I have a friend who has been counting cards on weekends for years, down in AC and also up at Seneca Niagara. This friend has made some nice pocket money.
Inspired by my friend, I studied, practiced and then hit my local casino in PA. I have been playing a few hours once a weekend, Fri nights or Saturday afternoons, for the past month. I am proceeding cautiously in this pursuit .. don't want to blow a large sum ... and am up overall by a few hundred dollars.
I have a few questions. Does the pit boss take notes on players? I see some of them at the computer, typing. I use a player's club card. It was weird that when I was buying more chips one evening, and went to give them my card, the different pitboss said he already knew who I was. I asked him how and he said that my description is in their computer.
Also, last time I played, they went from placing the cut card only 2 decks from the end (of an 8-deck shoe) to cutting it about three decks from the end. Does this mean that they suspected a card counter?
The casino that I play at seems frequented by people who have no idea of even basic strategy, let alone card counting. I have been counting, but since I am new, female and only spreading my bets by a small factor, I didn't think they would suspect me.
