I am no casino employee. I am just a beginner trying to learn and I've put a lot of effort into doing so (have spent many lonely weekends sitting in my apartment by myself with decks of cards practicing). I really dont want to make all of my personal information public, but if it makes everybody...

Okay so I wont pursue this topic any further since all it has gotten is for me to be attacked. I am not a casino boss at all. I live somewhere where everything is controlled by legal cartels to keep supply low and prices high. There is a limit of one casino per city so they are all crap. So to...

Re: You need professional HELP! Well, Im certainly willing to keep my mouth shut anywhere that my comments arent wanted. But the Mayor did let my post past moderation. If he ever censors me or asks me to leave, I will do so gracefully. If nobody answers my post, I wont press the issue. Perhaps...

Lets take a *hypothetical* case. Lets say that somebody was living in a place where all of the casinos were really bad. (6D, D9, DAS, RSA, ENHC, Cheating Shuffling Machine), admission charge, no free drinks, and no comps. Obviously nobody who wasn't stupid would want to play in this casino! But...

Re: You're right, just keep going! You are correct so multiplying by the 21/309 ~ 1/15 a dealer should still see this at his/her table once every 30 weeks! Assuming that (s)he would be aware of it if it happened at an adjacent table that makes once every 10 weeks. Hardly something the delaer...

Re: Worthless dealer advice I already dont care what others at the table think about me. I play for low stakes so maybe thats why I think differently than all of the high-rollers here. Comps are a big part of my EV so if I get negative attention from the pit, it seems that it is costing me...

Just my $0.02. Although we all hate to have our civil rights violated, one sure way to avoid it is to avoid being pegged as an AP. Remember that a casino is a business. The decision makers arent always competent, but its their job to look at the bottom line. If we start winning lawsuits then...

Nice going! This makes me curious what you other guys and gals do in this situation? If a ploppy corrects me on some things (stand 16 v. 10), I usually claim to be chicken or something and say sorry. But Ive had dealers ignore my gesture and ask if I am sure about a particular play. If its a...

Here is a quick calculation (somebodz will correct me if I get it wrong, Im sure). Assuming six deck shoe, first deal (of course the chance changes as you deal into the deck) 1/13 chance of getting a 7 on the first card. After that chance is 5/311 of getting a second suited seven. After that a...

I agree that the casinos are evil and take people's money by selling them false hopes. But how are they different than other big corporations? How are they different than the "nutrition" companies who try to convince people that if they take some "dietary supplement" they'll have a body like...

Why this survey is garbage We all know that casinos sell deception. Its the only place in the world where you can go and the price isn't makred. IMHO the casino should be requiretd to post the houst advantaga and expected loss on each and every game. But we know that wont happen. I have seen...

Mayor, Why do you think that $400 is too low for a session BR? Obviously it is too low for a total bankroll, but if he's willing to risk all of it on one session (and replenish it from a real job), then isn't it mathematically the same? I usually play red chips and don't carry much more than...

Re: I know. One strategy that I have found highly effective for seeing the burn card is to ask.

Re: , Atlantic City - Just got back I posted this over at CCC cafe, but here's what I'll tell you. If you are playing quarters, the Borgota is the place to do it. All six deck games (no eights) and you will be a small player at $25. (There was one $15 table, the rest were $25 and $50). You...

Re: No BJ21 membership for me, everybody wins. If you look at my post above, I don't want to hand over my credit card information when it involes 'recurring billing.' Also after the response I got from the BJ21 people, I am not sure I want to enter a business relationship at all. According to...
