Hello.....first post here even though I have been long time counter and lurker on this and other BJ forums. I recently came across some information that I found quite interesting and want to share this with members of the AP community. If this information is old news to the veterans of this forum or has already been written about, I apologize in advance.
The World Game Protection Expo for 2018 is scheduled for March 14-15 in Las Vegas and is held at Bally's Casino. (I'm sure attendees will be from all levels of employment in the gaming system). Various speakers will be presenting one hour sessions on an array of topics from casino security, cheating, math behind the games, etc. (got your attention yet??)..... two of these events got my attention.
First, Mike Apointe from the MIT card counting team will be speaking. A brief description indicates he will be speaking about card counting history, his thoughts on the card counting in today's environment followed by a 20 minute Q&A session. The second event is something titled the Blackjack Challenge and is only open to conference attendees. This event has participants count down a deck of cards using the hi-lo system. Prior to starting, three cards are removed and the participants have to give the correct running count when done. The six fastest times move into the finals where the winner here "takes all" and receives $5,000....not bad for less than one minute of work.
If interested, the site for this event is worldgame protection.com, click on the program link for more info.
