Do casino 'heavies' really beat up card counters?

Everybody's hands go UP!
Just watched this movie about some MIT guys card counting in Vegas.

Do they really take you in the back and re arrange your face?

yeah i wouldn't think many casinos are left that would have a so-called "mob" connection. It's all big corporations with PR people and Human resources and the such.

Back in the day, Very Very Likely

TODAY, they will Very Very Very Politely simply ask you to NOT PLAY ANYMORE 21

They will even go further & say you are more than welcome to play Dice, Roulette, Poker, Slots, OR anything else . . . . They Just simply ask NO MORE 21 please . . . .

Re: Do casino 'heavies' really beat up card counters?

Casinos set the default to "loser," on all new players. They figure you are a total mark, and if you are a big enough mark, you are going to be assigned some two-faced casino host who will satisfy your every whim if he can establish you're an idiot, but will drop you from his casino as soon as he finds out you know how to turn the casino's advantage into your advantage.

They really don't like that advantage play stuff very much..

So, If you are actually winning at BJ, they'll back you off the game with the common "you are welcome to play any other game in the casino, however."

But now you are a marked man. Move over to Video Poker and start waxing them. Trust me, you are not long for their casino world. Start picking off soft lines in the sportsbook, they don't like that much either.

Just move on to the next casino. The initial love they showed you evaporates quickly.

JEFF

Being told by 10++++ casinos NO MORE 21 and about the same in SPORTSBOOKS (VEGAS) could NOT agree with you more

EXCEPT

on the Video Poker Machines . . . . care to explain to me How you "RUN THOSE OVER" as I don't seem to have much Luck with those OR any machines the $20.75 c I've Invested in last 20---Yrs (LOL)

Thanks in advance for your answer(s)



ps: Go to "Barbary Coast" & see how many Hands you play if you are
A) Counting or which is MORE UNREAL B) even vary your betting
strategy before Mr Gaughn & Crew Politely ask you to LEAVE

No, I don't care to explain.

But running them over is not the daily 9 to 5 genius VP gambler job, although I watch these people everyday in the Palms.

Certain VP has a small advantage, but the casino will whack you early, if the suits catch on.

On a daily basis, I think sports remains your best hope.

Eventhough I admit a tremendous weakness for DP craps.

But to answer the original question of the thread, casino "heavies" do not have to beat up card counters. They just ask them to leave.

Good luck on that "DP" side of Craps, altho its the best way to play . . . you will still lose your ass as I've Persoanlly "donated" Over 500-K

when they stop Barring/pushing the "12" on come Out ROLL

call me & Perhaps I'll get back in the Game . . . .Until then I'm out

as I have Huge Issue when each Time 12 is rolled THEY PICK UP PASS LINE WAGERS & yet do NOT pay 1--cent to the "DONT'S"

may not seem like much, but I assure you they pay more than just the Electric Bill on that one "RULE" alone . . . .


every Book you read explains the DON'T PASS as exact Opposite of the Pass . . . & that's simply not TRUE or we would get paid on the "12" when the PASS LINE Bettors "LOSE" . . .

anyway, best of luck on those easy to beat Machines over at that Palms Place & if you ever need VIP--TABLE @ Ghost Bar or Rain please let me know . . . I've donated enough on that easy--ass DON"T PASS LINE to get you Table or SIX upstairs (LOL):cheers
