Security escort to the car .. is maybe the most respect a casino has giving you on the trip.. well done 👏 glad you and the team stayed up 📈
No casino wants to be seen as unsafe. It's strategic for them to not have a robbery in their car park.
Well....they follow you or escort you to the car to take the plate number and find out who you are
@@elchicharron5538 Rental car though.
@@elchicharron5538 casinos have so many surveillance employees trust me they know his plate the minute he came in the building.
@@elchicharron5538 Casino does not have access to DMV records.
The interaction with the last woman who backed you off was entertaining. No arguments, no needless hostility from a boss. Just basically a "Yep, we both know what's going on here. I'll be going now."
Its so nice When the Back up is nice
I mean that’s all it needs to be nowadays. It’s all business. Just a job. Casinos aren’t run by the mob anymore no need to still act like it
Really looked forward to these videos every Wednesday, sad this is the last episode of the series. Did a great series, editing was great, your little vlogs in between clips of the casino were a great narration throughout the videos to keep it easier to understand. Should be very proud of yourself. What a great series. Look forward to more videos to come soon.
Thanks so much Daniel! I appreciate the support throughout the vids. For this series I worked with my mate Jack Howard. He's a fantastic editor and I think we made a pretty good team! So I can't take all the credit. He really made the videos what they are!
Couldn’t of said it better
SAME!!!!!!
@@stevenbridges you mean THE Jack Howard?
Agreed this videos are great!
I used to think card counting seemed like it would be fun, but watching all of these difficult and awkward situations, it's changed my mind. Enjoying watching you do it though.
Like any job, it can become a grind the more you do it and the more automatic it becomes. I will say that the cat-and-mouse element can be a lot of fun for certain kinds of people (and it can be extremely uncomfortable for other types). In general though, the tedious travel and big losses mixed in will temper expectations very, very quickly
Yeah that shit will break you mentally into just wanting to work a regular job. Trust me, I gamble a lot myself. I can definitely tell when the casino is upset. The bad part is that they have all my information because I look young.
The house always wins, and if they don't they'll deny you services hence forth and use all scare tactics to get you out asap
Yeah it’s not worth it
It's just crazy any dealer worth their salt knows in 15-20 minutes what you are doing. The problem is to do it correctly it's 💯 obvious and then comes the hassle.
Awesome series! Looking forward to the next!
Thanks mate 😃
hello
@@Sinotepp wtf lmao dude uploads the weirdest shit ever
@@stevenbridges i think to stop getting the "oh we dont have to cash you out " just bring the laws printed on paper for them XD
@@boazatterton2143 that might not be a bad idea. Also having a cover story like being an advocate for privacy of data to explain resistance to showing ID might help make it look less suspicious when denying to show ID. Of course most of the time they know Steve is counting so its kinda pointless to play this dance.
Damn I so badly want this to be an ongoing series. I know that's not possible due to the exposure he now gets. Great content, always love it.
Why you say that? He ain’t doing nothing wrong
Well said city. In fact, who knows how feasible another trip will even be? But i kinda have a feeling steven will make ot work. Disguises or something
@@BiGSiX56 Doesn't matter, casinos don't like card counters and if they recognize you from something like a popular RUclips channel, they'll be the biggest assholes possible to stop you playing.
@@BiGSiX56 what are you talking about who said anything about doing anything wrong I'm literally saying I love this series each time it has come out. And want more? Lol
@@Chris-vf8fe I hope so lol
From someone who watches A LOT of RUclips, this series is miles ahead of anything I’ve watched. Really fantastic job.
I don't know if it'll be your cup of tea, but might I recommend Jet Lag The Game? It's a really fun channel with high production value and I'm enjoying their current series a lot - racing to see which team can claim more states in 100 hours. The US States Connect 4 series is a great place to start if you want to check out a completed game..
It’s a shame you get so recognized now. We’d all love for this series to be able to be continued
He needs to hire a professional for disguises, then again it would have to somehow match his ID
@Jeffrey Epstein you weren't paying attending. He has had many winning sessions but its expected that you win around 51% of sessions. It's a very small edge.
