NJ to Vegas car route
Quote: RSCar manufacturers default window tint is at least 70%. The lower the number, the darker it is. If I'm not mistaken, for the most part:
Regular (default) windows -- 70% -- very easy to see through, no tint
Lightly tinted (my rear windows in my car) -- 35% -- appear tinted but can still see through
Dark tint -- 20% -- obviously tinted, can't see through at night, might be able to see through during day (barely)
Very dark tint -- 5% -- limo tint....can't see through it whatsoever, unless you put your face right up to it
I'd probably wait till summer time to tint your windows. The heat and sunlight help set it the right way. I got mine done in the winter (northern MW area) and it got f***ed up, although hard to tell. I might re-do my windows, probably 20% in the back and 35% in the front.
Mine are 15% all around including the rear windshield. It being a 2 door sports car, it's really only 2 windows and the little small glass behind it, which is not a window and then the rear windshield. The car being all black should help disguise it a bit. At least I hope, but who cares, WINDOWS DOWN ALL TRIP!

In LV, I'd imagine you'll be fine. When I got my card registered here (please don't go off on a fascism tirade or something about registering a car), I asked the DMV dude about legal tint in NV -- he said front 3 windows are technically supposed to be 70%+, the ones in the back can be whatever, but since it's so damn hot and sunny in LV a cop isn't going to write you up for tinted windows unless you give him a reason to (or your front windshield is tinted).

It is about time. I wasn't going to chime in because I was amazed nobody knew or explained this. It has always been this way in Las Vegas. No copper will bother you about window tint unless you did something to send them off the deep end. All my windows are vey dark but I have cars that blend in and look just like any other schmucks car. I never understood people driving expensive cars that draw attention. You want to hustle, con, AP or whatever you want to call it, your first order of business is to blend in and look like everyone else. Expensive cars or toys have unreasonable costs and maintenance... I don't get it but I understand greed and people want things like that.
I've seen people with tinted windshields out here many times so take that information for what it is worth. I still don't believe the story and how on Earth are you gonna make it in Vegas counting cards when you ran into problems in Pennsylvania? Vegas has to be smarter than those hicks. I can say hicks cause I grew up in Pennsylvania. Kinda like that guy who was chocolate and vanilla so he said he was allowed to say naggers. I hate people who nag!

I think you're making a big deal about nothing. Have you never traveled before?Quote: ZenKinGLooks like Google Maps doesnt have the 'southern route' up anymore. I hope this is not because there have been some major closures due to winter storms coming?
My final plan is to take 78 which turns into 81 down to 40 in Tennessee, then ALL THE WAY ACROSS to Kingman, Arizona and finally taking 93 up to vegas. Yes, I will have to face my demons with Oklahoma cops. But to me this is the best route, because 40 if it's bad i could always go down all the way to 10 which should give me a good chance of avoiding snow. All in all, if i dont have to drop down to 10, it looks like it's going to be about a 39 hour trip.
The states I will be driving through with this route will initially be Pennsylvania, then taking 81 down through Maryland, Virginia, into Tennessee then taking 40 through Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and then finally Arizona where I pick up 93 in Kingman and take it up to 515 and finally get to Vegas.

Flagstaff is under a winter storm warning, and snow is forecast through Monday. Going to get cold too, so if you're still planning on driving with the windows down you better bring a good jacket as by Tuesday the high is going to be 27 with a low of 8.
And remember that everything moves from west to east, so the storms that start today in Flagstaff, (it's snowing there now), will be in NM later today or tomorrow, and into the TX panhandle and OK in a couple of days.
Have a a great trip!
I can't imagine there is a cop in this country that wouldn't pull you over for this alone. Driving with windows down in inclement weather is a dead giveaway that something is up. Typically, it's because it is a stolen car, and the window was busted out by the thief to gain access.Quote: ZenKinGWINDOWS DOWN ALL TRIP!
That said, I wish you the best of luck. Let us know when you get to Vegas!
Deposit the money in the account now: do it at the NJ branch; leave the money in the bank til you get to Sin City, then withdraw it as needed once you get there.
Heck, you'll need an account anyway, so why not?
Unless the money is "dirty" and cannot be put in a bank due to fear of discovery, but that is a whole different story.
Quote: MrVLike someone else suggested, you should open a bank account in a bank that has branches across the country, including NJ and Las Vegas.

Gee is it that obvious that he is just fishing? I was thinking that if your scared to carry cash you could just send it to yourself by courier. So many ways to hide it in your car or use some luggage with false bottoms or secret panels. You could sew hundreds into your jackets and pants. You could make part of your car solid gold and paint it like in that Ben Stiller movie. If your gonna hide it in your shoes, sew it under your liners and hide some inside your heels. How about inside your spare tire? You have to take the tire off and back on the rim. Sew it into your interior roof lining. Hide it in the door panels like the French Connection. Buy one of those Russian Dolls, they always fool cops.
Now that I think about it. I figure ZenKing works for a Vegas Casino, probably Stations and this is how he gets APs to take time away from APing! Very clever you sum***ch! Yes... I just watched smokey and the bandit again.

I hope the drive is an easy one. I put your route into Google Maps and it showed a ton of road construction in Tennessee.
Quote: DRichDid you decide to delay the trip?
Yea my plan is 2nd week of February or by end of February. Just trying to build up my bankroll a bit more before i head out there. Also there was a storm watch i believe and just in general, traveling in January isnt the best idea in a RWD car. My plan is February now, hopefully gives me a little more room to grind up a bit more in my bankroll before i make the move as well as hopefully give the weather another month to potentially dry up in case i run into something.
I know the doubters will now use this as "I told you guys he was a troll and never going out there", but i dont care. I know what i plan on doing whether anyone believes it or not.
Also ive had time to re-think my playing strategy a bit more as well. I think Im going to just purely backcount in vegas for max 1 hour sessions. As crazy as that sounds, it looks much less suspicious and brings much less attention to yourself than constantly wonging out of -1 counts. You might get 1-2 shoes max in that one hour, so instead of wonging out of -1 counts many times, just standing around watching looks a lot less alarming i think. What do you guys think? Is it realistic to last in vegas just backcounting without spotters for max 1 hour sessions and then moving on to a different casino? Will i be flagged all over town within 3 months? If so, can someone please give me a much better strategy for longevity, instead of either going off topic about why i shouldnt count, or why this is a bad idea, or what im doing wrong.
I originally had the play off the top idea and wonging out at -1 and only showing my spread once and then moving on to a different store, but then the question of getting any worthwhile long term EV came to question so i changed to the backcounting approach. I have Vinny DeCarlo's book about casino surveillance and the insider's secrets of many vegas casinos that i use as a guideline as well. Maybe i might just pure wong the casinos that dont worry about surveillance or that have weak surveillances and save the off the top strategy for top notch surveillance stores like Aria. I guess it's not gonna be so cut and dry and will have to adapt to each casino as previous posters have said.

The first thing that you could do is go back and read everything that KewlJ had ever written here about the subject of longevity if that is something that you are concerned about. It is a subject that he has always emphasized and continues to emphasize, even though he is not a Member (Nuked) here anymore. No, we are not getting into why he was or was not nuked in this thread, so don't ask, all public information available on that can also be researched here and elsewhere.
With back counting or with wonging-out, I think that either of those things look suspicious, but I imagine wonging might get you into some trouble that you don't expect. When you are counting, (and I am nowhere near an expert at this) it seems that you can determine a casino's comfort level, and perhaps even gauge how the pit feels about your presence at the table. While they are getting information on you, you are simultaneously getting information on them.
I think back counting exclusively might prove to be a little different. Even for those casinos that allow mid-shoe entry, as soon as you are even suspected of back counting, surveillance can look at the tape (even if you have left) and BOOM, bye-bye next time you are seen in there. I cannot imagine you would even know that the boot is coming before it happened. Surveillance (or someone in the pit) might see you watching the Blackjack tables again, you sit down, they rewind the tape and figure out the count really quick...see ya. I don't think they'll be inclined to view twice as a coincidence, twice should be enough to satisfy them that it is a pattern.
Hopefully you'll get an answer from someone with a ton of experience on this matter rather than someone going off of what other parties have told him, (and very little personal experience on this specific subject) but until then, that is my opinion. I simply do not believe that back counting exclusively goes hand in hand with longevity. Also, it may be more likely to get you on a flier than mere counting.

