    This "counting" stuff is hard, part 2:

    That's a depressing thought, cause it also means that if you are down you are not "due" an positive situation. Oh well, that's the way the cookie crumbles I guess.

    My concentration is fine, and so is my girlfriends who is coming with....we'll be gambling at the Ameristar if the above is the case.

    True Count Conversions and Card Thickness

    I'm glad my old post is revived, but.... That was a while ago when I asked for that advice. I hope it helps someone as it helped me. I got an A$$load of used casino cards for super cheap online (they were quite a bit thinner than my grocery store cards--although, maybe not significantly for...

    I beat a CSM

    I think he at least beat the casino by getting them to allow them to play a shoe game instead of a CSM. Sounds like he took an disadvantageous situation and made it an advantageous one. Way to go preston.

    Bossier City Casinos

    Sd? The Horseshoe does have a DD game on weekends I believe (maybe on banging weekday nights), but I've never seen single deck. I could be wrong though as I don't play pitch games yet (still too hard to count). Still interested to here anyone's opinions/experiences at the shreveport/bossier...

    Taxes?

    what did they say What did they say when you had your gf try to cash out some? That's interesting, were they rude about it? Probably not, just wondering how the casino handles it. As I've never had to deal with that (BR waaay to low to worry about leaving the table with 10k).

    Taxes?

    Ctr right, CTR. While their use may be for "money laundering checks," the IRS still gets a copy and still knows it's you that made the transaction. So, I'm sure it would get back to your taxes in one way or another. I could be wrong, but just my thoughts. as for anything under that...

    Taxes?

    10000 I was under the impression from various writings (although I am by no means sure) that anytime you cash-out for 10,000 or more dollars you need to fill out a tax form. This would include large one sitting slot winnings or any time you hit any progressive that pays out more than 10,000...
