This article appears in today's cdc gaming newsletter via link. Might as well know what's being circulated, so here it is.

Quote: Excerpt



Grosjean was frustrated. His signalling was not perfected yet — some gestures were being missed. That, combined with a bit of bad luck, had put Munchkin into a difficult situation. Their scheme, their "play" against the casino, was perhaps too complicated to pull off, Grosjean would later concede. Still, he kept feeding Munchkin information about the cards.

Slowly, as the night ground on, some of the high-returning prop bets started to pay off. Signalled that Ace, 2 and 4 all had a high likelihood of exclusion before one turn of the cards, Munchkin threw a $100 chip across the felt and said, "One-hundred, Yo 11!" He was betting $100 that the next cards would be 6 and 5.

When they came up, Munchkin shot a fist in the air and shouted, "Yoooo!" The wager paid 15-to-1, for a quick $1,500.

The thrill was feigned. An observant dealer, a man who appeared to be in his early 30s and bore a resemblance to Keanu Reeves, discerned something fishy. Maybe he had noticed the discreet glances at Grosjean. Or perhaps it was something about Munchkin’s overall demeanour. But after "Little Joe" hit a second Yo prop bet, the dealer looked up toward the ceiling, possibly hoping to catch the eye of someone monitoring a surveillance camera, and said in a singsong, "Card counter...”

Glances were exchanged between. ..

If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

Kaplan has been writing articles about Grosjean for more than 7 years. For example,

It's dated Nov 1, and the US link is from today. Not the first time Kaplan has written about JG, but I for one had not read it before.

Yeah, but I couldn't tell you when. Sometime this year.

Edit: Posted here July 1st. I'm bored.
