During the day a lady and I were passing the time at a low stakes $5-$500 table. Some guy walks in who looks like a street person (disguise?) and starts playing, fumbling chips, etc. Then he started betting 2 hands at $500 each. After about a half an hour he was up about $10K. This had the casino personnel buzzing around like bees. The manager came over and said "Hello Mr. xxxx. We didn't know you were coming. We're preparing a suite for you..."
The lady was getting very nervous with her low bets and went to leave. I told her his $500 bets might mean less to him than her $5 and just play normally. She was a good BS player.
The casino did everything they could, but this guy kept winning. They switched dealers. They started shuffling up every hand. We were all winning no matter what they did. The big money player quit after about an hour when he was up about $20K!
Do you think this was a streak or a fix?
Again during the day a dealer at a similar table who knew all of the players showed his trickery. It was a 6 deck shoe game like the other one was too. Every player at the table needed a hit. He called the cards before turning them over and gave every player 21 and he busted... not once, but a couple of times. I looked for the trick he was using, but couldn't spot it. I suspect he had a part of the decks memorized, was performing a partial shuffle, plus was not taking the top card from the shoe?
The casinos hate cheaters. Does that mean they hate themselves? :laugh:
