Best way to get under the radar is to present as a ploppy. 6-5 games afford good cover for an AP.Originally Posted by cc12b
Just think of the general stupidity of so much of the public.
Then take the demographic that willing throws their money away in the casino, knowing the odds are against them (maybe they don't even realize this???) not even taking an hour to learn basic strategy, for the years they spend donating their welfare cheques to the casinos at the tables.
This really comes as no suprise.
Agreed! This is one of the reasons I started playing single deck 6:5. If you go to a caisno and camp out at their DD game they will pick you off eventually. If you go back and forth between 6:5 single and 3:2 DD, you look more like a ploppy. I’ve found this is great cover. Most casinos don’t think APs play much 6:5. I’ve never been picked off at a casino where I play 6:5, even when I play a lot of DD with a big spread at the same casino.
You're right. The side bet at my local casino has a house edge of 10%, and the majority of ploppies still play it. I’ve had as many as 3 ploppies play on mine. Since I don’t play it, the locals think my spot hits it more than theirs. They always go bananas if someone hits it and they aren’t playing it.
They love the side bet, just because it pays a bunch if they hit it. It’s kind of like playing slots while they're playing bj. If we can’t get the ploppies to stop playing the side bet, how are we ever going to get them to stop playing 6:5?
Do you expected him to tell the truth if he has known the right answer? How about the H E on slots and many other carnival games like Mississippi stud, UTH, 3cards poker to name a few. I wish G man's noble fight have good result but I doubt casinos would change that as long as majority of casino goers keep playing it. This subject has many people addressed on many websites and medias, included this one, since 6/5 just surfaced. At mean time if someone find out the way to beat it then best wishes to him/her.
Hey cc12b I was the one taking to the pit critter. We were just having a causal conversation about several things. He was standing alone not doing anything and I was standing around also not doing much so I struck up a conversation with him. It wasn’t any intense discussion on this matter. I was asking it more as a rhetorical question. I didn’t expect him to have the answer. I just asked him if it made any sense why someone would play on a 6:5 table while a 3:2 table was close by. He agreed it made no sense to him. We had a good conversation about several things, even national politics and football. It’s always good to stay in the good graces of pit critters.

I guess you do in fact like being around the casino environment. First, you spend an hour watching ploppies playing 6/5 blackjack. Then you decide to strike up a conversation with a pit critter for who knows how long talking first about 6/5 blackjack, national politics, and last but not least football. I am glad you are all business and have your priorities straight.
You’re wrong. I did bring that up with him. Since it’s a casino that is quite a ways from my house that I don’t frequent much I touched on that topic too. We actually debated which was a better way for them to increase profits? Should they move the cut card further back or move all their tables to 6:5? Both accomplish the same purpose...they extract money from poppies faster.
I told him the two aren’t mutually exclusive. They could really increase profits by moving the cut card further back and also take all their tables to 6:5 at same time. He liked that idea, but I don’t think he’s at any level to make that kind of decision. I told him in jest I was just there to help his casino make more money. Lol
This does brings up another good point. If APs are so concerned about casinos making more money, why are they for moving the cut card further back but not for 6:5?
