Jeff Haney Confesses



TALES FROM THE TABLES:
Confessions of a card counter

By Jeff Haney
Sun, Mar 23, 2008

I don’t know how many times I’ve been banned from playing blackjack in casinos. In the parlance of the game,
I’ve “lost the count.” I savored the irony when it happened for the 21st time (get it, 21?), but now I usually
just say “dozens.”

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s the more guys in suits glaring at you as you play, the more trouble you can expect.
In the boundless lingo of card counting, that’s called “heat.” Soon after comes “the tap” — on the shoulder — to tell you
that your game is no longer welcome here, sir.

I first met Jeff at the tables at SlotsFun in '99. We did some team-play a few times. He is the teammate I refer to here:
ZGI PAGE-32:
Do you have any concrete results that would justify these [mystical] concepts?
My results are totally inconclusive, statistically speaking, although chanting Buddhist good-luck
mantras at the blackjack table is certainly good for cover! One of my biggest wins was at the old
Reserve in Henderson while loudly chanting ‘Nam-Myo-Ho-Renge-Kyo.’ Afterwards, a teammate
stepped within earshot of the pit-critters who had been in attendance and overheard them
discussing, “What do you think he was chanting?” to which the other replied, “He was probably
putting a curse on us.”​
