    fxtrader: Casey Computer

    Hello everyone!

    I noticed that the maker of the casey computer lists this site in his links and I was wondering if anyone had any reports on it?

    I live in Canada and do not think the legality of it is an issue but I would love to hear from anyone who actually uses it.

    I would go to the trouble of learning how to count but they cut the shoes midway up here and I was under the impression that would render counts useless.

    All comments appreciated.

    Parker: Must be that time


    This question seems to pop up a couple of times a year.

    Anyone can link to our site. I'm rather surprised that the Casey scammers would, since I've consistently called it a scam and a waste of money. Below is a link to a 2002 post I made on this subject.

    I think you would find that it is illegal to use in Canadian casinos. It is illegal almost everywhere, despite the seller's claims to the contrary. I do know a few people who used one over 20 years ago, when it was legal.

    Such a cut would also render casey useless. It was effective on the deeply dealt single deck games that were commonplace 20 years ago. It would be relatively ineffective in today's games, especially those with poor penetration.

    The device is a huge ripoff. You are paying thousands of dollars for early 80's computer technology. Even the least expensive Palm Pilot has several times the computing power.

    One of the people I mentioned above tells about a time when the device shorted out, burning him and nearly setting his clothing on fire.

    In addition to the link below, you can also read a bit about these antiques at this website:

    As Ken Uston himself once noted: "You might as well just rob the cashier's cage. The penalty is the same if you get caught, and you won't need as big a bankroll."

    I agree with Parker. Don't waste your money. I trained quite a few people with the casey computer and the Thor (shuffle tracking) computer. They were easy for me to train people because as a musician, I had independence of hands and feet. I could walk with the computer and not abort. I don't know who it was that told the story about his pants catching on fire, but I know the real person it happened to. It was in Atlantic City and he was trying to evade security. He got outside and ran to the boardwalk a when it happened. He ran down the beach and jumped in the ocean. His initials are JB.
    The computer that was on TV featuring Keith Taft was archaic. The problem with Taft's hardware was that the foot switches were not made of good material. That was remedied by someone else.
    Taft's program for the computer was copied/stolen.
