doubledown: $1300 to $660,000 ?

[doubledown]

What are the chances of turning $1300 into 660,000 thousand dollars playing blackjack in a matter of 4 hours? Well it did happen to a person I now about a month ago. He is a basic player not a counter. It happen at the MGM in Detroit, Mi. Once he had built up his chips to over $5000 he was playing for $5000 a hand. He was playing 2 hands. After a while they asked him if he wanted the table limits raised to $10,000. He had security all around watching him plus the pit bosses and cameras. On one hand he won $70,000 alone. Splits plus 3 dd in the split. At one time he had built his chips up to over $800,000. He said he was going for a million. Casino also after it was done comped him a brand new VET. He tipped the dealers $28,000. This is a true story. For all of you from the Detroit area go into the MGM and ask any pit boss or dealer in the high limit area and you can see for yourself. I see this person who won the money everyday at work. He is still working not retired.

I didn't see it but played at Motor City on Saturday with one of the dealers involved.

Similar stories I hear about every 4-6 month in my local casino. It happens one week ago or sometimes the evening of the last day. Very seldom
it was happening a few hours ago, before I was arriving.

What type of game was he playing? Single deck, DD...? Also, was he playing by himself or with other players at the table?

Great that means that I'M probably going to be the guy to turn 660K to 1.3K. Make sure to tell me which seat and table so I don't sit there because of course that chair has to revert to the mean...

He was playing by himself 2 hands. 6 deck shoe game. I talked to one of the dealers last night and he told me out of 2 shoes he only lost 3 hands.
