There’s also 104 in 2 packs, and 156 in 3 packs. Of course that’s not counting jokers, which I personally think should be counted. I don’t know how many there are in 4 packs but mom said we could go to the store on Tuesday and buy another one so I might update this comment then :)

I got so much heat today at the casino. the dealer flat out asked me if I was counting. then after I won my 500 dollar bet and the pit boss distracted me for a minute asking random questions. the dealer burned a card when I wasn't paying attention and a dude who wasn't sitting on the table but just watching called her out on it. she ended up pulling the burned card and dealing it to me with approval from the pit boss. it was a jack. I played that hand and walked away. that dude saved my ass so hard I would have lost that bet and been off on my count the rest of the shoe.

Please forgive my ignorance here, I'm trying to learn how to play blackjack with some kind of consistent methodology and I'm pretty uneducated at this point. What does it mean when you said the dealer "burned" a card but then soon later re-dealt it to you?

@ryancage1006 3 года назад
@@cowboydan8021 so before the game starts or a dealer is changed out due to them taking a break or its the end of the shift. house rules say they need to "burn" the top card from the shoe. this is just them taking it out not dealing it to anyone and putting it in the discard tray (typically you don't see the card either sometimes they might flash it and then you add it to the running count if not 100 percent sure what card you saw ignore it). when a dealer is doing that mid shoe and they didn't change dealers its not cool. you treat those cards like they are just behind the cut card in the back of the shoe but if they start burning cards every round or every other round it adds up and will make the running count way to off to make a appropriate bet based on the running count to true count conversion. its best just to stand up at that point and wait for a new game. when I first started this was easy because I wasn't taking it extremely serious and I was very relaxed. after getting the heat and noticing dealers making payout mistakes more often then I'd ever imagine its become a adrenaline rush everytime I sit at the table. I learn something new almost every time I play. like slouching in the chair on second base is a great way for the dealer to flash you cards all day when they check for blackjack if the dealer is sloppy.

That is total BS. The reason these actions exist is because people did count already. What a twisted way of looking at it. The house only has half a percent advantage in blackjack when perfect basic strategy is played. A counter can have up to a 2% advantage. It's cheating. The house is entitled to its advantage for facilitating it. YOU make the bets. They pay you. They still have the risk of you getting on a lucky streak and being up on them. Some people who play only basic strategy can even be up on a casino for a full fiscal year because they got all of the right cards. I hate how counters think that what they do is justified....

I work in casinos, and I'll tell you right now; we *do* put people in the database, but generally, the casino's business model is to keep you inside, even when winning. And that includes card counters. See, there's more to being a card counter, from the casino's perspective, than just winning hands when you can. And, generally, your winnings won't be too big. But if you're getting heat from the casino staff, this provides a positive feedback loop on that table because many gamblers will see the table as a lucky table, rather than assuming you're card counting. Additionally, a single player being emboldened at the table emboldens the other players on the table, but that card counting player is tempering their emboldened strategy with their card count, whereas the surrounding players are simply playing bolder because they see the card counter winning.
@peterisawesomeplease
@peterisawesomeplease 2 года назад
Yea this is a key point never talked about on this channel as far as I can tell. The casinos deliberately have their games set up to allow for a low level of advantaged play. They could easily only have rule sets that are impossible to beat. But it adds romance to the game which draws people in. Its advertising. Blackjack generally is an advertisement game. It has low payout to the house not just because of the odds but because it takes up more space than a slot and requires way more overhead in terms of dealers, security, and logistics. Even at 0.5% advantage the house is almost certainly losing money on most tables. But by having blackjack tables you drawn in more people than use your slots or whatever making up the difference.
@TruthBehindTheLies
@TruthBehindTheLies 2 года назад
@@peterisawesomeplease They make their money on blackjack tables because the average player is not playing perfectly and makes plenty of mistakes so the small house advantage becomes much larger.

@@TruthBehindTheLies That is a good point. 0.5% house advantage is still only over perfect non counting play. Its probably more like 2 or 3 percent on average. Which is lower than the 6 or 7 percent on slots but still more than I was thinking of.

Being nice / non-confrontation with the bit is very important. There are a few who just think they are god's gift to casinos to protect games, but most of the time they don't want to be backing you off either. Also, there is a big difference between being asked to stop playing and being 86ed. I've had pits tell me that they knew what I was doing but there shift was this time to that time and their off days were such and so forth and they didn't care what I did during other shifts. Obviously the final decision is not up to the pit, but you can help yourself a lot by handling it well. Fact is arguing / fighting / self-righteousness doesn't work anyway, so might as well deescalate the situation, make nice with them, and live to see another day.

