TC -5, and -10? You are funning me right? What happened to Mr White Rabbit Don Schlesiger? :) But I do get your point.

It is funny, when I had this experience that I describe and became friends with the pit guy, he told me "I just can't allow you to play and have those kind of results anymore". I was completely ok with that and our arrangement, but I did try to tell him that what happened that day really had...

I'll tell you the perfect story of what I am talking about. It happened back in 2011, and I believe I told it on this forum back when it was different ownership. I call it the "perfect shoe". I will try to keep it short but probably will fail. It was the old Monte Carlo Casino on the strip...

Yes, I suppose that is true....either way, you are done for THAT day. But speaking from my own experience, and I have been playing Vegas for a living for 17 years now, I just feel like Las Vegas, using the model where they can back off and even ban/trespass players are actually a little more...

Ok, in Vegas this year, I haven't had any of the usual polite backoffs that I get here, but I have had 3 what I call heat incidents. Two of them my picture was sent around electronically to sister properties in the same chain. The workaround, just don't play the casinos involved for a few...

Youtube video like this are not to be taken seriously. Re-read LVBears comments above. these videos are not serious card counters trying to make money from casinos, they are about clicks and dollars from YouTube. I have been playing this game for over 20 years now for a living, since just...

As somebody that played both the NJ/Missouri model for 5 years and the Nevada model of the cat and mouse game for 17 years now,, the Nevada model is night and day superior for a card counter. You just learn to play that cat & mouse game, what is and isn't tolerated at different casinos and you...

I chuckled when I read this because I have had backoffs with this exact wording probably half dozen times (all Las Vegas). It is beyond the usual "polite" Vegas backoff, because they are almost telling you....come back another day. I wouldn't recommend the next day, but you wait a few weeks...

I remember that as well. What is the point?

No. It is an electronic blackjack game.

Can anyone tell me what the advantage gained from this very odd rule (I have never seen before) where you can hit again after doubling down? The example would be dealer has a 7, player has 10, player doubles down and receives a 3 and then is allowed to hit again.

Now regarding 20 or 23 losses in a row. I always take these discussions with a grain of salt. Does anyone really start counting losing hands from the first loss? No. So I think selective memory comes into play. You lose a number of hands, maybe 8 or 9 hands and you say something to yourself...

No they don't . But guess what, they didn't need to go to dealer h17 either. Or 6:5 BJ after that. They already had an advantage and didn't need to. But that didn't stop them. At video poker casinos didn't need to cut down from 9/6 to 8/6 to 8/5 and even lower. At Roulette they didn't need...

I agree with most of Johndoe's suggestions but want to offer a different take on the players card as well as add a few ideas. In this situation, playing unrated or rated probably makes no difference. If you are a regular and play unrated, they will usually assign some sort of identifying...

Hi Don. Belated happy New Year. So what if you are playing BS based on index plays? In other words card counters basic strategy?
