Quote: KeyserSozeAce- keep posting brother. I enjoy your reports. No need to defend or justify how you play. Just do what you do, then write about it.
Thanks Keyser - it is enjoyable for me to post...I guess some people think that unless you are Ken Uston you do not have a tale to tell
Quote: djatcI like reading about all types of gamblers. Sometimes its therapeutic to write out your frustrations, like sharing bad beats in poker. Keep it coming ace
Thanks DJ - it is cathartic when bad beats occur

I find some of your posts very enjoyable. Some
of them really irritate me. I try and block those
posts out.
Quote: Dicenor33It's almost 40 years since the idea of card counting has been introduced. It would be naive to think that casinos have not found an effective way to battle the problem. I wish some of the math experts could prove that today's games can not be counted, it simply does not work, as it does not work with baccarat.
They have found a way. Blackjack remains the most profitable table game in America despite the fact that it has been beatable for decades.
The reason? The vast herd of recreational, moronic, and half-smart players overwhelms the tiny minority who play with an edge.
The fact that blackjack is beatable (but difficult and time-consuming to actually beat) has been the best advertising the casinos could have ever hoped for.

40? Thorp's book came out in 1962. And there's
been card counters that the casinos were aware of
in Vegas since the 40's, it's nothing new.
This concludes the alert.

a lot of casinos have figured this out which is why there are so many CSM's
Also, I do not understand the lady in red comments.
Trip is +900

You're lucky. When Asian players see me, they usually curse me out. (They hate when I bet 'Player' against their 'Banker' at baccarat...lol)
Quote: aceofspadesThe lady in red is in the building!
Bout time, I told her to be there yesterday.
Quote: GWAEis this lady in red the same lady or do you count any lady in a red outfit?
Yes the same lady but this time she is wearing all denim a/k/a the Texas Tuxedo
Quote: PerditionDoes the change in wardrobe affect the Lady's evil powers?

She's watching you with the Evil Eye. Look at her
and see if she doesn't look back.

me down, though.

How be the voodoo doll?
Feel an urge to curse out the dealer for no reason?
Want to grab a waitress's ass when she passes?
Give in to these urges, it's okay.

I'll go with that! I'll also refrain from posting about dice or craps or anything else that I know nothing about.
in the one half shoe I played the dealer scored herself 7 natural blackjacks and 4 hands of multi-card 21s...I ended up losing 2k in that half shoe...so, up I went and switched tables...
Playing one shoe at the new table...I finally had a nice run where I could press and won the 2k back from the half shoe from hell moments earlier plus another 800
Trip is now +800
I am having a late night snack and heading to bed
Sweet dreams to all and I am glad you are all enjoying my posts

This is the kind of detail that your posts need
more of..
Quote: mdsTrue, I am a novice player however, isn't it true the cards don't have eyes? Meaning why get up from a table and go to another and another? If the count is way in the favor of the shoe I understand. But if the count is in your favor why move? Human emotion or a feeling doesn't change the cards. True? What would you pros (Advantage Players) do?
Win or lose, I put out the bet called for according to the count. If I lose ten hands in a row, the next bet goes up without hesitation or emotion as long as I have the advantage. Emotion is good for cover but that's another story. It just takes too long to get the advantage to throw it away on superstition, especially in shoe games. Why leave a positive shoe to start a neutral shoe?
Does it always work out? No, in the short term you will take your lumps.
Quote: aceofspadesThen perhaps you should block this thread so it is off your radar
WIZARD should I stop posting? Please advise...thank you
There is no reason for you to stop posting.

Quote: aceofspadesGood morning everyone -- doing some sightseeing today with my cousin.
Is your 'cousin' cute? Is she from a Vegas
'Rent a Cousin' for a day agency?
Although I did play a short session with the fastest dealer of all timr and wound up 500 to the good after 4 shuffles of 2D
Trip is +1300

I love this play.

But...just played a 3 shuffle 2D mini-session with nothing to write home about where I ended plus 600
Trip is +2100
