Shad - it sounds to me like one of your so-called "friends" ratted you out, and identified you to them as a card counter (not that it makes any difference). But because those idiots have no CLUE about card counters, and have heard that a card counter "ALWAYS WINS"; they freaked out. Remember; the casino industry has been very successful in convincing the general public that card counting is CHEATING.
If you can figure out which one of your (ex) friends it was, I would say he's in for a pretty good ass whipping!
BTW - if it were MY mother; she would be down at the fire house the very next morning, and she would be the chief's worst nightmare for some time to come! A mother simply DOES NOT LIKE IT when someone falsely accuses her child of wrongdoing! :whip:
