@@xMarpx don't worry, everyone; Lieutenant Smartass is on the scene.

Exactly

I worked as a dealer for a few months. I thought it was going to be glamorous but it was just depressing. Taking money off people that really can't afford it day in, day out. Watching the desperation...

@@marcwilliams9824 that's why I'll never go to a casino, it sounds very depressing indeed. But playing a casual game with friends could be nice

We play Texas hold em with the family for fun. No money just good ol competition. It's fun!

Still don’t understand, but he makes it entertaining

I think it would be pretty cool to be a dealer in a casino. Unfortunately, I’m not clever that way. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

I can see the image of him teaching his nephew how to catch cheaters when it comes to playing cards, definitely a cool uncle.

Why does he wear auntie's jewellery though?

@@canterlevi I have been a dealer before it's quite fun. You live off of tips. You don't have to be clever to deal

@@snipelite94 cause he’s so self-assured doing what he does that he has no need to be concerned about our opinion at all

I wanted to like your comment, but it was 333 likes. Too lucky for me

And sounds EXACTLY like one too.

but unlike most, he IS one!

What about Phil Ivey?

@@00bean00 phil never cheated anyone. Taking advantage of bad cards isn't cheating.

I think most people forget that actors most of the time study what they act, especially old movies, edward norton studied hard for “Rounders”

He also has a solid gold chain

Agreed.

%stg2hxg%q

His moves were butter! Very impressive, I wish we would've seen the marked cards, the actual marks I mean. Either way, guys moves are so friggin smooth.

@@dsandoval9396 a

Love the replica pfp

He's the type of guy you want to have drinks with and just listen to his amazing stories.

@@jackdareviewer8823

@@MrFancyGamer I second this, opn is amazing

He reminds me of my HS Algebra teacher, super easy to understand and knowledgeable.

No he couldn’t, or he would have.

@@bobbyd9319 I know right. Luckily he has all his fingers, but I bet he got caught and beat up a lot, before becoming an asset. I think here and there he still goes in with her wife to have some fun. Remember, what they say in the casino: greed is what make them fall. This guy just goes in, plays with the dice, win 2 times in a row, moves away, no one will ever get suspicious nor they care. Nonetheless, I would never recommend trying anything like this because it is so emberassing and cheating will always be bad.

@@andraspalatinus145 you know who cheats the most, politicians and casinos. You should see what casino they do to normal folks who beat them. Have you seen the movie 21, yes things like that happen. By normal, I mean, not cheaters, but use their brains

@@bobbyd9319 I've always looked at a Casino as a house of risk, where I have to play by their rules... At the end of the day, we don't have to walk in there and play. Very unfortunate though that they can refuse players for being “too good to play”. Politicians though, well... Their cheating affects everyone.

this guy walks into any casino and he would be greeted by name and handed free drinks. No way is he sitting at a table.

Very, very fun book and I love it, but I do recommend looking up Jeff Ma (the real "Kevin Lewis") to learn what was and wasn't true in the book -- Mezrich is one of those guys who doesn't let the truth get in the way of a good story. This became more of an issue when he wrote "the Accidental Billionaires," which turned into The Social Network.

Smh my head. Another small RU-vidr trying to get subs by commenting on a bigger channel.

Deal with the Cheetah John Cena in a game with the cards.

Yeah, gambling experts are amazing ngl

This guy needs his own show.

Who can play this guy in a card game....lol

He also brought cards and his wife.

Now take in the fact that in the professional world of casino game protection there are guys who will make Sal look like a novice both in experience and technical ability. Not meant as a dig at Sal. Just trying to illuminate how deep the rabbit hole goes. Especially to the uninitiated

It’s such a dirt bag move to be a cheater in cards .

Both rely on card manipulation. Fascinating

He’s talking about a pinky toe and a ball peen hammer

@@Coram_D30 you're slow

can confirm, i was the dice

MF those casinos. they MF everyone else.

bruh straight up i love rounders and literally never noticed any of it

He studied for a long time to get those techniques down pat.

I only noticed he was bottom dealing, none of the other stuff...but i play a lot of poker...thank goodness i live near a casino..house games can be the worse when it comes to shuffling and dealing the cards

Lmao Chris Angel is as good of a magician as this guy is a card counter. TV Magic.

Check out the video Ricky Jay Plays Poker

@@00gyb00gy You should see Sal in person before you even think about making that comment. Though I would agree about the Chris Angel part.

I thought it was just me

If there's no money is involved, why not

Looks like he'd be fun to play with anyways. Even without cheating he could probably clean everyone out.