@Jeffrey Epstein the team were over 90k up before the 100k downswing
@Jeffrey Epstein why so much hate? He’s learnt advantage play to a good standard which is commendable in itself. The casinos wouldn’t stop him playing if they thought they’d win anyway. Gotta play thousands of hands though to guarantee profit. I’ve not counted it up but I strongly suspect Steve is up overall in this series of videos
@Jeffrey Epstein you’re just factually wrong. Card counting works when applied correctly. It’s mathematically proven. Casinos would never back off players if it wasn’t the case
Always a joy. One of my favorite RUclips channels. The production value is great Steven!
Thanks so much David! I worked with my editor friend Jack Howard this time round and it really added!
Agreed, I can’t get enough of these videos!
Great series. I learned to count in my late 20s (I'm almost 70 now.)and played a little but found it took way too much focus for me to keep count. This brought back memories.
I mean thats kind of the point. Learning to count cards isn't hard. Having it become second nature so it doesn't take so much focus is the hard part.
My English brother, you have GOT to stop counting your cash in parking lot like that. You're asking to get robbed doing this.
i need the footage though 😂
In all seriousness, it looks like I just whip out the money without thinking about it. But I'm actually very careful. Well, not so careful that i'm not whipping out the cash, but still...
i find that most youtube videos these days are really fake but i can tell that you are genuine, these are great videos keep it up king
I don't work for the casino any more but the reason they hold you up is so they can take a picture of your face and put you in the system. That's why at the second casino they were already on you. The manager gave just enough time for surveillance to take the pic and write notes. Then he "let you go" because they got what they wanred
old comment I know, but isn't this something they could do just letting you play at the table, coming in through the door, etc...?
@lostconciousness4255 sometime it takes time to run the picture in the system. But they could get you at the door or at the table.
I mean it's their job so at a certain point you can recognize people by the tattoos on their arm or the ring on a woman's hands because the camera is facing down on the table from above. So when a new person walks in someone walking in could look interesting they take the picture with the surveillance camera run the photo through facial recognition and then you're toast
Just found your series over the weekend. It's been a few years since I've counted, so seeing you go through it brings back memories.
Ah thanks Brett! 😃 Why did you quit?
@@stevenbridges A few reasons, former teammate no longer could be trusted to play with the count. If that gives insight. As well I was getting out of college and did want to have some professional experience. Card counter doesn't exactly help with corporate interviews. As well the travelling can be a bit relentless and I'm someone who likes road trips and travel. And I looked young so it really makes them question how does someone who looks 20-22 have money to play few hundred dollar hands? But it does have me questioning brushing up on my skills and re-certifying my game. I do find it funny you go D1 for down negative count. I always did P1 or N1 etc. For positive negative. Never thought of down.
@@brettd.watson1821 hi, did you get backed off often because of your young age?
@@100100freak Hi, it wouldn't directly lead to a back off. But you dealth more with the ID dance like Steven but its just to even get to the tables to actually play. And it did raise ewbrows more when they see a guy whose 22-23 who looks 18-19 betting a hand in hundreds. A benefit though is it helped me by looking somewhat legitimate for wonging in/out because I can't afford to lose or don't know what I'm doing. Where it helped to have a team with a BP to signal to that could play larger hands.
This channel's content is so interesting because of the fact there's literally a limit to how much of it (of this type) you can make. Choosing to show your face on these videos is a massive sacrifice and I commend you for it.
I would have liked to hear more about what was different with player 2 to essentially get no back offs and huge sessions. Great series!
I was wondering that too! He had lots of time played with hardly any back offs
I was thinking about this as well. Could've been an older or female player, Steven talked earlier about how being a single white male in your 20s is the no. 1 counting demographic, so if you're outside those demographics they might be less likely to suspect you. I was also looking at the winnings, which are obviously subject to variance, but they're just about in the range of the other players. That could mean that even though they do more hours, they bet higher when the count is low frequently causing them to lower their expected hourly rates. It could also mean they just didn't have a great run, just a good one and their EV was actually really high and they got extremely lucky with the backoffs but unlucky with the cards.
This series has to be one of the most bingeable ones on yt! Something about the money, the feeling I could do it possibly if I spent ages learning, the conflict in the backoffs! It is so exciting and I'm trying to get all my friends to watch it now!
Loved this series Steven, keep up the great work!
This has been the highlight of my Wednesdays. Looking forward to more if you're inclined.
I wish you all the casino wealth imaginable Steven!!!!
Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching and commenting 😃
Not sure why this was recommended to me but it was enjoyable to watch👊🏻😁🇦🇺🍻🍻Great cash out buddy
Your channel is ultimate asmr 👌
Amazing season Steve. I can't wait for the next. I know that it's probably a couple of months delayed, but we're right there with you in the highs and the lows.
