Bettie: Check out the view from the Dark Side on Don's Domain

[Bettie]

Need a reason to join Don?s Domain? Looking for a reason to justify spending a few red chips on an internet subscription? Check out these snippets gleaned from various posts made on our revamped surveillance page, now called ?The Other Side? and hosted by our friend ?Shift Manager.?

Having Shift Manager on the boards offers us insight into the way casinos think. For instance:

?You need to know that casinos are not training the Floor and Pit Mgrs. as they did years ago. Most do not even know basic strategy, game protection is not at the top of the training lists. Keeping the customers happy is more important. They somehow think they can't have both, that is why the change in rules, penetration and 6 to 5 have come about. The Casinos think if they take away the good penetration and change the payouts, the floor can fraternize more with the customers, the Floor won't have to pay attention to games, Advantage Players won't play and their [the casinos?] hold goes up.?

?They keep the more knowledgeable Floor in their most vulnerable spots; hand held games.?

Shift Manager has also been busy answering specific questions asked by our members that can help them camouflage their game. Such as:

?Basically: 1-4 units the floor will start paying attention to you, 1-8 the floor will most likely notify the Pit mgr., more than 1-8 the Pit will notify surveillance.?

?Usually I don't watch nickel players unless they are what I call getting greedy, 5 to 100, spreading to 2 or 3 hands.?

Information such as this is why Don?s Domain is well worth the price of admission. Just $20/3 months or $60/year, you get access to years of archives, weekly chats with other members and special guests, some of the best minds in blackjack today, and insider information that can?t be beat! To order, click below or on the ?Pricing & Ordering? link in the left-hand frame.

Have a great weekend everyone!
