    seems like 1st base would be the best spot if you are counting cards, because when it is a positive count you wont see the count go down which is more likely if you are sitting at 3rd base with a positive count.

    Just thoughts; not sure how true it is. Probably something to think about at a single or double deck but not a 8 deck table.

    Cards are cards and it does not matter where you sit as far as the count is concerned. The count is the count no matter where you sit. When to press up when the count is in your favor is the key. You may have to play many hands across several shoes before the count gets real good over just a few hands. You have to press like hell when that moment comes. I may go 50 - 70 hands betting $25 then get a great count where I'll bet $500 for 3 or 4 hands, hoping to make more in those few hands as I will in all the rest.

    I don't just count cards but I also try to count patterns particularly of 3 or 4 cards. 2 of hearts, 3 of hearts, 10 of spades, jack of spades, is a pattern. Most hand shuffles and automatic shuffles do not shuffle completely. You may see the 2 of hearts then the 3 of hearts again. What's the chances of the next card being the 10 of spades? Pretty high, then the next card the Jack. I have very good memory with cards, not really photographic but almost, where I can feel the flow of cards. I'll be sitting at a table and call out cards and people look at me like I'm a physic or cheating. I play much better going off this instinct instead of using the count or especially playing by the book. I am a much better player when I feel the cards. I don't always play the same way which most people at a table do not like. Why are you hitting that soft 18 when you stayed the last time??? For me it's feeling the patterns that works best on top of playing the statistics. I usually do worst when I play strictly by the book, especially if I'm at a full table and people EXPECT me to play by the book. I'll do it just to pass the time and look for a good count but long term I'll just end up bleeding slowly.

    Never play blackjack to set a socialize....

    if a table starts to lose or they change dealers or dealer keeps shuffling the cards...

    bounce to a new table that people are winning....

    thats how I won at blackjack....

    Hardly ever play anymore.... Sports is the only way to go for me...

    I love to win money but the main reason I use to play blackjack was to socialize with pretty woman. If you see 2 woman on vacation together, they are most likely looking to hook up. Most of the time, they want to hook up with just one guy because it's safer 2 on 1 and they can experience a 3 way including having a girl on girl experience. The blackjack table is the best spot because you're sitting, drinking and socializing. "Ya'll are here together alone"? "You left the guys at home"? "Okay, how many drinks are we drinking"? "She's beautiful isn't she"? (say that to the less attractive one). "Do you think she has a nice figure"? "Have you ever kissed her before"? Have you ever wanted to kiss her? "It's easier If you kiss me first then kiss her". "Or I'll just watch or ya'll just watch"? "She's bad... We both have to spank her, don't we?" "Okay, where are we going after we finish playing"? If they say to go eat or get drinks, you are in like Flynn.

    It works well with 2 girls. Not so much with 3 or more because they won't take you serious and they are not as close to each other. You should be wearing nice clothes and smell good (Or tight clothes if you are in great shape, with your dick swinging). You do not have to be a cute boy but you have to look clean with a positive attitude and be direct. Talk shit and make them laugh. Tell them what you want and tell them what to do. The casino is a huge aphrodisiac. I remember a girl admitting at the table that she never had an orgasm before. Her friend was really surprised. Okay, our mission for the weekend was for her to come. Mission accomplished several times.

    Nope - do it all the time at many high end casinos. I don't do it that blatant. I'll go a bunch in between but same basic theory of low/slow play until the hand looks good. I've never ever been called out for counting and I've won some big money at the tables. I've had many instances where they've changed out dealers over and over again but that's about it. I did get called out one time at the dice table in a dump dive. I was kicking ass and they got pissed. They tried to come up with all kind of shit to throw me off but I couldn't 7 out if I tried. Rolled for about 25 minutes and got the hell out of dodge. I walked out of that place backwards...

    I don't think that is very smart. Women are catty bitches at heart. None of them want to be reminded that their friend is the "hot" one. Most already know that. I would never use that line.

    I'd say something like - after the attractive one has gotten up - "So you're the fun one and she's the prude eh"...that opens up the convo to alot of different directions and it does get it directed towards banging.

    Plaza - I reread my post and it wasn't really clear. I meant to say to the hot one that the less attractive one is pretty. The pretty one has been told she's pretty all the time. She knows she's pretty and hears it too much. She thinks her friend is pretty as well but it never gets noticed so as soon as you ask her if her friend is pretty she is going to say, "She is beautiful" because she believes she is especially inside. She wouldn't be hanging out with her if she didn't think so. She's not going to be catty with her friend. She might feel funny that she's not being singled out which is all the better. The goal is to get her to agree with you that she is pretty and that she would kiss her as well. I do not want to separate them by pitting one against the other by saying one is prude, unless you want to divide and conquer (which may work if one wants to ditch the other but that very rarely happens). No, you say both are fun, both are beautiful. Would they be attracted to each other if one was a man? They will both say yes.

    You can sometimes get more explicit (but you have to test and not be vulgar). If one is dressed flaunting her breast or ass you tell the other that damn, she has a nice butt/figure. Or go slower and say something less like she has pretty feet or nose, etc. Back and forth banter that you think they are both beautiful confirming that they think each other is beautiful as well. Once again test, throw it out there but pull back from being direct and then indirect. The next step is let's go eat, let's go to a nice club down the street, or sometimes it's let's go to my room to continue playing cards.

    This works very well in a casino setting with 2 woman. Heck, I think it may work better than with one woman. I've probably have had just as much success with 2. Most woman by themselves are usually addicted to the tables and ain't getting up for you. And most others aren't very comfortable leaving with a stranger. If you know people that work in the casino that helps because she then knows that you are at least a regular and may not be a serial killer. You almost have to woo the single woman over a couple of days. The only one's ready to leave with you immediately are working girls.

    The pool, the bar and the clubs are the best places to meet single woman on vacation. The more I think about it, rarely will a beautiful woman walk up to the table and you walk away with her. I've pulled a bunch that are passing through the casino but rarely at the table by themselves. One time I met an IBM executive at Mandalay Bay where they were having a week long conference. She was at the tables instead of at the conference. She had some big ass breasts and lips. We hooked up for a couple of days and would you believe she left me $500 when she left. WTF? As if I was broke or a damn prostitute. I called her when she got back in Ohio and I was like, what was that about. She said she didn't want to leave without giving me something. I got pissed and hung up on her. All my friends were telling me I must be crazy. I'm still salty thinking about it right now. lol

    Regardless of where you sit, you run the same chance another player is going to screw up. One obviously wrong play on the first hand of a new shoe affects every other hand played thereafter.
