Effective 8/1/2018 Card Counters Can't be Kicked Out of Louisiana Casinos

[Tarzan]

This has been evaluated 18 different ways, from all angles. It's absolutely stupid for casinos to bar counters, use countermeasures, etc., as it results in a greater loss in the overall, the big picture for them. On the whole, they are making bank on card counters, since most are underfinanced, undertrained, and/or lack the ability to walk the fine line required to be a successful AP in the long haul. If you don't believe me, simply read enough comments in gambling and blackjack related forums to understand the mentality of the general public. For those few counters that are taking a steady dollar that is relatively meaningless for the casino, there are quite a few more counters at the bottom of the bell curve losing double that. There are many aspects of game protection that are critical but counters are not on this list. I recall James Grosjean bringing up the point on how it appears to not even be about greed, and more about "the principle of the thing". I think he worded it along the lines of the hustlers being pissed off about being hustled, something like that. They are much like an insurance company that prides itself in not paying claims and is willing to pay out $10,000 in attorneys fees to avoid paying a $1000 claim, to show they are an arrogant dickhead and to prove a pointless point, with this being their objective over any concerns about their bottom line. If I owned a casino, not only would it be player-friendly/counter-friendly, but I'd also be passing out some matchplays to anyone wearing their "Blackjack Army" t-shirt and ball cap, knowing I'm ultimately going to rake them through the coals for all it's worth!Hahaha
