Wow, maybe I should dedicate a few days to that crap if I can make 400K a weekend...

You should read the book, bringing down the house. It tells the story very well and is very entertaining.

[EvilYoda]

hehe...but this was a while back, before they really started honing their anti-cheating computer systems, right? I wonder if people could still do that today, since on all the shows the inside workers talk about how everyone knows this trick...

Don't see why not. At least, for a while.

 

[GtPrOjEcTX]

just happened as in just banned.

 

[SuperTool]

There is a Book about it.

yep, blackjack is one of the few "beatible" games if there is such a thing.

I play almost every weekend, sometimes up, sometimes down. Use a "gut insinct" for the cards as in watching the table and couting the face cards on each hand...reducing them to a 1/8 type count. If the count gets below 1/4 I'm betting big.

...and soon a movie done by Kevin Spacey... for those who didn't read the article...

Very interesting!
I would try this card counting trick if I didn't have such a bad case of CRS.

I hear that Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and Matt Damon are gonna star in this movie. It's gonna be about beating the house in Vegas...

December 18, 2002 The Eye of Sauron appeared in the Lobby 7 skylight, corresponding with the opening of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.

Geeks!
