He told me that he had been playing for years at a casino
that permitted him to bet every spot on the table without
even requiring
higher minimums. He said that he had been
playing spreading aggressively for several years but was
having trouble winning that was near his e.v. He was using
the Red
Seven should have amazing results. So he spread
from $25 to all seven (7) spots at $500 each. His spread was
from $25 to $500 X 7 = $3,500 (140 to 1)

He had told me that there was NO heat. That paved the way for
me to say: "There's NO heat. Until there IS!"

I have said that dozens of times to dozens of my students.

Last year this casino made huge changes and now they are a
SweatBox. This was all
because a Card Counter (from Canada)
with deep pockets completely burned out the game. He was
there for a week at a time. He was almost as aggressive as my
guy was. The important difference is that he was, (in behavior,
appearance, and style), a stereotype Card Counter. The trouble
was that he was playing on all 3 shifts, way too many hours,
winning far too much money, with hardly a toke!

My guy was incapable of getting the greedy bastard to "instantly
cease and desist" from "burning out" a really nice "Honey Pot".


What's your point?
I note your commentary regarding a stereotypical Canadian card counter, with deep pockets, crushing some honeypot, somewhere within the bowels of the USA.

I further note, with disdain, that my General locale was raped and pillaged by Yankee stereotypical card counters with deep pockets within the glorious boundaries of The Dominion of Canada.

Perhaps we should build a wall between our great nations. They work - the Chinese built a wall 4000 years ago, and they still don't have any Mexicans. We can build one, and keep out greedy Yankee card counters.

Greed is universal.
