Update: Next episode has been delayed because I ended up doing a spontaneous Card Counting Trip over the past few weeks! Hopefully it'll be out soon. 🙂

[@Roman-he9mm]

Why not play slots a little to throw them off?

[@lp879]

The Irish wit 😂

[@Moosedrool-AP]

Now an AP/Dealer, I spent many years in surveillance at large casinos. I can confirm that just because someone is drawing attention on one table and playing high dollar amounts, winning/losing, doesn’t mean other patrons are being ignored. The ways surv catches APs can vary. Great content, Steven. Congrats to you and Strike. May the chips continue to fall your way!!

[@zahidshabir4038]

Yeah if someone is way overdramatic then it can clearly be a sign they are drawing attention away from something else. This is not just a thing in gambling but in other situations too such as actual theft/robbery or trespassing etc... and even random people like me would probably assume they are an accomplice if someone else did something suspicious when out in public or if in casinos they won too many games during this time

[@JohnnyLobes]

Gotta love how you can lose as much as you want and not get backed off...

[@Moosedrool-AP]

@@JohnnyLobes that’s my pet peeve

[@doom2508]

@@JohnnyLobes There are a couple times in this series where Steven's been down quite a bit but still backed off.

[@tommarsden661]

⁠@@JohnnyLobesabsolutely not true. Advantage players can still be discovered while they are losing. The result doesn’t change the manner of play. If the casino staff is intelligent they aren’t looking at the result.

[@jacob-magnuson]

To everyone saying he should use a fake ID - nah. Their armor is that they’re not breaking any laws. Imagine a casino called law enforcement before he has a chance to get away - if he was forced to show ID, even not rightfully, he’d be caught red-handed in a felony. Even if he gave a fake to the casino employee and the real one to a cop later, it’d still almost certainly become the focus over whether he’s counting or not. Always gotta consider the worst case - even a 0.001% chance of catching a felony just devastates the EV of your career. Think of the Team Graph!

[@jakobm.4183]

If you already are in the database, then the chance that they figure out it's fake is not that low anymore, in particular if you are Steve Bridges from youtube.

[@casedistorted]

Yeah better to follow the law and not catch a case. Don’t want to end up a felon. Don’t carry fake ID’s, it’ll burn you in the end if a cop ever catches you with one. Even having other people’s ID’s can potentially be bad. As a former taxi driver I ended up with other people’s ID’s as collateral all the time. Funnily enough people would rather lose their Id and pay for a new one, than just call me and pay back some silly fare worth $20-30. People are dumb, I’ve seen all types as a cab driver.

At a Midwest casino I was playing 3rd base and had a pit boss over my shoulder for some time. That or staring from the podium. One shoe was particularly good and I distinctly remember the true count being +8 after having been dealt a pair of faces with the dealer showing a 5. I looked at the pit boss mere inches from me and say, the running is +16 with exactly 2 decks remaining. That would leave me with a true count of 8. I proceeded to split (and win) the hand. The look on his face was pure disbelief as I quickly colored up and left. 🤷‍♂️ Gonna go down, may as well have fun!!

I like how you're masking Irish's voice the whole video, but then play it crystal clear on the recording 😀

[@rose30613]

It's cuz he's using his fake accent in the recording, not his real one

[@whatifschrodingersboxwasacofin]

Retired lawyer here. Big believer in following the laws. Which, by definition, means that I also believe in using laws to a legitimate/reasonable extent for self-benefit. Shield/sword. If you can use the casinos’ rules/laws to beat them at their own games while not breaching any gaming or criminal laws, more power to you. Very nicely done!

[@rule2169]

Could not have asked for a better time for a Steven upload. This channel is so great.

Moral of this video: Casinos are gits. Never underestimate their greed. Stand by your principles and give them nothing. This includes you keeping your ID to yourself when you're blitzing a city.

[@nervyodds3937]

The stations casinos are connected together. Stations, Red Rock, Durango, Boulder City, The Palace and Green Valley are all part of Stations umbrella, which is why you probably got backed off at Stations since you just left Red Rock.

[@tommyfu9271]

yea spreading as big as he did at Red Rock then going to Santa Fe Station after was just begging for it. He should have hit Sun Coast while he was in that area.

[@AbsoluteAstronaut]

Thanks for the videos Steven!

[@whimseyOFC]

Steven, I'm loving your videos as always. One little thing I noticed, was you said early in the video that you all have a common understanding that you under no circumstances should show your ID when in vegas. Then you go on to do it anyway, and get in to a "discussion" about it with your leader. If you have set up ground rules, you should always stick to them. I found it a bit odd that you made the statement saying that this situation should have been established beforehand, when you insinuated it was establihed in the first place early in the video. Hoping to see lots of great content coming in the future. Play smart, and keep beating the casinos

[@johnnyvegass16]

I thought about you today getting cut off all the time. I reached 6 figure profit betting NFL games for the 1st time being a 50 year old lifetime gambler. I went to place my bet on Draftkings today a 12k bet and draftkings cut me off on their sportsbook. What a great feeling and accomplishment. Love your videos.

[@tommyfu9271]

DK cuts limits to dirt same as fanduel and most of the other legal sites. My max wins allowed even on stuff like nba moneylines are a joke these days.

[@johnnyvegass16]

@@tommyfu9271 I was betting 8-16k a game won most ( I don' bet every week unless a game stands out.) I dont get how they just shut you down without warning. I also got $100 ticket on Flacco at 100-1 to win comeback player of the year which has a great shot.

[@israelhm7339]

Thanks to your channel I've become a far far more skilled Blackjack player. I'm still new so I only play small hands (Between $10-$25 hands) but I've managed to have 3 profitable sessions from the last 4 I've played. I generally start with $50-$100 and when the deck heats up I up my bet and ride it out. As soon as I triple my money I walk away. My best session (my last one) I started with $50 and cashed out at $500. I know side bets are stupid but once I got to $150 I started betting 2 hands at $10 with $2 on perfect pairs and $2 on the flush. Hit a perfect pair and a flush on 7's against a 4, split and the dealer busted. It was a great night so thanks for all the videos and entertainment you give

[@williammadisondavis]

I would dress up in a valet fit and say “yeah I’m just on my way home from work as a valet at X, just wanted to get a few hands in - I don’t have my ID on me though” and carry on I do wonder if you said “hey here’s my ID but I’d rather you not take it” definitely minor red flags I’m wondering if there’s any decent excuse you could give for why u wouldn’t want them taking it to the back…

[@williammadisondavis]

Maybe wearing a shirt that indicates you’re over 21, like a Budweiser shirt or some shit. Or a security guard shirt would subconsciously make them not ask for ur ID. Obviously anyone can buy a random t shirt but subconsciously it may help

[@tommyfu9271]

red rock actually takes action pretty well. but you can't go from one hand of 25 to 2 hands of 400 on double deck especially and last long at all. and then after doing that go to another stations property to play again. that's just pure greed and BEGGING to be flyered. if you really wanna blast them like that you should do it at the end of a Vegas trip not at the beginning.

[@sanfranciscobay]

That's how you need to gamble as a Card Counter and it's obvious to the Casinos. Impossible to avoid.

[@tommyfu9271]

@@sanfranciscobay it's not how you have to gamble on a DD game. you can smash a deeply double deck with a 6-1 spread and play for a while at red rock. Oh you can throw it in their face, get backed off in 20 mins and flyered across all station properties and show your id in the process. Don't get me wrong everyone makes mistakes and need to learn from them but this spread and then going to Santa Fe right after was a huge mistake.
