Should we ban Casino sharps?

**Extra Innings** · 03-18-11, 08:17 AM

I would be willing to put a healthy wager on the House being up @ least 250,000 points since opening the casino. I know for a fact that some of your big winners only came back to lose their points the next day. Prove me wrong.

This is just a guess on my part, but isn't an online casino different than a brick and mortar casino? What I mean is, if you're playing in a brick and mortar, they shuffle the cards and use them until they hit the yellow card. Online, aren't the cards shuffled after every hand?

It seems that counting would be impossible. As far as the strategy system is concerned, how is it frowned upon? You can sit at a table with the strategy card in plain sight and use it. The casino doesn't care.

Of course card counting isn't illegal but they will throw you out if they believe you're doing it.

It's a joke Pal

Of course. First you have to put them on a delay, taking 30 seconds to get his next card. Then limit the max bets to $3.65. And finally ban them, even confiscating all the points.

That way they will learn not to mess with SBR casino, where the dreams come true.

**FourLengthsClear** · 03-18-11, 08:29 AM

LOL.

Guys,
I'd like to introduce our new VIP casino manager. He will make sure your dreams(or mine

) really do come true!! A round of applause for Cookie Monster!

**katstale** · 03-18-11, 08:35 AM

I agree with John, but not until I after abuse the system.

**mighty maron** · 03-18-11, 08:36 AM

SBR has stated in the past that books have the right to reduce bets or even not allow people to play. If it doesnt affect rollover or a persons ability to withdraw, collaring is ok in sbr view as long as the book lists itself as recreational.

Sbr casino would be a recreational endevaor. If it wants to collar, limit, or ban as long as it doesnt affect current balance then it should be able to do so.

Sounds very familiar

Sounds like a real familiar modus operandi. So how much did Bet365 stiff you for?

No, don't ban them. Rough em up a lil bit. Show em that you mean business

**Checkerboard** · 03-18-11, 08:48 AM

LOL!

i won a casino trophy for 443 points

that next day i go on to lose 5k in points playing both blackjack and VP

i have most likely lost about 15-20k in the casino i wish i could get a report showing lifetime losses. heck after i won 5k from the royal flush promo i lost that 5k in the casino in less than 15 minutes.

sportsbook=ok
casino= not ok

you cant beat the casino and yet i keep trying

i might be dumb.

i really want to hit the royal flush and i have played a lot of hands and still no royal

i dont think i hit 40k hands yet but i am most likely close to it.

**jjgold** · 03-18-11, 10:58 AM

I would ban them, we actually are watching 4 guys and see if they are doing something fishy.

**thekid667** · 03-18-11, 11:05 AM

Wow dude that's the most awards Ive ever seen

**SBR_John** · 03-18-11, 12:41 PM

To be serious for a second, we have had 3 guys win nearly 150,000 points in the last 20 days playing blackjack. I think we may have to reevaluate the maximum bet limits for blackjack. Either that or farm out our casino play to Easystreet.

**BIGDAY** · 03-18-11, 12:45 PM

Well, they're not watching me... I graciously donate my pts almost every day.

Hypothetically...if I was the boss...I would probably go into the boiler-room and tweak the software a tad to be a little more in the houses favor....I mean I'm strictly speaking hypothetically here

Yah, but publish the inverse. Over the past 30 days, how many points have people lost playing blackjack?

**excel** · 03-18-11, 12:57 PM

Fuk BJ that shts rigged for sure. I think these magical winners are fukin sbr staff.

yes lower the limits

i can bet 1500 a hand in BJ but i can only bet 500 on a NCAAB game

hmmmm...

lowering the limits gets my vote or raise the limits in the sportsbook where we have a better chance to win.

**ProfaneReality** · 03-18-11, 01:17 PM

John plants these winners to lure us in... John I got your number pal.

**Ibrakadabra** · 03-18-11, 01:21 PM

How does the awards get added to the profile, is it done automatically after winning?

**excel** · 03-18-11, 01:24 PM

The points system is a -300 line for sbr, it could hit but should they lay HEAVY chalk?
