Oops. Sorry for the repost.

(Dead link: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/tech/2009/02/16/tsr.tatton.iphone.card.counting.cnn) Seems pretty obvious, but yet another thing to arouse suspicions...

So there is a method to gain a mathematically verifiable advantage over the house on each of those games?

How do you establish a player advantage in craps?

Well, then what are the others? You could argue poker, but that doesn't fit the criteria of killing time while waiting for blackjack. Poker is usually the longest wait in the casino.

Baccarat and Craps have low HA, but make no mistake. Blackjack is the only beatable game in the casino, in the long term.

A very last resort. I'm currently on a Vegas trip and have witnessed 2 counting mistakes by dealers thus far.

Again, for the 3rd time I was playing low minimums, and again, the $15 tables at Greektown are CSMs...

Well, here's an update: I started out at Greektown, where I noticed the CSMs right after I cashed in. I proceeded to immediately cash back out. I'm sure they loved me. I then went to MGM Grand. All tables are 8 deck, except for the $50 min. tables, which are 6. No surrender, H17, No...
