Any Casino Personnel on here??

#1
Hi. New to the forum, 1st post.
New to CC. I've been reading up on CC and have been practicing, mastering BS, etc.

Is there, or has there ever been somone on here who is/was a dealer or PB or anyone from the "inside"? It would be interesting to see what they have to say regarding reading players, what they watch for, etc. Tho unless retired, I'd imagine they wouldnt be welcome here with open arms....

There are active casino personnel on the forum, yes. There are also plenty of casino personnel that skim the forums without a registered username.

Casino personell tend to remain anonymous. This is an open forum indexed by Google. Very easy for them to read or search on anything of interest here.

Ya, I figured they have had to have read on this site at one point. Anyone have any links to the boards where they have spoke or told any stories?

Do an advanced search on member Exgriffinman.

Most dealers are idiots and you are likely to learn very little from them. If you want to learn anything about blackjack buy some books, post some questions, make contacts in the blackjack community. Pit Bosses are only slightly more intelligent than dealers but much more conniving. You have nothing to gain by associating with these scumbags.

I got a book last week and read it all. Gonna go back and read thru it again. I been parusing the site the last couple weeks and learning some stuff.
I was looking for just stories I guess from the people from "the other side", not really tryin to get pointers. This site has been great for that. I read some "Exgriffin" stuff today, thats kinda what I was looking for I guess.
The one question I have been thinking about, (someone eluded to it throughout a thread I read today), was why/how could survailance/pit personnel not catch deviation from an AP. Im always thinking "casinos know CC are out there, why/how does deviation throw them off?" I'd assume they would hone those skills as well. Thankfully for this community they apparently dont according to the thread I read.
Im not even ready to be worrying about heat tho. Just somethin that popped in my head while readin around.

This might be a dumb question. One with no real straight answer im sure. But how long has it taken most of you to get good enough and confident enough to put your skills out into the real world? Im still in the very early practice stages.
This site has given me alot of good insight and preperation.
Thank you.

Wow, did one of these "scumbags" piss in your cereal? They do what we do to an extent, and that's make a living. Some take their job a little too seriously, but that's where the fun begins. The real scumbags, if that's the word, are the owners who become too greedy, not the little pit critters.

Just curious, what brought you here?
Is that at me??
Same thing that probly brought most people here. To learn mainly and use as a resource to my cc learning. Reading stories is also interesting to me.