Hey Colin, quick question, do you think you could be a winning BJ player if you were made to flat bet? if you learned a count with the highest PE?

One thing you forgot to mention which I think is important is finding out or asking a dealer casualty “hey is that the shift manager/VP of table games?” If they say yes and he’s hawking your game from the podium odds are you've got some heat. If it’s a low level floor person, then you know you’re okay.

When they backed him off due to losing that $6mil, he went "that's cute" and pulled the fight out of that Casino. It's hillarious, because they got butthurt about losing $6mil, they proceeded to lose hundreds of millions of more dollars.

Hey Colin, thanks for the great content and sharing your experience! Just love your videos and the mathematical/statistical perspective on the game! Have you ever heard of a situation where an actual gambler got super lucky and was falsely accused of playing a winning game or card counting for that matter? How do they discriminate between someone who's actually counting cards and someone who's just being lucky if both players are generating high amounts of money over a constant period of time?

@tmtmtlsml
@tmtmtlsml 3 года назад
There are a few ways casinos make that determination between an AP and a lucky player. As a dealer, the biggest indicators to me are 1) selectively taking insurance on non-20 hands, 2) bet spreads larger than 5x, and 3) dropping bets after obvious negative count hands. After being tipped off, you just keep count out of a fresh shoe, and if their bets match the count, it's a pretty good chance they're an AP. 1 is probably the weirdest one, but as a dealer, it's also the most obvious. There are only two types of blackjack players when it comes to insurance: those who always take it (rare), and those who never take it unless they have 20. The (flawed) reasoning is that if they have 20, they expect to win the hand and make the insurance back, despite the two bets being separate. So when someone has like a 12 and they take insurance, that's an indication that the count is high and the insurance EV is positive (bonus points if they raised their bet for that hand). Once as an AP after I insured a 7, the dealer said to me "Wow, the count must have been high, huh?" and my heart almost stopped. I made an excuse about just hoping for a push instead of having to play out the hand, but I made sure to toke him as he left just in case I didn't sell it enough. As for 2, most casinos limit how much you can alter your spread before they automatically shuffle specifically to limit APs. I've seen places where they limit it to 4x or even 3x your first bet out of a shoe, but there are still some casinos that don't have those limits at all. Number 3 is pretty self-explanatory: everyone at the table gets a pair of face cards for 20 and the next hand has the guy at 1st base dropping his bet from $300 to table minimum? Probably knows what he's doing. Because casinos don't actually need to provide a reason for barring someone from playing, they often don't provide one at all. They just tell you that the decision was made that you can't alter your bets through a shoe, or you can't play the tables anymore, and it's final. The reason they do this is exactly because of what you've suggested; they don't want to accuse someone of counting when they just got lucky with their bet spreads matching the count. Over the course of thousands or millions of hands, it's bound to happen, and when that "lucky" player then goes on social media and blasts the casino for kicking him out, it makes them look extra bad because they not only lost a player who didn't have an advantage, but now everyone thinks they brand everyone who wins as a counter and they don't want to deal with any of that.

She was flipping the cards so hard my way, finally one of the cards sailed by me, and hit the floor. I didn't see why I should retrieve the card, and we ended up just staring at each other. After about 30 seconds the Security Guard standing at the wall behind me who was watching both of us walked over, picked up the flying card and handed it to me. I played about another 20 minutes, got tired playing catcher, and left. As I was leaving, the Security Guard approached me and apologized for the dealer's dealing. As I was annoyed at the dealer, I also apologized to him for treating him like a flunky, which I had no right to do. Reno was a lot of laughs.

If they trespass you, i would NOT go back in. When they tell you of the trespass warning, with or without the police. I would do 2 things. Ask how long the trespass is for, and if you can get it in writing. And NEVER give your ID. As far as the ID goes, no property owner can make you give ID. That simple, never give them your ID. Depending on the state, the police can't even demand your ID for a trespass warning. All states have trespass laws very similar and IDs are NOT required. Your "ID" will be a picture of your face on a DB with a note of a date, time, location, pit boss name of who told you to never come back. That is a legal a warning, with or without your ID. If they trespass you, even without your ID, you are still trespassed. And if you go in, they can, by law, use shop keeper rights and hold you until police come. I wouldn't be on someone's property once you are told to leave.
