I rarely tell people that I\u2019m a professional gambler or an advantage player. It\u2019s easier to say that I travel for work and move the subject elsewhere. It\u2019s a difficult subject to broach &#8211; most don\u2019t understand what such a career entails, while others hold a wildly inaccurate perception about what it is that I do or how I do it. One assumption is that I\u2019m a degenerate living dollar to dollar or that even if I\u2019m making a living, gambling is immoral. Those types are rarely worth educating.\u00a0 Some are intrigued and think I live a life of adventure and luxury &#8211; and while it\u2019s sometimes the former, it\u2019s rarely the latter. If I\u2019m on the road, I\u2019m likely in a Red Roof Inn off the highway. I\u2019ve likely left the door ajar to usher out the smell of stale smoke, and I\u2019m probably concerned about how the yellow stain on the worn checkered armchair came to be.\u00a0 Rarely will you find me in a comped casino suite. I prefer anonymity to luxury.<\/p>\n<p>Pour r\u00e9sumer mon activit\u00e9, je trouve des moyens de soutirer de l'argent aux casinos.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Each casino is a goldmine &#8211; finding a way to mine it and keep the gold is the challenge.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>La m\u00e9thode la plus courante consiste \u00e0 jouer au blackjack et \u00e0 compter les cartes. D'autres fois, j'utilise des tactiques plus avanc\u00e9es ou je profite des opportunit\u00e9s offertes par un casino par le biais de jeux gratuits ou de cadeaux appel\u00e9s \"comps\". Si vous analysez un casino en profondeur, vous trouverez toujours une m\u00e9thode d'extraction. Gardez les yeux ouverts et vous trouverez votre avantage.<\/p>\n<p>Je suis rentr\u00e9 r\u00e9cemment d'un voyage dans le Midwest. Plus vous voyagez vers l'ouest, plus la route semble ouverte, et si vous continuez suffisamment longtemps, vous vous retrouvez dans un d\u00e9sert sans loi.  J'adore cela. Les villes exigu\u00ebs sont remplac\u00e9es par de vastes \u00e9tendues et des routes de montagne (Conseil de voyage n\u00b0 1 : prenez toujours la route panoramique. Votre objectif sera toujours l\u00e0, et le voyage est tout aussi gratifiant que la destination). Ce voyage m'a fait parcourir 4 000 miles, traversant 15 \u00c9tats en 14 jours.<\/p>\n<p>My first destination was Missouri. There are a good number of casinos in the area, and I knew a couple of advantage players who were in town. I met up with one, whom we\u2019ll call John (names and locations may be altered in my articles &#8211; as you recall, we value anonymity). He\u2019s a great card-counter and family-man based out of the mid-west. We both started counting cards at roughly the same time and were able to progress to full-time play due to the positive variance we encountered early on. \u00a0We talked, shared information, and I decided to stick around town for a few days.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/files\/inner-image-02-2-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"city\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-3923\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blackjackinfo.com\/files\/inner-image-02-2-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.blackjackinfo.com\/files\/inner-image-02-2.jpg 535w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-no-auto-translation=\"\" \/><br \/>\nLa premi\u00e8re chose que je fais dans un nouvel endroit, avant de d\u00e9velopper une strat\u00e9gie, c'est d'explorer la r\u00e9gion et de voir ce que chaque casino a \u00e0 offrir. Il existe des publications qui donnent des informations sur les conditions du blackjack dans tout le pays, mais les choses changent souvent ou sont d\u00e9form\u00e9es, donc voir de vos propres yeux est la seule fa\u00e7on de vraiment voir ce avec quoi vous pouvez travailler.