Hollywood: You may find this interesting

[Hollywood]

I was in an AC casino today.
While there I had lunch with my host. Now you must understand that if you have a host, he or she could not care less if you are counting cards. But, in this case she told me a very interesting story.
Her boss called her in to tell her that one of her better players is no longer welcome in her hotel ever again.
In her clients defense, she explained that in his last 2 sessions, he lost over $100,000.00. They told her they could not care less. He is in the Griffen book and is no longer allowed here.
I asked her, don't they care that he lost so much money. Answer "absolutly not, they are concerned
by the long term damage.
So to all my fellow counters, it's like the Don has been telling us for years. They don't care if you are losing or not, they will put your ass right in the street. And this one came right from the horses mouth.
Now i'm not telling anyone anything they don't know, but in light of the fact that this happened so recently, I thought I would share it.
Sometimes, some of us get complacent. Trust me, they are watching very carefully.

...why she chose to mention this charming story to me.

Interesting story indeed, and I'm glad you told it, however, I'd be concerned that giving too many details may expose you.

Goodluck

1) If you're poor enough to choose counting as a profession, $100k represents long term losses, not short term, IMVHO.
2) If the guy is a cheat, I sincerely doubt he could lose $100k without a lot of effort.

Probability is high this fellow is a loser, and the casino is shooing themselves in the foot big time by barring him. Griffin is selling the casinos a bill of goods. I wonder what percentage of mugs in the book really present any kind of threat.

There is a relationship, in and outside the casino.

> Thank you for your concern. However, I changed many of the details around. I was aware of what you were saying.

2 very fair points by you. I was only telling the story the way it was told to me. And the person who told it to me is extremly reputable.

... at one of the strip casinos was upset that I had suffered four straight losing sessions. He introduced me to a friend of his who was about to sit down to play BJ. A few minutes later, he pulled me aside and said, "That guy is a card counter; when he sits down, go to the table and just mimic his bets, and you'll probably get well." I was stunned and very pleased to learn: 1) that he really wanted the players he likes to win; 2) that he obviously didn't suspect my counting skills; and 3) that he liked me enough to try to help me out.
