bait and BARR!

I recently read the following accusation: "Certain Casino's, such as TI, offer a few DD tables with decent rules, so as to 'attract' the CC's." With just a few tables to focus on, it is fairly easy for survelience to spot the true AP's. Easy then to get nailed by betting too much, and/or applying trade to 6D non-CSM games.

Along the same lines, until recently, one of the best SD games in LV was at "Slots-A-Fun"...I am seeing now that they have went to 6:5. Last year, when I was there, they practiced what they advertised, i.e., good SD rules...as long as you did not mind playing with 6 others, and as long as you did not mind getting shuffled-up on every time you raised your bet...at least they dealth 2 rounds to 7, as long as you did not raise your bet.

Had they not went 6:5, I had the following strategy for my upcoming trip...bet $25 in neutral and positive counts, and jump my bet to $100. in negative counts, causing a shuffle...thus, I would always be playing an even or better game.

But I always thought that this was wierd, in that I used the same Players Card at "Lots-A-Shuffles", Jerkus-Jerkus, Manmaybegay, Fuxher, Mount-Me-Carlos, as well as "Old-Dyke" in Tunica.

So, TO THE POINT OF THIS POST, is there any truth to this theory, i.e., "Bait and Barr?" Or am I just being paranoid?

No, I am not trying to be paranoid, it is just that they will not stop talking about me!

Know any good Psychologists?

P.S.: SERIOUSLY, is there TRUTH to this rumor, or am I really PARANOID?

If your asking...

...if that's the only reason they offer double deck games, the answer is most certainly no. From what I understand, most of the big fish and whales prefer handheld blackjack games, for more than one reason. Why do you think they have good DD at the Bellagio? To trap a couple 5 or 6 (or even 7) figure players/teams, or to keep the 8, 9, and 10 figure high rollers (who far outnumber the "high-roller" advantage players) happy?

Secondly, recent information I have recieved confirms that a major strip casino has experienced serious inaccuracy from facial recognition technology in identifying players while seated at the tables. TI, of course, uses facial recognition, and is likely experiencing similar technical difficulties.

Surely the oven's gonna be on a bit higher, and more frequently where they are make more bread, which is at the higher limit pitch games. I seriously doubt it's possible to "sweat" these games much more than they have been...oh, you may not always see it, but the eye is ALWAYS intently focused at higher min tables (ESPECIALLY hand-held games due to mucking, etc.), and even more so when there seems to be "no heat" coming from the floor.

Just my non-pitch-playin', non-high-rollin' opinion.

You are not paranoid

You know you are not paranoid, they really are out to get you.

By the way, what kind of advantage could you get with your strategy at SOF? It seems VERY small, and hardly worth the effort, since effectively your max bet is $25.

Re: You are not paranoid

Yes, I know. SOF advantange now academic, since they are reported to have went 6:5. I would like to think an advantage of 1.67%, based on Carlon's numbers. Realize that I was planning to make a $25. bet at + Counts, and if not for the Shuffle Game, I would be betting $5-$25, i.e., 5:1 spread.

For this upcoming trip, will only have 800 units...plan to start low, and when I win (positive attitude), then parlay up my base bets as my growing bankroll allows.

If I do not stick to this plan, may spend most of the week at the penny slots at Gold Spike. I have read that some of the Beggars and Panhandlers in Downtown LV pull down $400-500. per day.

Hmmmm! Plan C....

"I have read that some of the Beggars and Panhandlers in Downtown LV pull down $400-500. per day."

I know a pair of hustlers that score $200 each per day squegin car windows in TO, so I'm sure in a town made of money this is possible. Now you know why Clarke Cant the "dumpster diver" doesn't post or play bj anymore. I hear you can eat lobster tails to your hearts content if you get them while they are still frozen. Ex date +1 doesn't pass the health department regs but sure tastes good on the barbie.

Eat better than a comped meal, beg like a beggar, and either pay for your room or play for a free room with your donations.

"There's no life like it and I won't forget the day
That I chose to live the dumpster way"

Laughing now. I am sitting here eating out of a can of alpa-getti that I opened with a dog tag can opener. I didn't heat it up and I'm eating it with a white plastic spoon. My wallet is empty, it's all in the bank.

I'll always remember my roots...

Hey Mayor. Do you know the right tag for this type of psychosis?
