Here is one, "no thanks your points suck for table game players" or "no thanks I'm betting lower than usual and I don't want to screw up my average daily theoretical" :-)
Reminds me of a buddy of mine who had a surefire system. All you have to do is double your bet if you lose. If you lose again, double you bet again. "You hardly ever lose more than three times in a row. You can't lose. Just don't go more than three times. Start over if you lose three in a row. I have never lost with this system."
This was my first visit to Reno and my first attempt at card counting. Needless to say, no matter what I said, or what logic I used, he would not believe me when I told him his system would not work. According to him, it would be the first time if he lost. I think it was his first time, and he did lose-- big time. I have a saying learned from the Jesuits-- "You don't have to jump in the lake to know you're going to get wet." But some people only learn the hard way.

One more thing to add. If you got a card when you were a newbie, lying about not having a card won't work. I saw a pit boss reviewing all the DMV pictures on his computer screen when he thought someone was counting. He is patient, checking all the pictures one by one in the age group, until he got a match eventually. It would be even quicker if the casino has good software to do this job. So AP should avoid being rated from the beginning. Casinos scan the DMV pictures into computer database when they made you a card.Originally Posted by Mickey
Give them your room key. If you're clever, punch a hole in it and put a ploppy-lanyard on it. When he tells you that isn't the right card, insist it is your players card and you'd been using it while playing your favorite slot, Kitty Glitter. Be sure to have about 20 slot tickets each worth $0.01 to $3.47 each when you show up to the table. Trying to buy in with them might be worth a shot (come on, that WOULD be funny).

That one, while being the absolute best possible response anyone could make, could catch you a little flack for knowing what a "daily theoretical" or "theo" even is.
I like that one a lot.
Well, okay. Technically speaking, he is absolutely correct. If you have a big enough bankroll and absolutely no table limit (which we know will never be the case) you 'could' never lose at the game. And that's essentially why they raised table mins and added table maxes.Reminds me of a buddy of mine who had a surefire system. All you have to do is double your bet if you lose.

I said that once, right in front of the most "butch" looking female PB I've ever seen, and when she glared at me angrily, I said "I'm sorry, I apologize if I offended you. That's my friend Jack talking, we go way back". And then she smiled at me as a Wolf would to a suckling pig.Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiccccccceeeee!I'm a big fan of witty responses too as I am heavily in favor of getting the pit to like you.
Once, I was making an index play where I took a hit against basic strategy. The dealer said (in a friendly way) "you shouldn't have hit that." I said sarcastically but in a fun way "yeah yeah, that's what she said." The table had a good laugh.
I've WATCHED that happen, almost exactly as you described, have you actually done this before? If so I think we've met, were you wearing a "gilligans island" hat at the time?