Thanks Spolt! 😃
Just binged your whole Black Jack series in less than a day. As a poker pro for 6 years, those are great fun to watch videos and very inciteful. I knew the basics but didn't know about true count or strategy variations on high counts. It's got me wanting to learn card counting or write some training/reference software that players could use to schedule study time for perfect strategy and practise keeping the count.
We need a longer series lol. Thanks for the awesome content!
haha! I don't think I could do a trip much longer without having no where to play these days 😂
It's wild to me that they'll back you off after $650 in 20 minutes. We're not talking 5-figure marathon sessions. Gives you an idea of how much money they're pulling from the 'average' player when a $650 take is raising flags.
Great series, Steven! Helped me get through the back end of the semester by eagerly awaiting the Wednesday uploads
Thanks Rory! 😃 Hope it went well!
I loved the bit about wanting to quit while he was ahead. He *knows* that continuing to play is statistically the best thing to do, but still secretly hopes to be backed off. That just shows the incredible psychological power of gambling, and should serve as a warning to anyone.
Can't believe it's already the last episode. Every time I saw the notification that you uploaded I was so happy. Truly one of the best series on RUclips!
Wow, thank you! Time did go fast ay
awesome, happy that you got a big win in the end after all that backing off
Thank you so much for the support for this season! I'v'e been blown away by all the comments! (Will be replying to as many as I can!)
*Please follow me on instagram/twitter: @StevenBridges*
I'll try and not leave it too long before the next upload!
It’s the least you deserve
Steven, I just starting watching and with this being the last segment of the series, in advance, THANK YOU so, so much for making this. One of the best series I've ever watched, great story telling, and just enough detail regardless of where you are in everything gambling/blackjack/counting experience 🔥🔥😁😁🙌
Hey man, just wanted to say that you’re the only creator who has genuinely made me consider getting nebula. You did this season so well
What can I say, you ended it on a high... You do a very good job of explaining things in layman's terms so that even people who don't count cards can understand. I look forward to your next series.
Congrats on the HUUUUGE win to end the trip! As always, appreciate the work you put into these videos. Looking forward to the next season!
Thanks so much! It felt sooooo good :D
Sad to see this series come to a end. may have to watch it again, thanks for making these great videos Steven!
Thanks so much for watching the whole series!
@@stevenbridges it was a pleasure!
These series are by far my favourite content on yt. Incredibly interesting and with superb editing, the only problem is I binge them all in a day so the algorithm doesn't recommend ur videos when they're posted so I end up being a week late to the party 😭😭
fr. Watch the whole thing in one sit haha
Just binge watched the entire series and I must say this is one of the most interesting and unique things I've seen on RUclips, well done!
This series was well worth the wait, appreciate you putting in so much effort and i hope to see more! I know the youtube channel makes it tough but I believe!
-$20
@@Mizai +Appreciating creators that make content you enjoy. Bad mind set.
@@MindOfCrim I think they were just making a joke/ reference to how steven puts his losses on screen
@@nathanvanderpool1175 you might be correct lol wasn’t thinking about that
Very kind of you! Thanks for the support 😃 there will be more counting content and I’ve got a bunch of other ideas you’ll like I’m sure 😃
Got recommended your videos randomly, and you've inspired me to buy a deck of cards and a shuffler to learn myself!
I'm going to miss the weekly graph. Another superb and highly entertaining series, thanks for everything you gave into making it for us 👏🏻
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - your ad reads keep people engaged. You’re a sponsors dream.
What an end to a roller coaster of a trip. So, so glad the last casino didn't back you off harshly and while there's a hiccup, at least they got the job done. Well done to you and the team, good stuff, dude! ♥
Loved this series, probably even more than the first trip!! Can't wait to see you uploading again in a few months!
Hey Steven! I always really enjoy watching your videos, please make sure to keep posting 😊😊
Thanks so much! Yes, i'll try not to leave it too long
That last hand was so amazing to see, especially in contrast to the last trip. Great video.
When the casinos think they're above the law or they can make up BS on the spot always humors me.
Yeah it's an interesting way of running a business 😂
I’ve only just found your videos and this series was incredible, pleas make more soon!
sucks to see it come to an end, such an amazing series!
