Amazed!!!

Theres a guy thats been playing at my casino for the past couple months and he always seems to win. He can't be counting because he always bets the table max. Last time he won $5000 and I was talking to him about how he always wins and he started telling me how he does it. He told me to shuffle a deck and split it into three piles and when I did that he named each card on top of each as I flipped it over. I had him do it again with my casino manager and he got 2 out of 3 cards right. Why he was showing me I don't know, I guess he just drank too much. He asked if I was gonna kick him out and I said no and I was asking more about blackjack and he said you just know whats coming out of the deck when its about to come out. He quoted Kenny and said "You gotta know when to hold em, and know when to fold em." He had busted only twice in his two hours of play. He told me he is banned from all the high end casinos because he wins too much and told me that our casino was lucky we didnt have $1000 tables.

A couple possibilities

1. He is a lucky SOB
2. He is playing with a legal advantage by shuffle tracking, ace sequencing, hole carding, etc.
3. He has marked the cards in your casino, or is using some other illegal method to gain an advantage.

Assuming that he has played (and won)consistently over a long period of time, the odds of #1 are low. I am (pleasantly) surprised that you have not banned him. Most casino's will ban anyone who plays with a perceived advantage, even if they have no idea what the player is doing.

Wrong...

This poster is not a troll, I know him personally and know the casino he works for. But he doesn't know that I know him. But then again, he knows me too!

Impossible

We had the cards checked for every known method of marking. Multiple people took a look at them and found nothing out of the ordinary. Next time I see him I will have him do it with a brand new deck. He mentioned to me that he is a multi-millionaire and its all from playing cards...perhaps he really is gifted and predicts the cards! I didn't kick him out because I don't care when people win. We get enough suckers that won't leave until they reach their ATM withdrawal limit.

Mayor...

There is a guy that comes in that looks like you. Ive even taken your surveilence photos and compared them, but I came to the conclusion that it wasn't you. Haha.

strikes me

as voodoo.

Computer Scientists often refer to the principle of "Occam's Razor". The idea is that the simplest explanation is usually the right one. In this case, the simplest explanation is _not_ that he can somehow use "the force" to predict cards. :)

the streak will end *LINK*

Many okay players get on winning streaks and
thats all they are and then they give it all back
and more.
Yeah some rookies do have a slight feel for the cards.
I know of a guy that kept on winning the royal match
side bet and has no idea whats going on, this continued for
months and he still wins,but how long will it last.

Lots of beer

He always gets wasted when he plays. Seriously, he looks like he is homeless and hasnt bathed in years, but he always has wads of hundred dollar bills.

No glasses

Other customers told me that they have seen him at other casinos, which I won't name and he wins a lot there too. One lady who is a regular told me she watched him play at a downtown casino and he won $50,000.
