Incident
Now Flash... hang on a sec here. Can a non-AP "ploppy" as they are called get heat? HECK YEAH!!!! Hahahaha... You and I were together to witness this first hand! We were at a table, the count was horrid... Some guy walked up out of nowhere and starting plunking down fat bets (in this horrible count) and got WAY lucky. As I recall the pit manager was right on top of this and ANOTHER pit type started looking over the backs of the cards in the discard rack to "see what he could see" and they counted out the tray and did all they could to stop slow delay the game. I am guessing they did this so the tape could be backed up so the "eye" could count down the shoe to see if anything didn't "tickle their fancy".
It was nothing and the guy was just lucky was all. That was that table that I was so stunned that the count NEVER went anywhere positive for so many shoes in a row that I was wondering if they took half the darn face cards out of, the table we bailed off of to seek greener pastures. That guy scored a few miraculously good hands right out of the starting gate and kept going, no AP, no nothing... just darn lucky and they were panicking over it.
They ultimately figured out that the guy was just plain ol' lucky undoubtedly and I bet he scored lots of comp and incentives so they could snatch it all back from him.
