The sales pitch is being winning card player. If they can talk a smooth game on top of that, it will be a good movie

Looks pretty interesting.

PAULYPOKER · 06-24-19, 01:44 PM

Lol........

It's not a movie and there's NO Fukkin SALES PITCH!!

He literally gets kicked out of Vegas and most big name casinos
by force and illegal threats in the US............

In all seriousness, at next bash I’ll teach anyone who wants to learn. Must not mention my name though and it’s really not as hard as you might think to count cards. Nor would I suggest doing it for a living, I don’t.

We’ll find a $10 table, slow dealer and I’ll show you how to count, tricks to count quickly to not get behind, the count before each hand and what you should do.

If you start significantly raising & lowering bets
winning the high and losing the low.....
The pit boss will turn into a pit bull and forcefully remove you
from the premises....

Then I would win a lot more in a lawsuit than anyone ever could at blackjack

You put its IMDb information up in the first post. You know, the Internet MovieDatabase. And that information says clearly documentary film. Film and movie are synonyms (as well as picture; movie is just the least pretentious way of saying it)

I'm gonna watch it, b/c it looks interesting. But u nailed it.

Blackjack is one game that's been played out 10,000x easily. "Beat the Dealer" was published in 1966. That's now 50+ years of counter-measures!

It's the one game where even a mid-level pit boss can detect what you're doing + respond quickly. Blackjack is a great game. It's good fun, but it's just un-thinkable that there are still big margins to be had.

Yes,I think his dad mentions the book as he was a professional as well.....

Being a pro blackjack player is easy; I'm one of them. The hard part is making any kind of significant money because it's easy to spot an advantage player at the tables.

PAULYPOKER · 06-25-19, 08:58 AM

I've been kicked out of casinos as an

"Advantage Craps Player"
using a very simple system I brainstormed then created...

System: Martingale the Field as Snake Eyes and Boxcars
are the edge when they hit deep into the Martingale
as they pay 2/1 or +200 in sportsbook language....

I only do drivebys now..........

kyhawk · 06-25-19, 09:23 AM

It can definitely be beaten

PAULYPOKER · 06-25-19, 09:38 AM

When you reached the edge over the house in blackjack
in a 6 deck shoe, you're now betting on the dealer to bust
more than you're trying to build 21......

What does this mean? Do not hit on 12 and over....

Another money tree windfall while the advantage is yours........>
Splitting pairs like a crack whore who fukk's everyone an anything
(for as little a hit on a crack pipe) is a must as well...
I don't give a fukk if you paired Ten's to Kings,,.SPLIT THEM!!!

eaglesfan371 · 06-25-19, 09:57 AM

No... do NOT split 20 people. DO NOT. The only time it is good to split 20 is when they count is very very high, however this is rare and a novice will lose so much EV by splitting 20 at wrong times.

agendaman · 06-25-19, 10:10 AM

card counting went out with thorpe you wanna count cards from a 7 deck shoe

od120731 · 06-25-19, 10:53 AM

As a young boy I was crazy about counting cards and learning strategies. Should watch the documentary as a tribute to my youth..

biggie12 · 06-25-19, 11:22 AM

pauly i hate to break it to youthe ship has sailed.

im not as good as these guys or maybe i am who knoes but jave been banned from several ontario casinos. this was back in 2003. At the time you could only get good shoe games by playing in the higher limit rooms at $100 a hand. and the penetration was already starting to be pushed back.

nowadays try and get a good count going on these 6 deck shoes with 2-2.5 deck pentration is brutal.

Good luck beating that game. Im sure my 3 pt count w side counting aces was much more elaborate then what they do in doc. im guessing they are either doing a hi/lo or 2 pt system

asiagambler · 06-25-19, 11:59 AM

Stanford Wong- wrote one of the first books on card counting

John Chang of MIT fame

Michael Shackleford site owner of wizardofodds

Al Francesco- old pro

Hyland and Grosjean sound familiar, haven't heard of the other guys.

But if I know them, casinos for sure know them so I have no idea how they are supposed to win when some of them aren't even allowed to step foot inside the casino.

Games aren't countable these days and mostly due to deck penetration as biggie said.
