    I had same feeling when I 1st read Blckman post

    Thanks so much for the reply Marlene. I have never been backed off at Barona. In fact, I was just there in October 2016 and December 2016. However, I am in the Los Angeles area and frequent San Manuel the most because of its' proximity to me. I do play on the days when Barona does the freeplay multipliers and on some of those days I do well. On others I draw pretty even. I can't speak for anyone else as a blackjack player, but only for myself.

    At some point, for your own game, you have to realize when too much is indeed too much. To be spreading to 2x1000 in Biloxi is just foolish. There's no amount of cover or act that could reliably cover that action, and the likely spread that went with it.

    Not trying to hate on your game Blue, I'm just having a hard time trying to understand "why" someone would ever bet that much.

    Extoter175, just because you're paying attention to my post count of two and my join date of 2.5 years ago, it's okay for you to have an opinion. I am nowhere near that profession. Totally not interested in that line of business as well. Just to clarify and let you know where I am coming from. Just because I don't post here, I do read all the comments on a weekly basis and enjoy everyone's comments. Whether we agree or not agree.

    Its not so much an opinion, rather than a drawn down conclusion. Guy who nobody knows comes in here and posts his opinion that Casino B and Casino C are great, when in all actuality the forum consensus is that they are the worst in the industry. Seems like you're trying to promote them, against the common wisdom of the forum.

    Listen, it's not my problem if you or anyone else thinks its a drawn conclusion. Again, everyone is entitled to their opinion. You don't know me and I don't know you. I am not trying to promote any casino at all. PM me Exoter175. Let's talk.

    I have zero intention to talk to you if you think Barona and El Cortez are even "advisable" places to go.

    If someone with no posts came in here and said "Barona is the best place to count ever, so is El Cortez!!!" and I didn't say something about that, someone else would have, Norm. You and I both know that, and you and I both know those two locations are nothing but traps for card counters.

    I'd appreciate if you'd get off my back when I'm trying to protect forum member from bad advice, and even worse situations.

    Even if this guy isn't whom he sounded like in that post, doesn't mean there can't be a lesson taken from it in being cautious of others' advice on a public forum where a casino employee could certainly gather information and draw us in to a very tangled web.

    Attack the message, not the messenger. You can disagree with people. You cannot suggest they are surv. employees without solid evidence.

    I attacked the message, Norm. Then I further when to arouse the suspicions of someone with no posting history and a long history of lurking, which is exactly what a casino employee would be likely to do.

    The "information" provided within that message, did not hold "true" to the forum beliefs on either casino. Which was suspect, and a huge "red flag".

    You also attacked the message and the messenger. People are allowed to be wrong.

    Are you aware of what forum you're on?

    No one is allowed to be wrong here, even you yourself have created a sub-forum for such nonsense. Which is exactly where that guys' post belongs, in that subforum.

    Instead, you've come here to chastise me for protecting forum members.
