Do you put "clump-free certified" stickers for the ASMs?Originally Posted by BJGenius007
Welcome to the club. Three thinks I’m either a casino consultant, casino management or a dealer. Some think I’m a sock. Btw, it took me a while to even understand what this meant. I’m new to forums.
Be careful. If you say anything positive about casinos or about enjoying the casino experience, along with liking ploppies and casino staff, you will be attacked. There is a belief on this forum you have to hate casinos to be a true AP. Most (not all) don’t understand casinos are a busisness and their primary purpose is to return as much money as possible to their shareholders...it’s not to support negative EV customers (APs).
Cc12b, overall I agree with you, but it depends on how good your act is and how obvious you are with your spread. When I’m playing with an obvious counter, I either leave the table or stay and flat bet to watch him. I’ve learned quite a bit from some of these obvious younger counters. I’ve learned what some of my local casinos will tolerate and what not to do as a counter. This weekend I played with a young counter who I had never seen before. He was playing on a DD game spreading from $25 to $700 (no this isn’t his exact spread). He only played for an hour and left after he started getting some intense heat (two pit critters staring at his play).
The night I was playing with the prof, we were not very obvious. He also had his wife with him who played about 1 out of 3 DD shoes. She acted like she didn’t have a clue and he coached her on what to do. As I’m sure most know, a counter doesn’t look as obvious when they have a women sitting next to him. Not that it matters, but she was very attractive and much younger than him. During our play, they explained how they met, which was an interesting story in its own right.
He would many times start a shoe with $50, then go down to $10 if the count was negative. When it went positive he’d spread to two hands with $150. Even though we didn’t have a system between us, we had some unwritten rules I felt both of us understood. When I spread to two hands, he didn’t and visa versa. Trust me (I put this in for all the APs that go blastic every time I use these words), our play looked eratic but we both knew what we were doing.
Neither one of us were there to plunder the casino like I see with these young counters. We were there for a good time, but we still wanted to win some extra money. We both left up a couple $100 at 2 AM and never had the pit critters come by to watch us other than to chit chat. It was a fun evening and I met an interesting fellow counter and latter on bought his books to learn more about him.
