Post your snappy retorts to when the PC asks if you are counting.

My personal favorite is to hit a soft 21. Actions speak louder than werds. "Oh no! Hey Mom, I just hit 21!"

**BigJer** · 10-13-2017, 05:16 AM

How about "It takes one to know one. Huh huh huh. What's the count anyways?"

**21forme** · 10-13-2017, 06:42 AM

Yes, I always count my own cards. I never trust the dealer adding them up.

No, If I knew how to count, I'd be rich and pay someone else to do it for me.

"Of course i'm counting. Just like everyone else at the table. Are you counting as well?" asking my fellow player in a funny way...

**ZenMaster_Flash** · 10-13-2017, 04:28 PM

ferenc11,

I do not think that would be wise, at least not in North America.

**scroogemcduck** · 10-13-2017, 06:09 PM

Does this actually happen? I've been backed off for counting at least a dozen times, but never been asked whether I was a counter. I guess the places I played in nevada and socal aren't that retarded.

I've been asked if I'm counting many times. They're almost always joking. I've been asked in Vegas too.

Mr.Zen, Of course i know that it would not be smart idea making a statement like that. But a little bit of reminder for you: You are pink chipping (at least) and i am red chipping. HUGE difference! So every now and then i may allow myself a comment like that. So far I've never been taken seriously...yet.

saying that. In colloquial idiomatic English, that means you can
not benefit from such an ill-advised action, irrespective of stakes.

Oh my bad Mr.Zen! I meant purple chipping. (500 dollar denomination right?!)
You might be right, but sometimes i do have stupid jokes at the table, so seeing me play would definitely convince you that I'm like Jim Carrey. You wouldn't consider me as a threat.

I don't know... I guess everyone has his or her own acting style.

Certain casinos show the burn card after a shuffle and whenever a dealer taps in. There was a pit boss, grumpy old man, who used to see the burn card and yell out the count. He didn't just shout it out. He would get in the face of whomever he thought was counting and let it rip. "Plus one" "Minus one". He could be heard clear across the room. Pretty funny until it happened to you.

He's got to be retired by now.

When I was first getting started I got spooked by a dealer who was showing off some counting knowledge. I thought it was heat but it was just a dealer killing time.
