    Stumbled across these amazing blackjack pictures












    The pictures belong to a guy who was posting a trip report on another forum and admitting to counting and use cover plays.
    Not sure how he is able to get away with playing that big for that long (first trip report was in early 2014, most recent this past summer in 2015).
    Especially at the supposedly sweaty Cosmo.

    Are you speaking of the guy that used to post on Wizard's site that uses speed count? If so he is allowed to play because his count is so weak that he likely isn't playing a winning game. Results from most of his trip reports seemed to bear this out.

    Before anyone calls me out on this, YES, this is 'the simplicity guy' saying a count is too simple and too weak (not to mention associated Frank S.)

    The forum is 2+2.

    Not familiar with the guy you're referring to.

    The guy says he uses Hi-Lo in one of his threads.

    One of the trip reports:

    You can go to his profile and see his other threads to view other trip reports.

    Ok. There was a high roller type guy on wizard's site that recently stopped posting that used to make similar posts, complete with pictures. His favorite spots were Cosmo and Aria, when in Vegas that's why I asked.

    edit: In reading through the first few pages, there is a striking posting similarity, right down to airport pictures, but whatever. maybe it's a high roller, M.O.

    Well posting pictures like this the guy shouldn't be hard for Cosmo staff to ID if they felt the desire to do so.

    His two favorite places were golden nugget and aria.

    Plus, I think his trip bankroll was in the $5000-$10000 range.

    So it probably isn't him.

    He said he used a lot of cover plays like splitting more than he should, always hits 16 (I assume he doesn't surrender), and almost never takes insurance. He also said he flat bet a few shoes for fun. I am certain that his play was closely evaluated by Jeff Murphy and Co. and it was determined that he is not a winning player. I would have to agree with that assessment.

    Sorry - I don't buy it. Yes, they're Cosmo chips on a blackjack table and a beautifully laid out spread of an Ace-re-split dream. Looks too staged.....

    How many times does the Cosmo let you split aces?

    "    He said he always hits 16 ..."

    Quelle bizarre !

    If he wants cover play he SHOULD stand on ALL 16's vs. 10
    HITTING ALL 16's, [with dealer stiffs] is phenomenally costly.
    You'll do we'll re: BJ braggarts to ignore preposterous statements.
