    Major Baccarat Scam...

    only the moderator can prevent... his message board from being hijacked. most boards specific to a subject have guidelines restricting the subject matter. perhaps instead of "card counter", the domain name might be changed to reflect the actual preponderance of the posts. that'd only be fair to...

    Major Baccarat Scam...

    sadly that page has become mostly worthless... for a student of gaming. the page now seems to have been spun to a podium for trotskyite rhetoric. better would be a third page devoted to non-bj gaming so that we readers do not have to wade through dozens of leftist, anti-u.s. posts to find the...

    Making a living playing blackjack

    that may be technically accurate. a "benefit" such as a free room, may have a taxable value. logic would suggest that if the donor, the licensee, declares that "comp" to be an "expense", then the recipient might need to declare it to be a taxable event. i'm not certain that the tax gatherers...

    Against my better judgement -- an endorsement

    'zactly.. a slight modificiation may well 86 whatever advantage. i'd suggest at least two more strips on pitch games and more plugs on shoe games. we're talking about only a second or twq per shuffle, not more. the other game protection alternative is for increased use of automatic shufflers...

    The Western N Las Vegas...........

    get a copy of cbjn for what & where. note that "strip" joints for the most part only offer 3:2 snapper pays on shoe games. "downtown" and "neighborhood" joints mostly still have 3:2 pays on pitch games. the grey/indistinct area is on the double deck games which are just starting to enjoy 6:5...

    The Western N Las Vegas...........

    the western hotel casino is in... the city of las vegas, not north las vegas. there are one or two worthy games in the city of north las vegas, and of course, several more in the city of las vegas. the largest number of casino licensees are in clark county which begins south of sahara.

    Against my better judgement -- an endorsement

    ace sequencing and steering... have been around the game protection seminars for at least 5 years that i've seen. when i saw the technique, 4 cards were "keyed". the number of boxes played varied as did the wagers. it appears to me that the sophistication of the shuffle is the prime determinate...

    Several new casino and BJ posts...

    this is refreshing news indeed. that page seems to have been reduced to google search results or leftist agenda, political rhetoric. i already have a few search engines on board. and if i wanted to enjoy anti-us/leftist propaganda, i'd find a way to receive am, "hate" [hate the truth] radio...

    Update on "The Blackjack Zone" -- they've left New Jersey

    "snow storm".... spent the last day and a half shoveling the 4' out of the long driveway. now the problem is that the county grader w/papa bear snow blower hasn't shown up since about 2 feet ago. must be the overtime/holiday pay issue. or could be those wimps are hunkering down in the equipment...

    Dealing with Tsunamis

    since the political correctness pestilence... has infected the united way, they lost me, leastwise for the remainder of this turn on the wheel. as to domestic charities i'm partial to the salvation army. that because i enjoyed most of 6 months using the red shield house in bombay as a home...

    2005 Blackjack Hall of Fame Nominees

    in deference to the request of the webhost... i only refer you to the earlier post which mentions mr rubin's statement on a cable tv, 21 "tournament" that "6:5 was the best thing that ever happened to blackjack". he is correct if his audience were the casino licensees. i suggest that the bulk...

    2005 Blackjack Hall of Fame Nominees

    my "particular brand of... moralization", that of simple integrity, applies when a casino shill deliberately steers viewers toward "house games". therein, he is absolutely no different than other such intellectually dishonest peddlers. he is on par with john patrick. and, i'm not certain that...

    Rookie's first trip

    unhinging the connection between... cash and casino checques is one of the two concurrent, player and casino objectives. as would the casino have it, the advantage player must ignore the real world, cash equivalency of casino checques. treat your pile as a score board. if you wager scared...

    2005 Blackjack Hall of Fame Nominees

    max rubin has something in common with... a former las vegas mayor, ms. jones. that rubin now compromises truth in favor of a comped room, indicates dishonesty. if rubin is honorable enough to earn some hall of fame accolade, then so must be eligible *both* authors of "knock-out blackjack"...