I’d buy in for $100 with full awareness he’s cheating just to see how it’s done

🤣

@@ts4gv only to discover you can't see any of it

ok but that's actually super true. Vegas casinos wouldn't be enormous hotels with a small mall in the bottom if you had a 50/50 chance of winning. They're here to make money, and the fact of the matter is that every game in there has a higher chance of taking money instead of giving it to you.

It's true. Casinos are the biggest scams in the world.

Or become a poker pro

"I really hate it when people see a comment with lots of likes and no replies and feel the need reply for that sole reason" - me at some point in that past, probably

@@arya6085 yeah and you just did it lmao

Ever won anything on the National? I had Many Clouds (1st) 15-1 E/W in 2015 and Santini (4th) 33-1 E/W this year.

b2... I wish I could agree with the word COMPLETELY. I still have a long way to go before I understand card cheating.

macforme you got this!!

In other words, if that grip is being used by someone who's NOT a professional dealer, keep your eyes open.

@@jasontodd2533 not everyone can break it down like you did. Some people can only see the surface.

Worked as a dealer for 8 years. It depends on the casino and whether the croupiers are taught to slide or pitch the cards. So yeah it varies

Merry Christmas, Sal! Just got done watching your video for the fourth or fifth time since it was posted. I always come back to your great presentation when I'm on a "pro in their field breaks down whatever" video bender. Your vid along with dialect coach Erik Singer and ancient-warfare expert Roel "you should be digging many ditches!" Konijnendijk, are always in the mix for repeat viewings. Cheers!

Do your friends invite you to card games much?

You’ve gotta do more videos on this !! Merry Christmas !!!

WOW! That was very well done, I actually LOVED the movie 21 . Your explanations and moves were absolutely flawless. I'm a penny pincher, I would love to go to the casinos however I would act like I'm gambling and just take pictures. Lol 😆

This was awesome!! Merry Christmas and happy new year1

They cheated. They got away with it.

He did mention how he met her here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I4V3K5mkww4.html

casinos only want games of chance so that the house can keep winning any game that introduces skill is something they are frightened of

Your comment made me just realize I been card counting since I was a kid and didn’t realize it

All casino games have odds that favour the casino. If you play Blackjack intelligently enough, via card counting, its the one game where you can push the odds to become slightly in the players favour, thats why they are so vigilant about policing it. Completely legal, just giving players a fair chance, and the casinos can't have that, lol

@@xsuploader There is still "skill" when playing blackjack without card counting. Just trying to play perfect strategy itself requires a significant degree of skill most people don't have. And they won't back you off if you're just playing perfect strategy. Also, you can count cards in Poker. You're not playing against the house

@@KS-xk2so You can do the same in Poker without getting kicked. If you want to make money, play poker.

Free booze??

@@melancholypuppy3595 capable casinos will offer free booze and amenities to high balance tables/lounges in an attempt to get them to make more reckless decisions while playing; at the same time it makes them look very hospitable and customer caring. Its fairly funny actually.

Though in some places casinos are allowed to ask patrons to leave a certain game which is mostly to get rid of card counters in black jack to minimize losses.

@@Intrasport probably ones with 100 minimum buy lol

@@melancholypuppy3595 no lol, you get free drinks while gambling anywhere. Table games, slots doesnt matter. Finding a waitress is the hard part.

Are they cheating with roullete?? Its not possible it usually comes on fhe numbers there are many betts on. And always next to my number. Please tell me is there a magnet or something?

Probably spot on because he taught the casino who then taught you.

Did you ever see a computer in a shoe?

@@fluxion187 I saw one in a cowboy hat once.

@@ewadrerrie4747 No there's nothing as there are usually regulations that are adhered to in most places. Especially in the United States, but most are not aware of it or mentioned much.

yeha, he was. no bs, straight up, thats my uncle, my mothers baby brother. remember, in grade school, when your class would have parties, and everyone had to bring something. 1 kid, brought in cupcakes, another soda, another chips, etc., i would bring my uncle sal. no kidding, he would do magic for the class.

This right here, the man respects the medium and alongside his immense and clear knowledge he has also earned respect.

Not all of it is cheating, some of it is just meticulously learning a game and finding a way to flip the odds in your favor. My favorite example is the guy who went on price is right after studying the products in their showcases. He found they reused products and was able to give his price accurate to the dollar in the final showcase.

I feel like there is so much skill involved in cheating at cards that if someone can do it successfully and not get caught then that's like an artistry and game in itself.

You can learn to cheat 99% of of everyone you've ever played cards with, in a month.

