kill.

How about you? You got Discipline? If you don't ... get it or you'll never win at blackjack gambling.
Discipline is an art. It takes guts to discipline yourself. If you ain't got Discipline and don't even have the guts to force yourself to practice control of some type, then I sure as heck can't help you.

Telling you that you need Discipline won't do the trick. You gotta suck up your gut and Learn How to Win.
