Card Counting Team Hits TOUGHEST Casino In Europe!

[@TheFrenchPug]

Counting cards is easy. You can do it. Memorizing the basic strategy is the next thing. Then, understanding when to vary your bets based on the count is next. Followed by actually being able to do the math in your head on the fly when multiple decks are used and dividing the number of decks used (or left) into the count and taking that number and cross referencing it to a decision, to me, was the hardest to do. So, I just stuck with the basic strategy and card counting with slightly varying my bets. It's tougher and longer to win that way though.

[@donaldlyons17]

@@TheFrenchPug Well no counters tend to put in a ton of work so it is anything but simple or easy.

Rules against card counting must be the single most ridiculous thing ever. Also wtf is up with people refusing to cash you out after you spend money on their lottery game. That's straight up mugging.

[@noseboop4354]

It happens all the time. Sports betting will also ban people who are too good at predicting which teams will win. Casinos are legally allowed to be scum if they pay off the politicians enough.

[@GRice999]

Suggestion for future team play: If there is a known card counter, such as yourself, go to the casino and don't participate with the team. Count cards as you normally would, varying your bets, and draw the attention of the casino towards you as a diversion. You won't even have to stay long. Leave before you're trespassed and perhaps come back a while later. The casino may not scrutinize the others on your team because they're not as well known, they're not varying their bets, and the casino is obsessed with you. Also, have more than one BP so they can arrive and leave after or before the team players. You might even get to have more than one on a table during a good shoe (betting different amounts). But don't do that more than once a session. For the record, some casinos won't let you "Wong In" like that in the middle of a shoe for the very reason you're doing it. Also, the BPs should have a player's card and spend some time at baccarat, video poker or some other low -ev game, even on days before the team arrives to establish a history as a gambler (obviously not for a lot of time and for somewhat lower stakes than they'll bet at blackjack). One of the BPs can even have a "spouse" with them who watches (putting on an act when the BP loses a hand) or plays low stakes roulette or something. Also, the BP can stay at the casino's hotel if it has one, but most of the rest of the team doesn't. Good luck.

[@spacesoup1243]

The spouse signalling to the low stakes rouletter may alleviate some exhaustion. They could communicate the count via a roulette bet too. Perhaps switching roles every hour would help to divert whilst improving energy levels. However, it may seem fishy to bet €5 and then wong in for €2000. The diversion counter is also a good idea, but it depends how long it takes for them to suss you out. You could be out in 15 mins, as opposed to 6 hours. Also these extra team members will reduce individual EV.

14:15 you hit on an extremely important concept. I noticed that when I started learning basic strategy. I started working on rationalizing each decision when I studied the charts and that allowed me to apply that rationalization when I play if it is an unusual situation that I can't remember.

Love the videos. Went to Vegas a few weeks ago and was back counting while a buddy played. Saw a running count of -40! Had only been practicing single and double deck at home so just was in awe of it. He had a 17 with a dealer showing 10 and asked if he should risk it. "yeah, definitely" and he got a 4! Won $200 and we left after. Fun times.

Steven struck solid gold by changing his channel from him performing as a magician, to card counting. This is easily one of the best, if not the best, series I've ever seen on KZbin. I know Steven shot himself in the foot by posting about his card counting publicly since the most important part of being a counter is doing anything to avoid being recognized, which is almost impossible now due to how many people in the Casino industry have seen his videos and know his face, but it led to countless hours of entertainment and support from his followers, so I'm glad it still worked out for him in the end. Wonder how long itll be before he's literally not allowed to play Blackjack in any casino in the world with how popular his channel is...
