David cannot kill Goliath but thinks he can. Now David is secretly afraid to let loose the rocks because he thinks if...

    Was "21" sponsored by Casinos?

    If it was ENHC and dealer BJ takes all bets, she might have a point. Or she could be talking about situations where TC is below +2. We the audience do not get to hear the beginning of the conversation. Didn't notice it when I was watching, but Sierra Summers does sound like a lot like a...

    macau shoe game changed to CSM!

    Probably. As far back as early 1990s even Stanford Wong was saying the niche for blackjack APs was declining. Much easier said then done. Even corporations with multi-billion dollar PR budgets have spectacular failures trying to influence the public. Whatever facebook/twitter petition...