<\/p>\n<p>Once I find out what games are offered, I\u2019ll develop a strategy. Often that means deciding whether or not I want to play rated, what games I want to play, and whether I need to jump my action around town or hammer a certain casino. I make those decisions based on what conditions I observe &#8211; I want to see how busy the casino is and what size bets the locals are making. Often how busy a casino is and how heavy patrons are betting dictates how hard I can hit them with action. When counting cards, you don\u2019t want to stick out, and you don\u2019t want to be the biggest bettor if everyone else is a low-roller &#8211; especially if you\u2019re playing unrated. Blending in is often the best strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Au cours de ce voyage, j'ai trouv\u00e9 des avantages diff\u00e9rents dans chaque casino. J'ai remarqu\u00e9 que l'un des casinos offrait un buffet gratuit lorsque vous accumuliez un certain nombre de points gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 leur syst\u00e8me de club de joueurs. J'ai trouv\u00e9 un jeu de vid\u00e9o poker \u00e0 faible marge de la maison, Jacks or Better, qui payait \u00e0 une \u00e9chelle de paiement de 9\/6 (c'est-\u00e0-dire des paiements de full-house et de flush, l'\u00e9chelle de paiement la plus souhaitable pour ce jeu qui a un rendement attendu de 99,46% pour une strat\u00e9gie simple). Je savais que j'avais besoin de 2000 points pour obtenir le buffet, alors \u00e0 partir de l\u00e0, j'ai fait des calculs pour voir si cela en valait la peine ou non.<\/p>\n<p>First, I need to find out how many points I get for playing a $5 hand of video poker. If, for example, each $5 hand accrues 10 points, I need to play 200 hands to accumulate 2000 points, which at $5 per hand, runs $1000 through the machine (you don\u2019t put $1000 into the machine &#8211; you\u2019re winning and losing from your original buy-in, but $1000 is \u201crun through\u201d the machine with 200 hands at $5 a hand). My expected loss for 200 hands, using the .54% house edge, is $1000*.0054 = $5.40. If you pay out of pocket, the cost of the buffet is $25.00 &#8211; so instead of paying $25.00, we pay $5.40 through the mathematical expectation of our video poker game and save ourselves $20.00 on a good dinner. That doesn\u2019t count the other perks from that casino or player\u2019s card. Those perks make that type of play and the variance that comes with it worth it in the long run.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re here to talk about blackjack, though &#8211; so let\u2019s get back to it. One fun fact about Missouri is that it\u2019s similar to Atlantic City &#8211; you can\u2019t be barred from a casino for counting cards. While card counting isn\u2019t illegal anywhere in the U.S, most other states allow casinos to pick their patrons. A casino is a private property, and they\u2019re able to bar whomever they want; some casinos seem to thoroughly enjoy barring card-counters. We\u2019ll come back to that. I found another casino, casino A, with a good game of blackjack. I was told that it was a bit intolerant of card counters, but I was on the road and didn\u2019t intend to return anytime soon. I played for a few hours without any discernible cover, and I did well. The pit-boss scowled in my direction as I colored up. I figured they\u2019d had enough for one day.<\/p>\n<p>The hour was getting late, and I was ready to pack up. I hopped into my rental car, a gray Toyota Yaris. To say it\u2019s a compact car isn\u2019t telling the whole story &#8211; I\u2019m amazed it\u2019s supported by 4 wheels.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Je me suis rendu dans un Wal-Mart proche, me suis pelotonn\u00e9 sur la banquette arri\u00e8re exigu\u00eb et me suis endormi au son des chariots tir\u00e9s dans le parking par une pauvre \u00e2me qui travaillait en \u00e9quipe de nuit. Ai-je mentionn\u00e9 que la vie d'un joueur professionnel est rarement luxueuse ?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>(Deuxi\u00e8me conseil de voyage : il est souvent possible de passer la nuit dans une auberge de jeunesse. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rollglobal.org\/2011\/08\/hobobocamping\/\">Cracker Barrel ou Walmart<\/a>. Wal-Mart dispose de plafonniers et de cam\u00e9ras, mais vous devez vous assurer que vous vous trouvez dans une zone s\u00fbre qui autorise le stationnement de nuit avant d'y passer la nuit. En outre, si vous \u00eates abonn\u00e9 \u00e0 Planet ou LA Fitness, vous pouvez vous entra\u00eener et vous doucher sur place, ce qui vous permettra d'\u00e9conomiser des centaines d'euros sur les frais d'h\u00f4tel. Si vous parvenez \u00e0 faire cela pendant une longue p\u00e9riode, consid\u00e9rez-vous comme un guerrier de la route).