    Interesting link...the "keynote" allegedly took AC for $15M? Doubtful. If he's got that kinda grip why he giving a lecture that pays him a pittance? Something to sell. It kills me that casinos worry about us when I see mistaken payouts nearly everyday. Love the game, love the life, hate the BS. The "system" the keynote is peddling will swindle the casinos for more than most of us will take in a lifetime.

    That is Don Johnson and it is a fact that he won 15.1 million from 3 AC casinos over a period of time in 2011. My understanding is he is a whale and the casinos were giving him generous loss rebates to get him to play:

    Casinos have this wrong in so many ways. Pen is too low so they shuffle too often, shuffles are way too complicated and take too long, dealers are generally slow and make so many mistakes - they just can't be making any money out of the ploppies! I've played in so many casinos where the shuffle is so complex that they kill most advanced techniques in the first pass (after seemingly infinite strips, plugs and riffles!) but continue for another pass or two while everyone sits there, bored...then regularly overpay blackjacks during play!

    It's a shame because they could make more juice out of the ploppies and we could make more juice out of them...and then everyone would be happy!

    Casinos are not happy until they have it all. They don't understand your analysis, which shows how they could actually have more by not trying to have it all.

    Of course the casino staff take it personally .They will reduce pen just to thwart CC ,even if it means less profits as a results.If they are allow to choose between backoff and beat up counters, they will love to do it. Just my opinions.All the dealers care is talking about tip .After they take all ,they want all the plops to bring back more $$$ to lose. THeir wallet vs morals? $$$ trump all .!!! I had play with a player for quite a while { was a nice person} a year later , i did not see the person, later in an old news clip saw the person pic. Addicted gambler kill oneself.Sad !! the person offer me drink and all ,The person was quite pleasant as an individual even after losing ,didn't show much anger toward anybody.I have heard them talk numerous times about plops. it was disgusting ,{_the jokes}
