    IIRC correctly, studies showed that card clumping disappears even when cards are not shuffled. How do I message you, Larry?

    Don't quit your job until you have saved a decent BR. Just save session bankrolls and lose them until you hit a runaway positive streak. Poker players are more aggressive than blackjack nits. Some high-level poker pros lived on ketchup and mustard sandwiches during losing streaks. This is...

    Going Pro with 100k

    You don't need to keep working if your playing EV is higher than your working wage. You just need to be willing to go back to work. Many pro gamblers took longshots when they were young, until one finally hit.

    Hi KewlJ! There is little point in playing to make less than your day job. DD' kept his job, saved up a session bankroll, and lost it every month. This continued for 5-10 months until he had a monster session and never lost it back. He played part-time until he had adequate bankroll, and...

    Giving it a rest

    You don't understand. To cut your RoR, you should cut your max bet in half. But to maintain a winning spread, you must also cut your minimum bet. For example, suppose you were spreading $25-$250, a 1-10 spread. Instead you might spread $10-$125, a 1-12.5 spread. You might also consider a...

    Giving it a rest

    Aslan Quitting I respect Aslan for gutting it out during 4 figure swings. But a real advantage player would never quit. I suggest he just cut bets in half to tolerate the swings better. Apparently he prefers to play a small losing game to a big winning game. Yuk. I also suggest betting...

    St. Kitts Promotion

    St. Kitts Free Hotel Room Promotion They have continued this promotion this year, adding a fifth night free if you book by May 31st. I just checked on the internet, and flights are more expensive, so they are essentially giving you the hotel room free!

    What are the effects of a backoff on an MGM/Mirage Players' Club Account?

    Obviously. Of course they can still kick you out again, but a Metro officer would be pretty stupid to waste his time arresting somebody with an invitation in his pocket.

    Where/Who the hell is Bryce Carlson?

    That doesn't seem right. Suppose we use a 3-card deck {A,T,2}. The probability of getting a blackjack is 1/3. Now suppose we use two decks {A,A,T,T,2,2}. After dealing out three cards with a neutral count we could have {A,A,2}, or {T,T,2} in addition to {A,T,2}. Then the probability of a...

    Bear "exaggerated" his Reno Trip Reports

    Good call, Ken. FWIW, LVBear and Chappy have long, consistent internet histories, as well as personal contacts to support positive, honest reputations. I have never seen anything suspicious in their posts. LVBear was well within his rights to omit sensitive information. As for Chappy's...

    zg banned again?

    I basically stopped posting after Sonny deleted a thread and iCountNTrack locked my thread, saying: Analyzing and speculating about other board members is totally against the forums posting guidelines. Contrary to Mr. T's reaction, my posts didn't attack anybody, but merely quoted other...

    advice to all u db's from a seasoned dealer

    If you were any good at counting, why would you be dealing? Actually, are you currently employed as a dealer? Do you own a home that is not in foreclosure? This attitude of entitlement show why most dealers do not deserve tips. Bartenders and waitresses provide service. They actually...

    advice to all u db's from a seasoned dealer

    You call your customers douchebags and idiots and then expect them to tip better? It sounds like a bitter, surly, fired dealer losing his house to foreclosure.

    Nasty nasty nasty holecarders

    I heard about a counter who was barred by floor manager, and then saw this floor manager counting on vacation. After a few anonymous phone calls the floor manager was barred and thrown out of his room. Karma.
