blackjack counting devices

[drmancartel]

Is the casey computer counting device actually effective/profitable in a 6-deck game? IF it is how much more than regular hi-lo counting.

Not enough to bail you out of prison when you get caught. That is if you plan on using it in a casino

The first rule about Illegal Activities is that you don't talk about Illegal Activities.

Yeah and rule number two is not to trust people who publicly tell you about illegal activities.

That is if they take you to prison. In countries like Russia and Columbia the people who own casinos are not the type ot businessmen you want to negotiate with.

I do not know if it is a Class C or a Class D or whatever, but it is
clearly a felony conviction that will be indefensible if you are caught.

Misdemeanors and Violations I can handle.

Felonies are not to be sneezed at.

Jesus!!!! relax guys. I never said i was going to use it. All i asked was if the device actually works in a 6-deck game that is all. So easy on the felony and jail time. Let's focus on the question. thanks.

Yeah, you're right, I guess we should focus on the question at hand.

While we're at it, let's talk about the best way to grab a handful of $500 chips and run for the door, and whether selling crack in a casino bathroom is effective at padding your bankroll or not.

And since laws seem to be totally irrelevant in this thread, might I suggest that you go and get a bunch of fake passports and a few sawed-off shotguns so that when the police come after you, you're well-armed, and if they somehow nab you, they can't find your real ID.

You know, just in case crack or grand theft or using a computer to play blackjack at a casino ever becomes legal.

Ken Uston's last book had a bunch on using a computer in the 80's right before they were illegalized in nevada.

The advantage of perfect play is pretty enormous. But I guess it helps a lot if the game has deep penetration, which is where you can get the truly unusual plays.

Using computers isn't illegal everywhere on the planet - it's not where I live.

Well it may not be illegal in the Galapagos Islands for all that I know. L.O.L.

So ... where do you reside?

On a serious note, there were news articles earlier this year about a team that used hidden electronic devices to beat the roulette wheels in a London Casino (for HUGE money) and were ultimately exonerated by a court, (after spending some time in jail I believe)
