This reduces the possiblity of Blackjack as face cards are separate from aces. Into face card clump, dealer is likely to push with players. Both have 20. When entering small card clump, dealer likely makes the hand while player chooses to stand on his hand. Yeah... and if they do this more...

Barona: no more 6 deck... just Freebet 6 Deck lol! 2 Deck w/late surrender and respite aces still available @ $25 min and up! Sycuan has 1 Six Deck game @ $10 - $15 depending on the day 2 Deck has surrender now like Barona but no re-split Aceholes. I would watch the game before you sit down...

You got to be kidding... where did this counter learn to count and keep a good cover? I'm seeing this a lot in many youtube videos... sudden bet jumps from min to a 1000 or more! From 2x $25 bet to 2 X $1k bet? Even the pit boss told him it was an interesting way to play... bet from 25 and 25...

I know a blackjack Youtuber who is being 'sponsored' by the casino one could say ;) Good advertising... funny how most of them are always winning! Going on a tangent here: More and more casinos are going to CSMs I've noticed. Just came back from the Palms (i think the first vegas casino to be...

Yeah but I would back count the shoe if possible because sometimes you're playing into a clump of 10s or small cards which throw everything off. I remember someone saying that they hit 16 the beginning even with a positive TC, and wait for more resolution until deviating. My # is -4 or greater...

Double Deck at the Palms or across the street... Gold Coast (hand shuffled). When I was there on a weekday it was $10 min last summer. Palms was $25. By me (SoCal) a lot of 6 - 8 deck games that are $15 min went 6:5 Blackjack ... even here except the $25 double deck and high limit areas.

Hello guys! I was at a casino here and the discussion somehow turned into how a dealer can cheat and why he/she would do that? I chimed in and told them about what I've encountered and was even in on it (dealer purposely showing me the hole card and dealing seconds) in order for him to make...

BJG... do you have a clumping strategy on paper? I would say pretty much play like the house when the shoe is definitely clumped or just leave. Up your bets as you win and if you're losing more than 3 in a row leave?

Hey G! Yeah... you're right though ... I"m working on it.

Okay... been over a year since this post... how you doing now?

Hello Larry :) Taoist you are when it comes to replies ;) That's why I put ' ' before and after... I know it's illegal. But that doesn't stop any one casino from doing it. Hey believe me... I know the math works, but one can subvert the math via some sorta manipulation.

Fact is true no matter if the asm or dealer (via hand) is stacking the cards. If you clump the cards like LLKewlJ observed and BJgenius... it's going to subvert BS & the AP implementing whatever counting system totally. You won't stand a chance. All & all ... it's best to observe and if things...

Wow... you just can't make a play that deviates from Basic Strategy based on the true count without someone saying something. Another person telling me you don't know what's coming next... anything can happen. Okay... I agree to a point... you can narrow down to a percentage that you'll get a 10...

As it turns out, the closer you get to expert opinions on the subject, the less likely you’ll find conspiracies about the machines. In a post on Oct. 21 in the widely read and respected Anthony Curtis’ Las Vegas Advisor, gaming expert Arnold Snyder replied with skepticism. First, he said...
