I'm confused I am not sure what role you play at the casino, but presumably you have the power to bar someone who is playing with an advantage, and it sounds like this might also be one of your job responsibilities (just guessing here). If you honestly think that he is not just lucky, then he...

I think that would be impossible It is very difficult to write a completely unambiguous question, especially when you are targeting a notoriously nit picky group, such as advantage players, where people love to argue over things that really make no difference in the big picture. My post was...

A couple possibilities 1. He is a lucky SOB 2. He is playing with a legal advantage by shuffle tracking, ace sequencing, hole carding, etc. 3. He has marked the cards in your casino, or is using some other illegal method to gain an advantage. Assuming that he has played (and won)consistently...

I have a few problems with the test Overall, I think it is a good test, but I personally question a few of the answers: - Is BJ21 really the most popular BJ site on the internet? There must be BJ sites frequented by non-counters that are more popular. Plus, the term "BJ site" could be...

Thanks Phantom I appreciate the notice of my absence, but I think you have me confused a bit. I have not been playing much due to work and family responsibilities. I have cut back posting unless I really have something of value to add (which is not very often). However, I have never even...

RFID Chips I think you are referring to RFID chips, where the chip is giving off a signal that is picked up by an antenna in the casino. In this case, it would be nice to either fry out the microprocessor in certain chips or alter the microprocessor so that it gave off the signal of a different...

He should have at least gotten his tip back I think he tipped the dealer a couple hundred based on the erroneous $10K payout. If it was me, I would have demanded that the dealer return my tip since it was based on an incorrect win. Of course, I would have probably stiffed the dealer in the...

If it is a big mistake, leave immediately Not really the case in your example, but a number of times, I have seen mistakes corrected much later. A friend of mine was playing at a new carney game that was prone to dealer mistakes and the floor asked for him to give back money 3 times in an hour...

I'll second this comment: "And any big bets spread will get the boot." I would only add that ANY bet jump which happens to correlate to the count will get you booted. A single jump will get you booted immediately. They don't make any attempt to verify that you are an AP. They seem happy...

The difference between a $3 - $700 spread and wonging out of all negatives is not very significant. This is either a profitable game regardless, or it is not. In order to determine whether or not the game is profitable, you need to supply the rules and penetration. Initial House Edge is useful...

Just buy a gun Its easier to just commit armed robbery. Both are illegal, but the armed robbery is alot easier.

Re: Boomtown in Reno Damn. I just checked Trackjack and apparently you are correct. When did Baldini's go to H17? As far as I know, Boomtown has always been H17. I can personally confirm this as of early June. Also, TJ still lists them as H17.

Just a short-term loan The Gods have treated me well so far. The thing that has been amazing has been the extent of the swings. I play to a fairly small ROR of 0.5% to 1% depending on the game. Even with this low ROR, I have won or lost 10% of my BR in an hour. Other times, I will go months...

Re: Don't worry you'll lose... Unfortunately, this guy is right. You will lose big, at least if you are like me. You will lose bigger than you ever thought possible. You will play a great DOA 75% pen single deck game for 3 hours spreading 1-6 units with no cover and lose 52 units. Then, you...
