kind of a long question that requires some background ....here goes
i live in RI and im about 15 mins from foxwoods...i play blackjack regularly....dont get to go as much as id like because of the gf...she comes most of the time and doesnt mind me giving her shopping money from winnings....been trying to convince her its a 2nd source of income....shes not very keen on the idea of me going regularly by myself though.....
i always play two hands at a time...and try to make it the last two spots on the table so i can control it somewhat.....15 dollar minimum....sometimes upping my bet into the 25-50 range on gut...but mostly staying in the 15 dollar range....play perfect strategy most of the time with a few deviations...maybe doubling a few hands i normally shouldnt...but otherwise...pretty by the book
i havent had a losing trip in the last 50 or so visits....the one losing trip i had came after a night of drinking....and i started upping my bets ridiculously after losing only a small portion of roll early....i really do look at this as an isolated incident...where i started playing different than i usually do......the smallest amount ive taken home was 165...and that was pretty recent...was actually up in the 350 range and played a few 50 dollar hands because i knew id be leaving soon and i decided to push it....most ive taken home is about 700...probably could have stayed and pushed...but i was happy with the amount and decided to walk away...most of the time im in the 165-350 range with what im taking home...i stand behind playing two hands at a time always....and having a good size bankroll to play with....and only cashing in about 1/3 of your roll when you first sit down...
heres my question i guess...
i know a guy that was a few years older than me in high school...hes a pitboss now...was a dealer for awhile there...used to tell me stories about dealing to antoine walker and ben affleck upstairs in the high roller area....dont see him much except at out Fantasy football draft once a year.....but he had a theory when he was still a dealer...that u could go around to every bj table in the casino and get up one hand at each...and walk away with some money.....when he mentioned it around a group of people it was quickly shot down ....but he stood by it.....i even thought it was crazy....but the more i play...i think its actually feasible....every time i play and sit at a table...im always up a hand at some point....
eventually ill give this a try...but i usually sit down and get sucked in to just sitting there and playing....as long as you have no issue with pissing other people off by jumping in and out of tables
im sure most will point to times when they lost 5 or so hands in a row at some point...which happens....and say this isnt possible....but with doubling and splitting....and playing two hands at time...i think its definitley possible....although ive yet to actually test it though....and then of course there is the issue of how many people are sitting at each table....obviously playing one on one with the dealer isnt desireable even if you are playing multiple hands....
also...if you do think its possible....obviously at a place like foxwoods there is good money to be made short term...you could hit up all of the bj tables at both ends...then walk over to the mgm side and make a few bucks over there.....but eventually theyd catch on and probably put and end to it....but a place like vegas, with many options, could have u hittng up a different spot(or a couple) on a daily basis.......anyone think this is possible to grind out a good living trying to get up one hand at each bj table in a casino??
