BE careful!
Maybe I am just paranoid but putting your e-mail out is not good especially if the casinos are spying. I frimly believe that they will do anything to collect info on us. So if you have an e-mail think about your profile info and what you have put in it. I think what we need is a way to start an inner circle of counters much like the green chip community which if you are a serious counter you should belong to any way. I have made many inroads in meeting other professionals and like anything else you have to circulate and build up trust. I advised/suggested to the managers of this sight about a way to bring trusted advocates into the fold as you are suggesting. In time I guess. Thanks for the offer and I wish I could be in vegas too! Remember to let us know about your trip. LTC

Re: BE careful!
Agree. But have no other easy way to accomplish same goals. Besides, have only gave my e-mail address to one casino, and if they wish to spend the $ to ferret me out, let them! Besides, if they ask me my name, I simply say, "Dr. Eliott Jacobsen" (?sp?)...Psychologist. I doubt my "red/green" action will change any propertiies' quarterly financials.
Yes, my "Profile" on this site narrows me down to a couple hundred people, but what the "heh"! Sounding Canadian again!
LTC, you must realize that living in the Midwest, as an AP/CC, I live in an "intellectual void". I have to put up with the weekly reports of a secretary whose husband is a "Professional Slot Player"...$30,000./year profit for the last 3 years. His system? Spending 8-10 hours watching literally a hundred others play the machines, then "moving in on those that are overdue". I have tried to convince her that this is a fluke, that HE is JUST LUCKY! Unfortunately, the $30,000. per year in their coffers refutes my argument. Or the Nurse, who knows my hobby, stating that: "Big deal, you can play at a 6% advantage, 12% of the time...you are still going to lose long-term."
I wish said Nurse would tell me where I can get these rules!
Anyhow, LTC, if your schedule changes, hope you can join me/us in LV!

Re: anyone going to Vegas
Also heading to Vegas in 2 weeks! I can be reached at [email protected] prior to the trip. I have thought about getting CBJN, but I am concerned that using a credit card to buy it would identify me and that info could be used to indentify me at the BJ table. Should I be worried about this? Is it better to show up in person and buy it? I know that it is run by Standford Wong, but after hearing so many stories and about paranoia with the internet, I am concerned. I am not sure what to do? Thanks for the help in advance.

Re: anyone going to Vegas
Take a look at recent posts and figure where you think the best game is. Go and check them out yourself. They will often tell you that casino X DD is only giving 50% pene and you just happen by and see a young asian dealer firing cards to some very happy low limit players down into to 75% range.
I would think that NO ONE will tell you were the ultimate game in town is no matter what you buy or how much you pay for it. There's nothing like finding your own deer man. Do a little tracking. Vegas is a rather small place, esp downtown. You know what you are looking for. Penetration, and good rules.

Re: rob
I was going to rent a condo for a month a few years back for less than it cost to live up here. But that was when I was young and foolish, longing for a 1-2% advantage. ;> Now I'm 40 and foolish....

Re: anyone going to Vegas
I would think that using a Credit Card to buy CBJN at bj21 would be reasonably safe. I had thought about actually visiting their store when I am in LV, but I wonder if the survelience van will be parked down the street, taking down my picture and car license #?
Good Cards Count! And Good Credit Cards.

Re: anyone going to Vegas
Paranoia....I have from a good source and mentor that using a credit card to order any thing from BJ21.com is 99.9999% secure. Nothing is perfect. If there was a security problem at BJ21 the word would be out in minutes upon discovery. AP's are notorious gossips and communicators. Oh and to shed some light on the AP community versus the casino survelliance/spy ring. They the casinos have better things to do instead of watching red chippers and sorry to say green chippers win or lose. If you are betting Black or better; ya better watch out! So go to vegas and have a great time. Take some money away from the casino. ce la vie, ce la guerre, ce l'amor.

Re: Recon trip for new counter
I'm going next week for reasons unrelated to advantage play. I will have a day and a half of R&R time with my girl and would like to scope out some good places that are comfortable to play for a learning counter. At this point, I do not yet have the BR or the skilz to lay down action, but I would like to do some recon. What would you folks suggest? Thanks!
