This seems like an inherently poor idea... I mean, I hope they're just showing the $10 change to $505 for the cameras. ANY $10 table they're going to freak out if they think they missed a $500 chip bet. They'll call the PB over, and any decent PB would call the EITS for verification, which would get you thrown in jail. The beauty of the Savannah was that the money was there the whole time.

I'd still love to watch the episode of course =P. Did you say Nat Geo this Wednesday 10/21/15? Do you know the actual name of the show and/or if it'll be a series or just a show?

Thanks for the info =).
Playing it correctly means you've already won.

One isn't going to get away with doing this more than a couple times, if at all.

If true, it's not bright.

Show is locked without a participating provider sign-in, so I'm writing it up inside a tag.

So far they're following a 2 man cheat crew where the main guy is switching his bottom chip larger when he has a good hand and claims a mispay, a member of a 5 to 10 man Crips crew looking to do armed robbery, a trick roller, and a card marker. They're working thru the Aria surveillance room on general stuff and the card marker (who has a daub inside his left sleeve), the 2 man crew is in or near Paris after having gotten dressed and practicing in a Harrah's room, the trick roller was also dressing in a Harrah's room, don't know where the Crip is except in his car.

The card marker was a training exercise (fake/plant). The chip stacker claims he and his partner made 1100 net with 3 cheat plays during the evening. The Crip seems to be on his own with the rest of his gang in prison after a shootout during a robbery.

(irrelevant: I don't know why you have to have a cable provider to watch the stupid show. There are 3-6 commercials every 5 minutes. Annoying.)

Crip still cruising for a good place. Trick roller Vixen has hit someone on the Strip for $300 on a trick gone bad, runs out when he calls security, gets away. Interview with Mike of the Plaza security. More with trashy Vixen. Interview with old mobster Jimmy, who takes illegal sports bets and enforces payoffs. End of show is him leaving to meet a guy who owes him, baseball bat in hand.

All in all a complete waste. But no card counters.



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

Poorly made rip off of half a dozen other
shows about Vegas crime. These were all
actors, not real criminals. Past posting
at BJ in 2015, really? Dealer, pit and surv
are all well trained for this now, you would
have a short career. A black guy driving
around with a shotgun in the front seat
looking for casinos to rob. A chubby little
hooker robbing her johns. Some guy
marking cards at BJ and winning five big
hands in a row, at a table all by himself.
Turns out it was a test, but totally
unrealistic.

Even the Savannah doesn't work anymore.
If you put two chips on the table and the
top one is offset, like it is in the move, the
dealer will always straighten them up to make
sure they are the same. This came about
to defeat the Savannah.

Watch this is you have to, but don't say
you weren't warned.
