His exteme interest in other player's hands and his interaction with them leads me to believe he works there and his job is to distract possible AP's until they leave or start making enough mistakes.

I saw this guy in action again tonight. He was on the $50 table closest to the no smoking pit harassing a couple of stereotypical AP looking guys. His hair is actually light brown, buzzcut and he was wearing a blue/white striped button down shirt and jeans. He stands alot while "playing" and...

You have to assume that they can backoff or ban you anywhere except NJ. They may be reluctant to ban AP's for fear of inviting another NJ style lawsuit.

If you run a computer simulation long enough you will see that the Martingale system only gives +EV with infinite limits. If you place any limits at all on your bankroll, or table limits, or "stop losses" the EV snaps back to exactly what it is with flat betting (but with enormous variance)...

Has anyone seen a 6'5 blond guy in his 30's acting really obnoxious? I've sen him in the HL pit with a large stack of pumpkins as well as at the $25 tables with like $200. I see him there almost every time I go. He never bothered me but It did seem like he was trying to distract other...

Last time I was there PC was going on about how the state takes 50% instead of the 8% in AC and how they all had mortgages and car payments to make. Not sure how they will keep the lights on. This was in regards to the crappy comp cards but I'm sure they feel the same way about the AP...

Thank you, this is very helpful.

But do you ever see (non-working) hotties without a$$hole boyfriends attached?

Casinos are a dangerous place for people with dopamine problems. I wonder how many APs are smokers. A wildly proportionate number of ploppies are smokers. You hear of many supposed AP's talking about playing craps, roulette or slots for fun or cover. I wonder how many of them are (or were)...

The goal was to find something different from Hi-Lo (for cover) that performed about the same and required counting the fewest possible cards. In my simulations it comes in only slightly worse than Hi-Lo, but as noted my simulations might be crap :) The "difficulty" of 2-level is offset by not...

I was a basic strategy player for many years but recently decided to learn counting. I started with the Wizard Ace/5 which I liked due to it's simplicity. You only have to count 2 kinds of cards and no running/true conversion the way he describes it. Of course the EV is lacking and it just...

How could we not be expected to have information on the count when they SHOW you the cards played as a normal part of the game? Varying bets and index playes are the best way to play the game under their own rules and they have to (mathematically) acknowledge that.

I think I saw a 2D table in the HL pit (only 2 decks spread out waiting for players). Everything in the HL pit seems to be $100 min. Penetration on the main floor was decent at about 1.5D. Pen in HL room (also 8D when I was there) was noticeably worse with at least 2D. Some but not all of...

Dear Penthouse....

So it's not just me! The first time I was there the dealer was cutting only one deck. The next time I was there I saw half the deck cut. On that second visit I also quickly got white hot heat for spreading 1-5 (didn't get a chance to go to my max) so between that and the half shoe I figured...
