    Player’s Card

    Playing unrated at some stores definitely draws a huge red flag, others not so much. Every casino is different. I’ve always been amused by that.

    Player’s Card

    I don’t know for certain how got my full name, I’m making an assumption. That’s the only way I can think of that they would have gotten it. I’m very cautious per others advice about playing anonymous. But lately have been contemplating the comps I could get playing at the stakes I do.

    Player’s Card

    possibly scanned my plates in the parking garage... The time before I had booked a larger win after initially being down... went back months later and did not last 30 mins.

    Player’s Card

    I have been contemplating getting a players card. Or at least playing with someone else’s card. I play green/black. I do not currently play rated however my last back off when I got the tap PB called me by my real name, I felt so deflated.

    A tale of variance.

    One time this old lady who spoke zero English followed me around and sat down at every table I did. To top it off there was plethora of open tables as it was completely dead in the casino. I gave up trying to lose her after four or five table hops. We start playing and mid way thru the show gets...

    The cost of living in Las Vegas as a tourist

    Try Airbnb. I've used it a dozen times with nothing but success. You can easily find a room for less than $40 a day. Last trip to Vegas I paid $23 a day for a condo.

    Playing Rated

    I am curious for those who play rated how do you avoid heat? If you're going to play BJ rated would it be beneficial to mix it up and play on a CSM table for like $40-100 once in awhile for cover purposes in a casino that offers both (shoe and CSM)...? Instead of cover plays why not a cover buy...

    Why Blackjack players are actually athletes

    No. BJ is a sport but it does not require ANY physical skills. So AP's, gamblers, etc are not athletes. They call it an athletic body for a reason. I'm sure some of us who play are fit, but as your question asks no, it doesn't make them athletes. I mean at best BJ is nothing more than a athletic...

    Does other players' affect you?

    Interesting. Link? It was a full table. But there were other tables open in another pit both with no one else on them. He seemed like a well known regular at this store (had elite member card), he was flat betting $25 per hand at one spot. The very next round after I opted out and took his...

    Does other players' affect you?

    You want to see EXTREMELY bad players sit down at any SP21 table. Just last night I was using some negative index plays..... My play was really annoying this guy (buys in for $6k at a $10 min!!!!). He proceeds to ask me to leave the table multiple times. After 20 mins I jokingly tell him I will...

    Cage mistake and what would you do?

    This happened to me at an Indian casino, they overpaid me $100. The cashier is held accountable. Once the casino realizes who the overpaid player was (reviewing tape), that player will be banned until he/she pays the money back. Security will confront you next time you visit so be prepared to...
