happened to be listening to the gambling with an edge show and heard bob refer to ace as jay in reference to the problem he had at the revel when doubling and getting 21 and dealer ended up having blackjack. Dancer claimed that ace was taking a shot
I think the gauntlet has been thrown down
The bet will not be paid- not now not ever

HAHA I think it was Munchkin who said I was taking a shot - Dancer called me a "whiner" and claimed I went "ballistic" - I chalked it up to poetic license

" I think it was Munchkin who said I was taking a shot" And that Munchkin was absolutely correct. Now follow the yellow brick road back to AC, sissy !

wow, hmmmm, ace I do have to tell you I 100 percent agree with you and would have done the same thing, but in the back of my head I would have known I was wrong and was taking a shot, but if you are going to take the shot might as well score

Ace has admitted taking a shot, rather proudly I might add.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with taking the shot. If you don't shoot, you can't score...

Well then Karma might hound you. Karma has a way to even out scores.

Often winning a bogus arguement is like pi$$ing in a dark pant. It gives a warm feeling, but no one else notices it.

OK - it is 11:30pm on Saturday night and I am checking out of the Revel:


Was playing in the UltraLounge with another lady ( we were the only 2 playing in the entire area)
Another gentleman came in and they informed him they would be shuffling every hand (apparently he was a known
counter)

So, he walked away...I continued to play with the lady who I am friendly with as well
About 10 hands into the shoe the dealer had an Ace showing, checked the hole card and said NO BLACKJACK
lady at table busts

I have a 9,2 , I double and get a 10
Dealer has the Ace and flips over a KING
Blackjack

she pushes my double down 100 bet back and takes my original 100 bet
I protest stating that, since she played the hand, it should count as a push
the floor person says NOPE, calls over Pit Boss, who says Doug, that is an honest mistake - so I said, sure,
but the game is in your control and, since the hand was played through, it should count as a push
I ask for the shift manager
(mind you, about 20 minutes have now gone by, with NOBODY PLAYING, because only the lady at my table and I
were playing int he whole UltraLounge)
Finally, about 10 minutes later a shift manager comes (now it is 30 minutes without a hand being played on a
Saturday night) and tries to tell me that a dealer mistake cannot benefit me and goes on to state that if the
dealer had accidentally hit a soft 17 and noticed her mistake, they would roll the tape back and repay
everyone's money if nobody notice - I was ready to shout B***S***!!! But I refrained
So, I asked him if all this arguing for 30 minutes was worth the 100 chip and if losing my business forever
was worth a 100 chip - his answer was "Rules are rules"
I stated that it is this type of management that is keeping Revel at the bottom of the barrel

I'm all for taking a shot but not if I'm going to lose playing time and draw heat. I played two short and profitable sessions at Revel against a weak dealer.They chatted me up and did everything they could to get me to join the players club. No thanks. See ya!

I just HATE when casinos do that. I remember when there
were no players clubs, no computers, no electronic tracking.
You wanted a comp you asked them right on the spot. I've
never had a card and never will. Sometimes they act like
its life and death if you don't get one. Yeah, death of their
jobs..
