    Question about the burn card..

    If I were a dealer I would show the burned card. If I were a dealer I would show the burned card every time. ( I will never be a dealer ). Why not show the burned card? The chances of a card counter being at the table is about .175% or about one chance in 570 so why not show the burned card if...

Most casinos in Vegas has one or more card mechanic on call to knock out system players i.e. card counters, and beyond. These are the hand held, one and two deck games. My brother worked...

That math is based on no edge on the house, but you are a card counter and have an edge. Max loss should be somewhat less...

    Is signing up for player's cards a no-no?

    Player's card???? Like you I want to "remain as anonymous as possible". I took my first and only player's card last month because they were offering a free $5 bucks. I found out later a $10.00 buffet was free. In the mail two weeks later I got another $5 bucks and a $10.00 buffet free. So...

    How do you take advantge of great Pen?

    I a 6-deck shoe if you get out if the TC hits -1% then you will be walking more than you are playing. I get out at -4% iff the next hand goes more minus (tens clump). If even or slightly plus next hand then I walk.