Yes i have read a lot about KJ's strategy and that's where I originally got my ideas from about keeping sessions to no more than 1 hour and then leaving and hopping around. He also seems to go by the 'show the spread once and leave' approach as well. I was going to do all of that and adopt his full approach, but i just feel there would be too many shoes i would be wonging out of in the hour and you can only take so many bathroom breaks(suspicious). I also don't see how you can log any significant amount of hours/rounds for the year to get a good amount of EV, at least for what im aiming for. Regarding the off the top wong outs at -1, i guess i could take a bathroom break for the first wong out, then the other ones I could just formulate an act and get mad at the cards and change table to get a 'winning streak' going and to 'change up the cards'.
Regarding back-counting, the problem with them doing a tape review is that they would first have to suspect of me and that's why i would be keeping sessions short and constantly switching up shifts. Besides I wont be betting more than 2x200 or 2x250, which is around most casinos comfort level on the strip. Also many stores dont utilize their surveillance department at all and all of the heat originates from the floor at least according to Vinny DeCarlo's book. For example he says Bellagio has something called the 'BloodHound' for tracking counters, but they never use it and surveillance never initiates action on a counter until the floor calls them up, so all the heat that you have to worry about would be at the floor. I guess what I could do is just backcount those types of stores and the ones with active surveillance i could just play off the top.
Thanks for taking the time to respond though, i appreciate it.

Please excuse me if I don't recall what your anticipated spread is in actual dollar values, because I don't. I understand that KewlJ often spreads Green to mid-black, and (as well as many other card counters) suggests that you don't want to spread across two colors. (such as red to black) If your anticipated stakes are not as high as his, then I could understand where it might be difficult to hit enough places on a daily basis, playing only an hour at a time and/or showing your spread only once, to make whatever amount in EV your goal is.
As you may know, while KewlJ still makes most of his money card counting BJ, he and several other AP's have diversified into other tactics such as machine play, playing the mail, hole carding and things like that. Might I suggest it would behoove you to engage in other plays besides card counting.

You would definitely want to keep your sessions short and you otherwise make some pretty good counterarguments in favor of back counting. I suppose, if most of your heat starts at the floor, then your degree of success is going to be largely predicated upon how well you can back count without making it apparent that is what you are doing. How you would do that is a question better left for someone other than me.

Seems a bit unfair since I was only directly quoting what he said someone like me would say if you read his next to last post before I posted. It was more of a joke, using his own quote against him, rather than an insult. I know he is not a real troll. He is a very serious player who is going to be in town with the rest of us soon enough.

Once you get an extra board shift... which will be the worst hours and 12 hours for sure 6 days a week. Now you better get ready to long haul or cheat in some way so you can make average book. I had no problem making book with minimum long hauling but I never stopped and I know every inch of this city. All the back ways in, out and around. Enjoy paying for your gas or paying for your gas with trip fees.
Learn how to deal or run room service or wait tables. Work in a casino. Taxi driver??? Your out of your mind if you think it's gonna be a weekend gig or work when you want. You'll have no time to count cards drving taxi. You could work 6 hours driving and 4 hours playing and run the meter awhile to make your 275 to 350 average out of your pocket to pay the cartels.

I guess you could do uber or lift but that's insanity as well.
Your better off learning video poker and you'll make better hourly compared to driving taxi. Wait till you see the health insurance they force you to buy driving taxi!

Well when I said I would taxi I didn't mean I'd still be racking up hours in counting simultaneously. My idea was to work taxi full time for 3 months or so to get a bit of an extra bankroll boost if I need to. By the wwy I have driven limo before here in NJ for a year so I do have experience. Sure I don't know the routes in vegas, but I would quickly figure it out. Besides, I would obviously have a GPS at the start, even my phone GPS would do.

ATTORNEY: Ah, HAH! Hostile witness, Your Honor. The witness consistently waffles about the facts. Now, sir, let me remind you, you are under oath. Did you or did you not say you would seek employment upon your arrival?
DEFENDANT: Well, my intention is not to seek formal employment when I arrive. But, I have considered it as a fall-back plan.
ATTORNEY: Ah, HAH! Regarding your bankroll...
JUDGE LUCKY: Mr. Attorney, please focus your interrogation on the broader, life-changing aspects of this matter.
ATTORNEY: But, Your Honor! I haven't yet had asked about travel routes and car windows...
JUDGE LUCKY: Sheesh... Proceed, if you must.
Just like everyone else, I have greatly enjoyed PokerGrinder's Asian adventure. And, I know Tennessee ain't no Singapore. But, Zen, I wish you the best on your trip, and I look forward to you sharing (from afar) whatever part of your journey you post on this forum. Petal to the metal, Buddy!
Now, just how does one unfasten this judicial robe?
