Sucker you ignorant schmuck! I’m trying to help you. You’re an ingrate. The fake ID with a “false” address was given to me when I didn’t request a specific address. The most common reason for a fake ID is to get into bars and clubs, so they didn’t put much thought into the validity of the...

I will reveal my master secret to you insignificant insects. You puny mortals don’t deserve it, but I feel generous today. Get a fake ID and then a players ratings card. Go online and apply for a second credit card for an authorized user. You can create a random character because the credit...

Foxwoods and Trump Plaza verify the address to be “legitimate”. You can’t have a random fictitious address on your ID because they confirm the address. It can be a liquor store or a public school, but the address must be searchable. Before getting an ID, Google the address to see if such...

You're right. Ian Anderson describes the "black art" of blackjack, rather than the technical aspects. Anderson correctly states that a sharp technical proficiency is useless if there’s no place to apply your trade. I was chased out into the parking lot at Sands in Bethlehem PA by the head...

Sucker, Ian Anderson doesn’t try to take credit for that strategy. He simply described a strategy that someone else used. By the way, if you knew about this, why aren’t *you* using it? Or are you?

On 02/26/2011, I witnessed a remarkably violent event at Caesars. Around 11:00 PM or so, I was walking past one of the blackjack pits (not the no-midshoe entry). The supervisor had a two page document in her hand. The first page had a large face shot of a man wearing a white cap and glasses...

Here’s a quote from the book. “This player has racked up an extraordinary lifetime win of more than $7 million!” By the way, you obviously haven’t read Burning the Tables in Las Vegas. His book ranks waaay up there along with Standford Wong, Arnold Snyder, Peter Griffin, Don Schlesinger, etc.

Can you imagine back counting and then sitting down with a $20k wager? LOL!

The player enters at shuffle. Bets two hands of $10k each, for total of $20k per round. Plays alone (obviously). Pulls out at TC of -1. Never varies the bets.

Ian Anderson (p. 209) describes a technique where you don’t vary your bets at all. You start out with two enormous bets and continue to play until the TC drops below -1, at which point you pull out. I guess you can consider pulling out as dropping your bet to zero, which is sort of like...

My understanding is that the 6:5 payout is only at tables with some “gimmick”. Scantily clad dealers with pushup bras, pole dancing, etc. Another rule change often seen along with 6:5 is, double on 9, 10, or 11 only. Single decks are notorious for having the 6:5 payout, because the single...

You’re not going to believe this, but Trump is offering $1 blackjacks with a 25 cent fee. The 25 cent fee isn’t a wager. It’s a fee for every hand that you play, regardless of whether you win or lose the hand. 25 cents may not seem much, but that represents 25 percent of your wager. That’s...

You’d rather not tell us which system you’re using? LOL! That’s funny.

I think there might be a miscommunication here, which is inevitable on internet forums. Your own hand composition doesn’t change the probability of a ten being in the hole. The remaining deck composition determines the probability of a ten being in the hole. If I understand you correctly...

Just wanted to clear something up here. Your logic is okay for ploppies who aren’t counting. The probability of a ten being in the hole is reduced by the tens already on the table. However, if you know the count, then use the indices. Let’s analyze the scenario that you described. If the TC...
