To the girl I met counting cards downtown

[Martin Gayle]

So she probably won't be back to LV until next spring break and she's a nickel player that has a trip to pay for. I would have advised she hit it harder then go to the next joint when/if she's backed off. She's not going to run out of places to play in a week and no one will remember a banned nickel player a year from now.

BW, I agree, but she needs to stop yelling out "Wonging In" in a casino. It is like yelling out "Bomb" at an airport or "Crack" in the DC mayor's office.

Exactly. It wasn't just the large spread that annoyed me, that wouldn't have bugged me by itself, I understand some people are playing to get as much as they can in a very short time.

But combine that with the fact that she was being obvious about what she was doing, in other ways like that, and that makes for an irritating situation. Words like "wonging" and "penetration" should never be used at a blackjack table.

A spread beyond the scope of tolerance for a store is one thing, but completely begging to be backed off, that's something else.

This girl has a lot to learn, but we all started off as inexperienced counters. I had a similar experience once, but mine was with a counter spreading 0 to 2x50 on a single deck table. This wasn't no female though. Looked like the guy on the cover of Barfarkel's first book.

It does suck when another counter comes in on your game and eats up all the cards by spreading to two hands in positive counts.

You have to understand not everyone is as knowledgeable as some on this site some people out there just dont know. Yes the things she did were unbelievably stupid but hey maybe thats the way she learned or whatever. So lets ease up on the little lady at least shes out there trying and learnign as she goes. You should have pulled her aside and asked her to get a drink and helped her out. Who knows you could have found yourself a nice little spotter to stand around and backcount, maybe pull you into some favorable situations. Gotta pimp those counting hoes...:cool2: ya know
