JLP: Something unusual happened

[JLP]

Something unusual happened to me while playing at around 3am in Montego Bay casino in Wendover, Nevada.

I?m a novice player that is just starting out. I mostly go to Wendover, NV 3 times per month. I use A -1, 4 +1 and 5 +1 method of counting. I start at +4 and at table minimum of $3. at +6 I go to $6. and at +7> I go to $10.

I hope most of you professionals don?t laugh at me, but I enjoy BJ and am unusually successful at this very basic counting system; I follow BS religiously while playing. While using this very basic counting system, I notice while playing that when my count goes above +8, that others counters in the table bets go up also. Now, I don?t know what system they use. In the Sims I run, when the count A45 gets to +7> , K-O also triggers a high positive count.

Anyway, back to my story. This morning I was at the only $3. table at Montigo Bay at around 3am. The place is under construction and there were very few people in the casino. At the table there was only myself and my girlfriend.

We were there for about 3 hours. In those 3 hours each time the count was at +6 or above I was betting according to my betting schedule and I was winning 80% to 90% of all the hands. I even split 3 3s at +9 count with $30 dollars out against the dealers 6 up card and the dealer busted. At this time the dealer ( older female) says to me, ??you knew exactly when to put out the extra money??. My response was that I was just lucky. Shortly after that, she was relieved and I watched her walk past the PB in the other side of the room and leaned over to say something to him and just continued walking. He then came right up to my table and just stood there watching the table. I became very nervous and just cashed up my winnings and left.

The reason this was strange is because I posed no danger to the casinos vaults betting a spread from $3 to $10. Is this the norm behavior of some greedy casinos?

Here's some food for thought

1. If the casino was really that empty - what's a really bored pit boss to do? He might as well come over and watch you play.

2. If he's paying attention to you any way, keep bugging him till he goes away: Ask how many points you have on your frequent player card, ask for advice on playing a hand, tell him he's bringing you luck and could he stand closer, tell him about your last operation or last visit to the dentist, ask him to get you a free room,

3. Number 1: Don't get nervous and Don't run away. That is SURE to get you attention. Try to "random" bet or bet like a ploppy.

After he stands there a little bit, and after you continue to win a little bit, tip the dealer, and then openly try to tip him. Not play for him but grab a chip and make a big deal about his help while waving his tip around.

He'll jet.

Here's another one: Flirt with him. Ask him out on a date. Put on a "gay" act and hit on the pit boss. Hint - Try to find out if he's married first. You don't want him to take you up on it!
