Card Counting, The REAL Truth is... -VIDEO

...that "it doesn't work!" Just ask "professional" player Oliver Galang. zg

Wow i didn't know i was paying the dealer 3:2 when he hits blackjack. Cause he can get blackjack too!!

But it doesn't matter, the payoff odds, if the dealer gets the good cards!!
Just ask Oliver! zg

Sounds to me like he was over betting his BR& budted.

He's come up with a reverse betting progression, now... so maybe he'll be okay! zg

at least the guy doing the interview sounded like he knew what he was talking about.

This guy couldn't beat Barona's 0% house edge game? You can beat that playing basic strategy and scamming the interest free loans.

What a moron! Ok who's going to take one for the team and do a review of this book? ZG?

What an idiot!!! This guy obviously deviated from sound card counting principles and played by hunch and progression. I suppose he has never heard of double down, splitting, insurance, surrender and getting paid 3:2 on BJ. He has no game and got wiped out. So now the loser writes a book and get his money back.

Or better yet, maybe he doesn't even know how to count. He's just trying to cash in on the movie "21" excitement by writing a book on the "fallacy" of card counting instead of just another book on how to beat the tables.

He's either very shrewd or a complete idiot. I lean towards the latter.

Yeah, do it ZG. The book is only 20 pages long. :laugh:

-Sonny-

Maybe his next book will be titled "the Kelley "... oops .. I mean "The Galang betting system"

he's even got his own website complete with strip joint reviews!

If you're going to play an EV negative game, you might as well do it in style.

That does it!

I mean it now, no more delays for me buddy boys I'm starting tomorrow writing my book. This guy has provent to me that you can do something and write a book that you THINK you know something about. I was going to write a book one day but, times awasting because research will just get in the way of the real facts. I will also not ask anyone for help or guidance on the subject matter because opinions are better than facts. blackchipjim

I did an advantage-play on strip clubs, years ago. My friend was a travel agent and we took a bunch of unvalidated airline stock into the club and were writing first-class tickets - Paris - London - Tokyo, the girls went nuts! Tickets were not validated and later my friend reported them lost.

When I was in the halfway house, my roommate was a counterfeitor - he would make 100$ bills on bleached 5$ bills - told me how to do it - he'd start on Friday night and by Sunday night he'd have 200 phoney 100$ bills. First stop, he says, "the strip club!" zg

Question

Is there a god?

Answer

No. I believe god is something we all created because we couldn't
explain a lot of things here on earth. So, we created gods, just like the
Indians made up gods and how the Romans made up their gods like Zeus. We
are no different. I'm sure you can argue that there's a higher entity and that
they all have different names, but they're still the same being. But, argue
what? By that time, you'll most likely be dead. In fact, the whole world might
be gone before we even get an answer! However, if there is a god (sorry
about this article) or isn't a god, I believe we should all be good here on
earth. By the way, read my blog about "My Theory on Religion."

Question

What is life?

Answer

I don't know. I believe our life is like a cycle, just like the dinosaurs. I
mean there's really no purpose. We're just gonna go through some phase
and be killed by a nuclear bomb, perhaps. Then, the only survivors would be
the cockroaches. Later, they'll be teaching they're little baby cockroaches
how the human race didn't survive. However, if you want to make the most
of your life, I would suggest you try your best to be good. Don't pick on some
poor school kid, so he can start shooting everybody. Yeah, you're best bet is
to be kind to everyone and hope for an afterlife where maybe there's a
heaven. Then, all the money and women wouldn't matter.

have you seen that almost all the good reviews from the amazon site of his book are from san diego("coincidence or not" -"friends or family"-) and all of them are not helpful to people!:yikes:
and the review that says the book is a scam is the one helping people!:whip::whip::whip::devil::devil::flame:

I thought Zeus was the Greek God? Didn't the Romans pay homage to Jove? I think he should read more (and gamble less).

As an afterthought, I think there's also some rotten fruit due for the researchers at the TV station that arranged the interview. Two minutes of their time would have thrown up the fact that he was away with the fairies, and all they'd be doing is providing him with an opportunity to promote his book (er . . . read pamphlet). Perhaps it was a (very) slow news day?

Grateful

I don't know about you but I'm glad the guy finally exposed this scam that is perputrated on unsuspecting players. The casinos would do well to listen to this guy and rest easy at night knowing that their profits are safe. I wish more people would listen to this guy and give up trying to beat the casinos at bj. bwaaaagh :devil: blackhchipjim

reverse psychology???

Maybe the guy is smarter than the gents on this board give him credit for???
He will probably make a nice sum of cash from the idiots who buy that book. He could be very smart no? Hellmuth, Brunson, and Caro gave away their secrets and still come out on top... not that I put this guy in that category but maybe he knew he was on to something and is not as dumb as he sounds. He looks like a tard to you and I but what about the less mathematically fortunate? Maybe that book won't put money in his pocket - what do I know? Just a rambling thought. Sigh.
