    Counting at my favorite casino

    I'd take a look around at some of the other tables and check out what other people are winning. Maybe stay in the green, and not be sitting at a table of ploppys with a rack or two of black in front of you, playing two hands at a couple of grand each and splitting tens. Just use some common...

    First Timer -- Any Advice?

    Good practice at home...turn your t.v. on up real loud in one room, the radio in the other and maybe run a blender right next the kitchen table. The distractions and noise in a casino are many and a little hard to get used to at first. That being said, nothing beats real game experience in a...

    Counting at my favorite casino

    Stay low...camo as much as you can and by all means, don't get greedy. Be warned though, if you walk across the street and nail one of the other casinos to the wall there is a good chance that you favorite house is gonna see your picture in their surveillance room. They all share information...

    Heat? Time to back off?

    "I seriously don't understand what grounds they would have to fire my wife if I were to get caught. The entire concept of a casino is a business that advertises "We dare you to try and beat us at our own game." The employees at this casino are union." I've seen places use a term...

    First Backoff

    The only time that I've ever seen RFID chips read is at the table. That is by no means saying that they don't do it at the cages too. Typically the scanner only reads about a 3 to 5 inch diameter around your bet. So, if you got'em in your pockets your probably safe. Usually (and I mean...

    Help with betting!

    A good resource is Snyder's "Blackbelt in Blackjack". It's got a pretty good chapter in there on nothing but bankroll and bet spread. Also, he goes over in some of the standard count systems that have the spread and stuff built into them. It's a good book for beginners and for that matter...

    best ways to conceal chips from the table

    Since most places watch the black and above, try doing a check change: a couple of black for some green. Keep a little bit of green in front of you and rathole that instead of the black when the chance becomes available. Might need bigger pockets though...either way, pocketing is a sure way to...

    Graduating to Black

    I'd take ihate17's advice, don't rathole the black (if you get any) and I'd stay in the green. For whatever reason, they'll look a player with one black out and not the guy next to him playing 6 or 8 green. Whatever...
