Record keeping

Any serious player should make a point of accurately diarising all of their Blackjack sessions. They should list not just their wins and losses, but the different playing conditions encountered and how they reacted to them. They will find this information invaluable when determining their playing strategies for future sessions.

It will also help in keeping check on their finances. Without a record, it is easy for a player to lose track of their financial situation. In time, recollections can become distorted. An accurate record of events will counter any points that the player may be unsure of. In the life of a Blackjack player, there will be times of depression and self-doubt. A notebook can help remind a player of past successes thereby leaving them confident and eager to embark upon their next session.
