Should Dealers Toke Counters?

Mayor, your comments are dead on. Without the kind of ongoing publicity the press has given Thorp, Uston, Hyland, the MIT team and others, I doubt that many of us would be here today. When giving coverage to counters, the story the press sells is: "David Slays Goliath". The public pays little attention to the details necessary to get the job done- they hear "Blackjack can be beaten!" and they race off to the tables. Only a tiny fraction of these novices will eventually go on to become advantage players. Casino profits generated from the publicity of counters, are far, far greater than the dollars extracted from counters themselves.

well as usual most of your post is B.S....
dealers arent sent home for lack of business.they are afforded the
opportunity to leave if they want to.

shill,thats a hoot.ploppies will come no matter if you are there or not.

bodyguard,plllease....

therapist.now thats funny!most counters i deal to are so lost trying to
figure -1 or +1 they would not even know their own name!let alone carry on a
conversation any dealer would care about.

advertising,yep hey i just won 8 in a row pressing each time and never toked
a cent but still expect the dealer to keep up the %75 pen,hahaha you wish!

diplomat,or did you say dip stick. the last thing a floor person is going
to consider is what another player is going to say about anothers' hand.and
the only write up we dealers might have to worry about is,whether or not we
recognized the fact you are counting and taken the proper steps according to
each houses' policies.oh and for the toking counters,that recognition seems to
take considerably longer for them.

Goodwill Ambassador.now thats really crap because counters squeal the loudest when your average joe takes the bust card.half the time you do what you can to chase away players.

so even though you spent days on your post i think if you read you can see
you are still full of i t !
