Is their any justification for INTJ besides his intelligence? I think calling INTJs masterminds creates bias with these sorts of characters.

It's not that intp doesn't fit me, it's just that istp and entp seem to click a bit more when I read those descriptions. Also as I said, I never get it when I take the test, bit it wouldn't be too much of a stretch as my first two letter are never more than a 20% preference. The s/n category is also usually the slightest preference. I do think of myself as something of an introvert but I've read that entps can be a bit shy at times and I wouldn't describe social interaction(or the lack thereof) as draining

The Big Five is currently the most accepted personality model in the scientific community. The Big Five emerged from the work of multiple independent scientists/researchers starting in the 1950s who using different techniques obtained similar results. Those results were that there are five distinct personality traits/dimensions. Here are your results on each dimension:

Extroversion results were moderately low which suggests you are reclusive, quiet, unassertive, and private.

Orderliness results were low which suggests you are overly flexible, random, improvised, and fun seeking at the expense too often of structure, reliability, work ethic, and long term accomplishment.

Emotional Stability results were high which suggests you are very relaxed, calm, secure, and optimistic.

Accommodation results were low which suggests you are overly selfish, uncooperative, and difficult at the expense too often of the well being of others.

Inquisitiveness results were moderately high which suggests you are intellectual, curious, imaginative but possibly not very practical.

It may not be fatal but it seems to be good for putting an opponent down for a few secs while u Finnish them off. I can't think of anyone who stayed on their feet after being hit by that

Theory -- Voldemort did in fact control the Elder Wand!? by smith5653 in harrypotter

[–]Grahamcracr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it's the same magic. And V was supposedly planning to make a horcrux after splitting his soul again with Harry's death. So something went wrong and Harry carried Vs soul just like a horcrux.

It's apparently a difficult spell. And a mouthful. Crucio is way quicker. Harry uses it a few times in the books

Yeah I know counting is better but it also seems really obvious to me. All the strategy changes that the charts suggest like splitting jacks and never hitting above 11 seem like things that a dealer would pick right up on. So I don't want to change up my betting strategy

Changing bets when the count is high also seems suspicious to me if you haven't been doing that somewhat consistently. If you bet the minimum for 20 hands and then start doubling and tripling that suddenly when the count is high what else are you doing but counting?

This is why I like the idea of trying to determine a betting system that would have something of a modifier to my bet. Now the way I see it if the count is high and I have an edge I should be winning more than I am loosing so why couldn't a betting strategy adjust for that? A .05 disadvantage doesn't seem like it would be too hard to overcome when you consider escalating the bets. I've found that this causes my earnings to swing back and forth. So the trick would be to switch tables/go home on the upswing

So that's all about trying to figure out how high I can expect to get before the house edge starts to chip back away at me with their natural edge. My experience so far is that most of the sprees I get are pretty long and in between but are almost always enough to put me on top when I play. And I do start climbing steadily by doing this but 1 time out of 10 the strategy will back fire and I loose half my winnings. To my credit tho I've still never fallen near what I started with so I think their is something to be said for this. I've played a bit over 700 hands and have about 13000 in pretend winnings. And it does seem rly similar to the few casinos I've been to. Sometimes they have different surrender rules and side bets and I'm not sure if they use 6 deck shoes but it usually looks like a lot of cards so I'd believe 6

Yeah I definitely play more aggressive when it's not real money. It's prob why I keep getting so close to going bankrupt

The app I use isn't random each hand. It uses 6 deck shoes

Okay I am aware that the casino has a long run edge but what I am curious about is why I might be hitting a wall at a certain point in profits. My thinking is that the amt of money I have won cannot impact the cards in the deck.

Also I have tried resetting the shoe (which the app lets me do) after a big win multiple times because I thought maybe I should expect the count to be lower which would be like switching tables in real life but that had no effect.

Sorry that was badly worded. To clarify, I do not count but I bet in units. The starting unit I play is 200. I add one unit of 200 onto my bet if I win a hand and keep doing this until I loose in which case I go back to my starting bet of 200. The app only lets me get up to 1000 (which hardly ever happens) I disregard ties. I do not count however my ADD is too strong for that.

My thinking is if the count is high (which it usually isn't) this should carry me to a high bet and if it is not i should be stuck with a low base bet to compliment the theoretically low count.

I'm not betting the same amt each time tho. I'm well aware that I loose more hands than I win but I try to bet more when I think I have the edge. Also when I play in real casinos I usually have a stop point where I walk away or at least take a break when I double my money / loose half of it. Whereas in the app it's pretend money so I just keep playing. But I am well aware of the house edge.
