    6&8

    If you can control your throws to decrease the probability of the seven, then this is profitable. I also like using matchplays like this. I bet cash and a match play on the dont pass bar, then place the 6 and 8 and press up my winnings. If the first roll is the seven out, oh well, I just take...

    Twenty-something hits Presque Isle Downs for half-million at BJ

    A few bucks an hour is a good tip rate no matter what stakes. All a dealer is doing is dealing cards and paying the players. A dealer dealing a $100 minimum game doesn't have more specialized skills than a dealer dealing a $10 minimum game. If you feel that dealers should earn more than minimum...

    Does the eye-in-the-sky know the count?

    Yes, they do. My first backoff was when I was just playing red at an iTable and I only won $1200 from a $200 buy in.

    Don't want to show ID

    It's illegal to show a fake ID to the police and to gamble underage. It's not illegal to show a fake ID to a pit boss when you're over 21.

    Dover Downs or Harrah's Chester?

    Parx has more heat than Harrahs Chester. I've been backed off last year just betting red and having only a $1500 win at Parx. I'm playing again at Parx now, betting green, and get stared at sometimes. The only game I play rated at Parx is poker since my blackjack rep there is shot. Haven't...

    Casinos as Massive Money Laundering Centers

    It's easy to launder money through a casino. Buy in for a lot, play a low house edge game like blackjack or craps, then cash out. If asked about the source of the money, you won it gambling.

    Coloring up

    They track your wins and losses when you color up if you're rated. So if you're ratholing, only color up what's in front of you.

    This is what playing BJ is all about.

    If you win big early and you quit because of heat, play a few hours of poker. They will get bored of waiting for you to leave the casino and find a new target

    This is what playing BJ is all about.

    I have literally had my wallet burst at its seams once after a huge win. I had withdrawn my session bankroll of $2500 and the ATM gave me fifties instead of hundreds. I bought in for $300 and ran that up to almost $4000 after an awesome session where I was making huge bets at high counts and...

    Is it right to double down a blackjack if you know you'll get a 10?

    If you know you'll get a 10 because it has been exposed and the dealer says that the 10 will be the next card, you're sitting at 3rd base with a blackjack. Is it better to double down your blackjack and take the 10? Or should you just take the automatic 3:2 payoff? Let's assume that you can't...

    First Card is an Ace stragedy!

    With an ace, a 10 is a soft 20 and a 11 is a soft 21 a.k.a. blackjack. You'd almost never double those hands.
