Thank you Ken Smith This site greatly accelerated my learning curve from someone with a casual interest in gambling to full time player. I hope the PM features are still available as I want to keep in touch with a few members. Every time I spot an AP I always try to figure out what his bjinfo...

Your advantageous rule is adding about the equivalent of a TC of +1. If you have TC frequency charts you could probably estimate the value at each pen level to figure out a which point the games are equivalent. I don't have freq charts but adding a .57 seems about eqivalent to early surrender...

Don Johnson. He outed himself and his exploits were widely discussed on this site and others. The theory behind the how is debate but most suspect a loss rebate play. You must've been hanging out in the zen zone when this was happening.

That's how I interpreted it.

Correct.

This is a topic that merits more discussion. A 10k win by a $500 better draws attention, but if you travelled a long way to play a great game and quickly win should you quit just because you are up 10k? If the win is on a game other than BJ, say you hit a hand that pays 20:1 on your $500 bet...

This story may interest you in scratch lottery AP. http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2011/02/04/toronto_man_cracked_the_code_to_scratchlottery_tickets.html I think it is reasonable to believe this edge can still be had on some scratch games.

Either is fine. Bigger bet spreads, better pen, and avoiding being banned are more important than the counting system being used.

The cop won't get fired for that. Police associations (unions) have their own teams of lawyers that protect the brotherhood at all times. Administrative punishment with pay, no charges, and an out of court settlement. If a security guard tuned a drunk like that on camera he'd be fired and...

No charges laid. Pretty hard for Wynn to win this one I would think. I would have to see the tape. If they are clearly distracting/blocking the boxman or dealer there might be something, otherwise you accepted the roll, live by the outcome. The fact that one of the players got turned in to...

He's not.... But he still plays unrated.

Not true. Each suit will come up with their own reason why you wish to play unrated, that you are an AP is far from the most likely. Here are my top 10 most likely reasons a suit would come up with for why a big player would play unrated: 10. "It is probably drug money". 9. "If he bets that...

The wizard has the answer. http://wizardofodds.com/blackjack/appendix5.html Keep the green and take your bet back on the red. It's not exact (infinite deck) and counting isn't taken in to consideration but for all practical application this chart is excellent.

That post was 4 years old and quite inaccurate with respect to current conditions (many asm's and some csm's). My 4 year old posts in this thread are also complete BS with respect to the realities of theory vs practice and I wish I could delete them. Experience has proved to be the best...

For blackjack none of them good and all have some csm's and some shoe games.. Of the three I would play the Seneca one in NY, at least they comp booze. If you're going on vacation or bringing a spouse Fallsview is the nicest. They are close enough you can visit all three and decide for yourself
