Discretion

OK maybe I'm sounding a little paranoid but a creepy thought just occurred to me. happened after one of our noted posters gave me a tip (a good one by the way) on casinos with good rules.

Here's what I'm thinking. MAYBE these tips about casinos with good games had best go in private messages to posters who've been here a little while.

Now granted by my own definition that wouldn't even include me. Never-the-less the concept is sound: If WE know the good places to play so do the club owners and dealers who peruse this site.

Not saying that they're smart enough to do that, but there really isn't anything to stop them.

And I'm not being overly suspicious. However I truly believe that the paranoids are out to get me....

As casino management sets the rules,I'm fairly sure they are already aware of them.
Now if you were to discover a casino where the dealers are consistantly making the wrong payouts,or flashing their hole-cards,thats fodder for PMs.

Interesting thought...

About 6 months ago Showboat AC had one of the best games on the Boardwalk, cutting off only 1 deck in their 6 and 8 deck games. Several months ago, they became the worst game in town with all H17 and poor pen.

What prompted the change? I don't know.

It still amazes me how proactive the casinos are against counters when they are probably losing more in the long run by dealing less hands (more frequent shuffles, NME delaying entry into the game, etc.) to the 99+% non-APs out there.

What I can't figure out at all is this trend to less spots on the table. My last trip out west,there were tables with 5 spots.
Any idea how less spots could possibly help the casinos?

On SD games it keeps the pen from being deep with a full table and hurts "depth charging" players. On shoes it is just plain stupid. It requires 4 dealers to deal 20 spots when 3 could deal 21 spots on normal 7 spot tables thus increasing the casinos payroll expenses. Not to mention more floor space wasted the could be slots and more pitbosses to pay as well. I can understand it in a high limit room but not on the main floors.

the change happened because casinos are getting shittier; from what i have read, they were much better 15 years ago in every way.. and yes, its really sad, and true, that casinos lose money and time on thwarting card counters.. most do anyways; im sure there is one casino here or there that by word of mouth is insanely good and gets pounded by lots counters, like promotions, but other than that.. i wonder how many non counters get booted because they are either winning a lot, or the casino is wrong about them counting

i have a feeling that APs running a casino could make a lot more money, but on the flip, there must be things we dont know, because there is no way casinos are actually this dumb in maximizing profit; left and right we see casinos doing things that hurt both them, and us, and it makes no sense