<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/files\/inner-image-03-1-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"chip\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-3924\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blackjackinfo.com\/files\/inner-image-03-1-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.blackjackinfo.com\/files\/inner-image-03-1.jpg 535w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-no-auto-translation=\"\" \/><br \/>\nLe lendemain matin, j'ai \u00e9t\u00e9 accueilli par un soleil de plomb et j'ai d\u00e9cid\u00e9 qu'il \u00e9tait temps de partir. Apr\u00e8s une autre journ\u00e9e de rep\u00e9rage et en profitant d'une autre opportunit\u00e9 que j'avais trouv\u00e9e, j'ai retrouv\u00e9 John et un autre joueur d'avantage itin\u00e9rant que nous appellerons Luke. Luke \u00e9tait un homme du sud avec un fort accent qui s'\u00e9tait r\u00e9cemment retir\u00e9 du jeu de l'avantage et qui \u00e9tait sur la route pour collecter les derniers comps. Nous nous sommes retrouv\u00e9s au Casino B, avons pris quelques verres dans la maison, puis avons d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de nous amuser. (Remarque : je d\u00e9conseille g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement d'\u00eatre vu avec d'autres joueurs d'avantages dans un casino, mais je ne jouais pas de mani\u00e8re cot\u00e9e et je n'avais pas l'intention d'y retourner de sit\u00f4t).<\/p>\n<p>We split up and descended onto the casino floor like a hit-squad. John branched off to hammer the main floor while Luke and I tackled the high-limit room. We went to two different tables and started to play. The count rose and fell like the tide, and we jumped our bets accordingly. The casino pit seemed flustered, running from my table back to his when each dealer shouted \u201cchecks play\u201d to signify a large bet being placed. They couldn\u2019t keep up. I could only imagine the confusion with John playing nearby. We played this way for about an hour until another pit boss arrived. I saw them convene at the computer, looking over a video of Luke\u2019s play alongside his information. I crept away to the bathroom and sent him a message about the pit activity &#8211; he cut his play short and retired to his comped hotel room and offered me a spare bed. I played on for a bit before retiring as well. Thanks to our teamwork, he avoided countermeasures, and I was able to forego Wal-Mart for a night.<\/p>\n<p>The following day I went back to Casino A to see if I could press my luck a bit more and follow up with my positive variance from the first visit. As soon as I sat down at a table to play, the phone in the pit rang, and the pit-boss answered and looked discretely in my direction. This has happened before the majority of my back-offs and is one huge indication that the pit is concerned about your presence or knows who you are (though it can also mean a number of other things &#8211; so don&#8217;t always run at first glance &#8211; use your eyes and ears).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you know his name?\u201d he nearly spat into the receiver. I smiled &#8211; they didn\u2019t.\u00a0 The pit-boss hung up the phone and walked over to the dealer and whispered in her ear. The next round, the dealer only dealt a dozen cards out of a 6-deck shoe before proceeding to shuffle.<\/p>\n<p>\"Pourquoi est-ce qu'on change de place si t\u00f4t ?\" demandai-je d'une voix aussi innocente que possible.<\/p>\n<p>\"Je fais ce qu'ils me disent\", dit-elle en me fixant du regard.<\/p>\n<p>I knew my time was up, and the casino would soon send a flyer of my face to all of the casinos in the area &#8211; complete with a description of my play, my vehicle, and every bit of information they could muster or fabricate. I tipped my hat and left with my chips, avoiding the cashier where the best cameras could be found.<\/p>\n<p>Il \u00e9tait temps de reprendre la route.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackjackinfo.com\/4000-miles-search-advantage-part-two\/\">Deuxi\u00e8me partie<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cWhat do you do for a living?\u201d It\u2019s a simple and direct question for most, but it\u2019s one that I often have trouble responding to accurately.
