Doubled my money (almost)

The temptation was irresistable. I went down to the casino with my fellow agents. I observed the blackjack table for awhile before I decided to partake in the decadence. I changed $50 worth of chips and played in the smallest table ($5 per hand). Sting's song came to my head as I started playing....

"He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn't play for the money he wins
He doesn't play for the respect
He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance"

I started calculating probabilities and played accordingly. Even though I lost a few hands I was up by $50 at one point...then it went downhill and I was even again. I was about to give up but I tried again...this time I got back to +$40. I forced myself and left the table with my earnings!! :)

There are some strategy for the game and sourced this chart on-line. Apparently this was devised from millions of simulation even though some doesn't make sense, in the long run, one must have the discipline to follow this.
