In late August I played a $5 dollar table at about midnight on a Sunday, I couldnt believe it!! I got backed off a year ago, spent my bankroll and havent been back since (except for the vist mentioned about). Are the crowds down becuse of the economy and gas prices, it sure seemed it.

also, from what I've seen one thing the players seem to know, is a good game, dont ask me how they know because their playing skills wouldnt indicate that they should know....but in general they do

Have you been in Foxwoods recently, nobody knows basic Strategy there either and I think the same is true of almost any casino

When Mohegun Sun opened in the 90's Foxwoods was already well established nearby and at the time was probably the largest Casino in the world. Mohegun offered convention surrender in their Blackjack game, which Foxwoods did not. Foxwoods subsequently changed their rules in fear they would...

if you offer a better game than them, less decks, more favorable rules, word will spread, they will come. What does your competion offer for blackjack? Do you know?

give your coustomers a good blackjack game with good rules, keep an eye out for counters who bet huge, but dont harass the small fye, dont be paranoid....in the long run the skilled players will not cause your operation to fail, how well or poorley you treat your customers will. There are more...

If a player is looking to you for help make sure you know basic strategy and say, the book says to do this. Otherwise do not comment on how people play. Most of all cut the shoe as close to the back as you can get away with

I use a 1/2 decks as a unit for converting the running to true, so in an 8 deck game the divisor is 16 at the beginning of the shoe, and with the right dealer on a rare occasion 2 or less at the end. There was on time I was dividing by .5!! My running count was 7, my true was 14 and I was using...

Sunday night's you can get 15's no problem, but they can get crowded and sometimes the play can be slow. Believe it or not, you sometimes can get them on Friday's. There is a specific dealer you should look for, he cuts about HALF A DECK!! If you send me a PM I can give you the name and...

Because its fun, sure counting can be a grind, but it beats painting houses or putting up fences for extra cash and of course you always have the chance of having a really good night

the bastards take 15 to 20 cents on the dollar in slots, then they cry about AP's beating them out of 1.5 pct. Use your contempt of the Casino management to keep you away from those games....As Darth Vader once said....Luke, use your anger!!!

Thanks!!

Get an xbox 360, its way more fun than slots

try mid week, you can get 15's all day and in the wee hours 10's also some lazy dealers cut less than a deck!!

Im currently using Uston simple +/- system, 2,8,9 are valued a 0, 10-A at -1 and 3-7 at +1, I convert my running to true to the nearest half deck (I practiced this alot and have a very good eye for the discount rack) and deviate from basic according to full use of the numbers matrix (I spent a...
