I have played at the casino in question before and I also suspected they play with stacked decks. I also suspect other California casinos as well. Indian casinos are required to pay for their own gaming commission. So the gaming commission staff are all paid(employed) by the casino itself...

I have not read any posts in this thread other than the OP. I'm sure a lot of us go through things like this. Everyone doubts that you can win in a casino. Your significant other will be resentfull that you spend so much time "wasting money" instead of being with him/her. If you win, you...

JSTAT, next time you visit that agent in Sacramento, have him check the 6 deck games at San Manuel and Pala as well.

I don't hit 7,7 vs. 10 in single deck, but when the count is low, I always wonder if I should hit it. Anyone know the index using hilo?

I think I've seen CSMs in Laughlin, but never on a BJ game. The OP didn't say what game this was on did he?

Ideally, you wouldn't be playing at a table with three other players. One other player is good, two other players at most and even then you're hoping that one leaves soon. ZG has said that he wongs out when the true count hits -2. The problem with DD and taking a bathroom break is, by the...

I stopped by this casino once. I will probably stop by a few more times in the future. What I observed was a decent game, but only one pit open and all tables crowded.

I've been invited to a backroom before, but declined the invitation. So they gave me the backoff on the floor and had a security guard escort me out.

Funny you should say that. Last weekend I was checking out tables and there's a guy playing with about $300 in green and about $100 in red stacked up in front of him. He's betting $5 a hand. I had no idea what he had bought in for, but I recognized what he was doing without watching him play...

Usually, you only get one card on split aces. Therefore, no double down would be allowed after splitting. Maybe I didn't read the original post very well.

I sell books on amazon.com. You should check there for the true market value of your books. I don't think your ebay auction will have much success, but you never know.

Me - "What do you got there? Looks like about eight decks." Dealer - "Nope. Six decks. We don't have any eight deck games here." Nothing suspicious about that. I try to word my questions like a ploppy so as not to seem like an expert.

I don't know what the answer is for a break even game, but if I wanted to reduce heat and play a slightly better than break even game, then I would just take my normal bet size and reduce the spread. For example, instead of spreading 1-8 on a DD game, I would only spread 1-4.

Now run another sim. This time put all the money on one hand. Spread 1-105. Which will get more money?