The casinos are absolutely no better

Counting cards isn't cheating at all, lol.

He'd be good on Rogan

Yea I want him on Joe Rogan or Value entertainment

Yes, very informative

@@nine182 an hour in Joe Rogan will ask him about DMT

@@GSungaila Have you ever tried DMT while you were counting cards? WOW yeah its unbelievable what these gorillas can do with a human arm. Jamie bring up that Gorilla who walked into the casino.

I especially disliked the angle they were using when he explained the dots that are hard to see. Now I can't confirm what he said because we had to look at the cards at an ~20° angle.

@@ingratus8160 right, like show a close up or an animation of the pattern or something.

@@ingratus8160 ppu

No

I’ll cheat right in his face!

I bet that him and his friends' monthly poker match basically is that.

now THAT'S a game I would pay to watch

That my friend is called a presidential election.

@@dave474c Yep. All smoke and mirrors. And no matter who wins, you lose.

It would probably end in a fist fight coz they will get caught. - "Hey! That was a false shuffle!" - "What? No it wasn't" - "Re-deal the hand!" - "But it wasn't a false shuffle!" - "Yes it f#ckn was you slimey cheat!" - "Takes one to know one!" - "Aaaggh" ..Bof!!!

Just can’t trust a gambler.

so true😂😂😂

He is a pro wym

Right so you know how oceans 8 has based on a true story in very small print

Thats is kind like security casino self-school, you learning how to cheating to try some, propably you be catch, so you lerning how they detecting "undetectable" tricks, you modyfing/mixing/improwing popular things or inventing yours and they useles to. Army cameras watching everything in casino, computers analizing games and detecting anomalies in "numerical haracteristic and probability" of the games, they specialists analizing posible reasons of this. Thats not must by abnormal winnings, thats can be loosing(to suport"partner") or some sequences or loops. AI helping to detecting this by recognizing not known to that moment methods. If you pass all this seciurity checks but be see you cheating thenhold yours win for deeper investigation, if dont find nothing then withdrawyour win. If you do this secound time and stilldidint find nothing(they be waithing for you with outher tools/methods/specialists to analize your game) you have big chance to have proposition where you can keep your win and they give you bonus and wery good contract for job. Because this mean you lernedmost of trics and method to detected them and yours skils,inteligenceand imagination can make new tricks immune on already known detecting methods, so you probably able to catch uncatchable to. In that momemt beter if you take this job, because they want and need you on his side or they must known how you cheating. If you dont take this job you gona to tel him how you do this, and you do this because you be want to be kiled to finish pain and tortures.

He used to be a Blackjack dealer.

Because the story was about a man’s relationship with his autistic brother and his father, not a small plot point.

@@Fullyautomagic and eventually the casino asked them to leave

Also they didn’t really get the autism elements right - that’s the thing about science (especially experimental science like psychology)… films based on them can look a little silly in 10 years time.

I remember seeing it back then with someone who had studied autism twenty years earlier. And he said: that's not how match counting works.

@@Fullyautomagic It was a flawed scene to anyone that understood card-counting and casino operations (which, I admit, was a small percentage of the audience). Happens all the time in movies, TV, and news if scenes involve something you know well. Look into the Gell-Mann Effect

It’s because movies give the impression that if you know how to count cards, you can predict the next card being dealt. When it’s more like, knowing, which card isn’t going to be dealt if that makes sense.

cool story bro, unfortunately i dont care since you bought or hacked an old youtube channel with 100k+ in order for your comments to get traction

@@KompadoodleLEL Yup

Wow congratulations on buying a botted account. I hope you feel very special

Congrats bro. Nobody believes stories like yours. So shut up.

I never gamble… cuz I’m only 10!

Although they may have done it together before.. and are probably more than clever enough to get away with it, most casinos know the identity the person before they even sit at the table, especially if they are winning. They’ll know your job and salary before 10 seconds after you place a hand.

@@bigzy8183 imagine he wore prosthetics and a disguise though

@@bigzy8183 Plenty of private poker games around if you know where to look, also casinos don't care as much if you're cheating other players out of money, they focus more on people who are cheating the casino directly.

Indeed. But ultimately, looks don't matter at the end of the day. The skills to pay the bills do, heh.

What about the mortician in another video 😂 homie looked exactly like a mortician would and had the name to match haha

Tatyana lol exactly what I thought. Victor was a textbook mortician

I hear you. This man’s expertise and his ability to clearly explain it, is superb. I can’t believe how much this video blew me away. This man is so talented in so many ways.

@A W is he a rainman like card counter

what casino? One of the Crowns?
