Can anyone offer advice on whether this seminar series is worth the cash outlay. It is being taught by the former president of one of the MIT teams, and delves into a number of techniques they used to beat the casinos. I have been card counting for about a year, and am trying to get on a team...

This weekend I am going to put learning to the test and experience some live table action. Does anyone know what casinos have $5 blackjack tables this weekend. I haven't been to AC before, and my friends tell me the lowest tables are $10 on the weekends. Thanks for your help. -NTTG
