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.

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>\u0e23\u0e30\u0e2b\u0e27\u0e48\u0e32\u0e07\u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e40\u0e14\u0e34\u0e19\u0e17\u0e32\u0e07\u0e04\u0e23\u0e31\u0e49\u0e07\u0e19\u0e35\u0e49 \u0e09\u0e31\u0e19\u0e1e\u0e1a\u0e02\u0e49\u0e2d\u0e14\u0e35\u0e17\u0e35\u0e48\u0e41\u0e15\u0e01\u0e15\u0e48\u0e32\u0e07\u0e01\u0e31\u0e19\u0e43\u0e19\u0e41\u0e15\u0e48\u0e25\u0e30\u0e04\u0e32\u0e2a\u0e34\u0e42\u0e19 \u0e09\u0e31\u0e19\u0e2a\u0e31\u0e07\u0e40\u0e01\u0e15\u0e27\u0e48\u0e32\u0e04\u0e32\u0e2a\u0e34\u0e42\u0e19\u0e41\u0e2b\u0e48\u0e07\u0e2b\u0e19\u0e36\u0e48\u0e07\u0e21\u0e35\u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e40\u0e2a\u0e19\u0e2d\u0e1a\u0e38\u0e1f\u0e40\u0e1f\u0e48\u0e15\u0e4c\u0e1f\u0e23\u0e35\u0e40\u0e21\u0e37\u0e48\u0e2d\u0e04\u0e38\u0e13\u0e2a\u0e30\u0e2a\u0e21\u0e04\u0e30\u0e41\u0e19\u0e19\u0e16\u0e36\u0e07\u0e08\u0e33\u0e19\u0e27\u0e19\u0e17\u0e35\u0e48\u0e01\u0e33\u0e2b\u0e19\u0e14\u0e1c\u0e48\u0e32\u0e19\u0e23\u0e30\u0e1a\u0e1a\u0e04\u0e25\u0e31\u0e1a\u0e1c\u0e39\u0e49\u0e40\u0e25\u0e48\u0e19\u0e02\u0e2d\u0e07\u0e1e\u0e27\u0e01\u0e40\u0e02\u0e32\u0e09\u0e31\u0e19\u0e1e\u0e1a\u0e40\u0e01\u0e21\u0e27\u0e34\u0e14\u0e35\u0e42\u0e2d\u0e42\u0e1b\u0e4a\u0e01\u0e40\u0e01\u0e2d\u0e23\u0e4c\u0e17\u0e35\u0e48\u0e21\u0e35\u0e2d\u0e31\u0e15\u0e23\u0e32\u0e40\u0e2a\u0e35\u0e22\u0e40\u0e1b\u0e23\u0e35\u0e22\u0e1a\u0e02\u0e2d\u0e07\u0e04\u0e32\u0e2a\u0e34\u0e42\u0e19\u0e15\u0e48\u0e33 \u0e0a\u0e37\u0e48\u0e2d\u0e27\u0e48\u0e32 Jacks or Better \u0e0b\u0e36\u0e48\u0e07\u0e08\u0e48\u0e32\u0e22\u0e40\u0e07\u0e34\u0e19\u0e23\u0e32\u0e07\u0e27\u0e31\u0e25\u0e15\u0e32\u0e21\u0e2d\u0e31\u0e15\u0e23\u0e32 9\/6 (\u0e19\u0e31\u0e48\u0e19\u0e04\u0e37\u0e2d\u0e2d\u0e31\u0e15\u0e23\u0e32\u0e01\u0e32\u0e23\u0e08\u0e48\u0e32\u0e22\u0e2a\u0e33\u0e2b\u0e23\u0e31\u0e1a\u0e1f\u0e39\u0e25\u0e40\u0e2e\u0e32\u0e2a\u0e4c\u0e41\u0e25\u0e30\u0e1f\u0e25\u0e31\u0e0a \u0e0b\u0e36\u0e48\u0e07\u0e40\u0e1b\u0e47\u0e19\u0e2d\u0e31\u0e15\u0e23\u0e32\u0e08\u0e48\u0e32\u0e22\u0e17\u0e35\u0e48\u0e14\u0e35\u0e17\u0e35\u0e48\u0e2a\u0e38\u0e14\u0e2a\u0e33\u0e2b\u0e23\u0e31\u0e1a\u0e40\u0e01\u0e21\u0e19\u0e35\u0e49 \u0e0b\u0e36\u0e48\u0e07\u0e43\u0e2b\u0e49\u0e1c\u0e25\u0e15\u0e2d\u0e1a\u0e41\u0e17\u0e19\u0e17\u0e35\u0e48\u0e04\u0e32\u0e14\u0e2b\u0e27\u0e31\u0e07 99.461% \u0e2a\u0e33\u0e2b\u0e23\u0e31\u0e1a\u0e01\u0e25\u0e22\u0e38\u0e17\u0e18\u0e4c\u0e41\u0e1a\u0e1a\u0e07\u0e48\u0e32\u0e22)\u0e09\u0e31\u0e19\u0e23\u0e39\u0e49\u0e27\u0e48\u0e32\u0e09\u0e31\u0e19\u0e15\u0e49\u0e2d\u0e07\u0e01\u0e32\u0e23 2000 \u0e04\u0e30\u0e41\u0e19\u0e19\u0e40\u0e1e\u0e37\u0e48\u0e2d\u0e23\u0e31\u0e1a\u0e1a\u0e38\u0e1f\u0e40\u0e1f\u0e48\u0e15\u0e4c \u0e14\u0e31\u0e07\u0e19\u0e31\u0e49\u0e19\u0e09\u0e31\u0e19\u0e08\u0e36\u0e07\u0e04\u0e33\u0e19\u0e27\u0e13\u0e14\u0e39\u0e27\u0e48\u0e32\u0e21\u0e31\u0e19\u0e04\u0e38\u0e49\u0e21\u0e04\u0e48\u0e32\u0e2b\u0e23\u0e37\u0e2d\u0e44\u0e21\u0e48.<\/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>\u0e09\u0e31\u0e19\u0e21\u0e38\u0e48\u0e07\u0e2b\u0e19\u0e49\u0e32\u0e44\u0e1b\u0e17\u0e35\u0e48\u0e27\u0e2d\u0e25\u0e21\u0e32\u0e23\u0e4c\u0e17\u0e43\u0e01\u0e25\u0e49\u0e40\u0e04\u0e35\u0e22\u0e07

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>\u201c\u0e17\u0e33\u0e44\u0e21\u0e40\u0e23\u0e32\u0e15\u0e49\u0e2d\u0e07\u0e2a\u0e31\u0e1a\u0e44\u0e1e\u0e48\u0e40\u0e23\u0e47\u0e27\u0e02\u0e19\u0e32\u0e14\u0e19\u0e35\u0e49?\u201d \u0e09\u0e31\u0e19\u0e16\u0e32\u0e21\u0e14\u0e49\u0e27\u0e22\u0e19\u0e49\u0e33\u0e40\u0e2a\u0e35\u0e22\u0e07\u0e44\u0e23\u0e49\u0e40\u0e14\u0e35\u0e22\u0e07\u0e2a\u0e32\u0e17\u0e35\u0e48\u0e2a\u0e38\u0e14\u0e40\u0e17\u0e48\u0e32\u0e17\u0e35\u0e48\u0e08\u0e30\u0e17\u0e33\u0e44\u0e14\u0e49.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u0e09\u0e31\u0e19\u0e01\u0e47\u0e41\u0e04\u0e48\u0e17\u0e33\u0e15\u0e32\u0e21\u0e17\u0e35\u0e48\u0e1e\u0e27\u0e01\u0e40\u0e02\u0e32\u0e1a\u0e2d\u0e01\u201d \u0e40\u0e18\u0e2d\u0e01\u0e25\u0e48\u0e32\u0e27\u0e1e\u0e25\u0e32\u0e07\u0e08\u0e49\u0e2d\u0e07\u0e21\u0e2d\u0e07\u0e21\u0e32\u0e17\u0e35\u0e48\u0e09\u0e31\u0e19\u0e2d\u0e22\u0e48\u0e32\u0e07\u0e27\u0e48\u0e32\u0e07\u0e40\u0e1b\u0e25\u0e48\u0e32.<\/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.
