    Psychological Treatment of Casino

    I have wondered this and cannot come to a consensus. Should we treat them as archenemies? enemies? Irritants? Hurdles? Business partners? Friends? Anyone pondered over this too?

    A casino is something you extract money from in the most efficient way possible.

    You have no emotional relationship to a casino. It is not a person.

    No. The staff have said something rude like” if you have it we will give you no need to ask”. The staff pit boss supervisor knows it’s either they get money or us. So psychologically how should we treat them

    Your mind should be focused on extracting money from casinos efficiently. Any time you think about anything else it wastes mental energy and costs you money.

    You should not have any kind of emotional response to a casino. If you get angry because you get thrown out of your hotel room that will compromise the effectiveness of your decisions as an AP which can only hurt your bankroll.

    It is not how you treat them; it is how they treat you. You lose, they back you off. They got their money for sure. But if you win, they treat you as a friend. They want you to keep playing so they get their money back. They know the odds.

    Generally speaking, you'll get more hours in if you're kind and have a positive attitude because it makes people like you. If the employees like you, they're less likely to scream "checks play" like you're robbing a bank, call surveillance to skill check you, back you off, etc. If the players like you, they're less likely to holler about you adding hands, doubling down on soft 19, hitting a 12 and "taking the bust card" etc.

    What odds are those? Odds in the casinos' favor against card counters? Not sure what you're implying here.