Good to see you took some precauctions with that amount of cash especially in Mississippi. I have a friend of mine got robbed after driving over a 100 miles from Tunica. They literally followed him until he stopped.
They got you so quick because all it takes is 1 Phone Call: GINGER BEARD!! Shave it off! Wear a fake black beard - anything!
Upon first glance I swore you wrote _GINGER BREAD_ (as if it's some unnecessary codeword talk they'd choose instead of just saying red or ginger BEARD), lmaooo... But your comment was pretty smart advice cause he eventually does just that. 🧔🏻♂️👌🏻
Stumbled across your Chanel at the start of this series and found it absolutely fascinating, looked forward to watching each episode. Keep it Up
One of the best series of all of youtube, excited to see this episode and ofc the next season :))
Thanks so much! 😃
Huge congrats on the big win to finish, Steven!
Really enjoyed this series and will no doubt be going back to it in the future when I'm bored.
Now time for a series where you do a similar trip playing by the book and seeing how much you lose 😂 loved this series!!
Prob would’ve won the same or more in much less time and travel 🤣
such a great journey. cant wait to see if you will do more trips like this
I'm SO curious to know what Teammate #2 does that separates him from you all. How can he average almost 9 hours and rarely ever get backed off? He didn't win nearly as much per hour as the other two, so perhaps that was it (didn't draw as much attention), but somehow I doubt that's the whole story. He/she must be SO good at blending in, would love to learn from them, but obviously they can't reveal their identity OR secrets without blowing the whole thing up xD
thought the same maybe the Ev is not that good because he makes cover plays
Just Binged The Whole Series! Subbed
Loved this series, dont know how I saw it but I Binged watched al of these
I just binged watched this entire season. I hope there are more! I don’t even play blackjack - but this was so entertaining.
switched from using Ms to Ds as the negative count and i feel its quicker. thanks for convincing me to make the change
It's a fantastic series with great presentation, i get the feeling that this is an epic TV/HBO show but as it is, this is unline anything available. Incredible, never break your streak!
Haha yasss! Entire series was killer! Love it all Steven, glad the trip went well for you 🔥🔥🔥
"No one's gonna rob my socks"......I'm soooo glad you didn't stop in west Memphis 🤣🤣🤣
hahah I did for one night! I was.... a bit uneasy 😂
This has been my absolute favourite series on RUclips!! Was eagerly awaiting the release every Wednesday. Glad the trip went well Steve - so happy the variance finally turned in your favour. Hope to see more content from you in the future 👍
Greetings from Australia!!
I got so hooked on this series, and enjoyed that positive end to this trip! Amazing results and keeping track of all the stats too. Great work Steven!
I've already watched this over on Nebula but I've dropped in here to like the video, and say congrats on a fantastic series and great success overall!!
Thanks for stopping by to help the youtube algo! 😃
Beat the Odds is by far the best thing I've watched on RUclips...
And I've watched A LOT of RUclips.
Love your videos! Cheers to the new year!
Thank you so much! Huge compliment that 😃
Fantastic series. I looked forward to the new video every Wednesday and was never disappointed. Every episode was worth the watch and had me enjoying every second. I was checking youtube all day for the last episode release!
Thanks so much!
I just found your channel in the comments of a Captain Disillusion video, and now I'm obsessed with card counting. Glad there's a new video during my binging!! What luck!!
Absolutely love this series. Thanks for making these, looking forward to the next one
I loved this series as I’m sure many others did. Incredibly fun to watch. Great editing as well shoutout to the editor!
It will be difficult to do again in the US. Not sure about the gambling laws there but maybe a Europe trip next
The intelligence of card counting is pure skill, I can't believe you're also a magician which my best friend is and still astounds me with his show
What an amazing and enjoyable series, every Wednesday I was buzzing for the next episode. Looking forward to what is next!
My friend recommended your channel to me, so glad he did
This has to be my favorite series I’ve ever seen on RUclips. Please continue making these sort of videos!
This is the most interesting and thrilling youtube project I discovered this year!!!
Can‘t wait to see the next trip of yours!
May the odds be with you! 🎉❤
I've been watching this series whenever recommended by the algorithm and forgot all about it. Just remembered I've been missing out on the finale so I looked up "how to card count" and finally made my way back to this channel. Subbing so I don't have to rely on youtube recommended to find these gems.
Been going through a really tough time recently with mental health and this series I just binged and it’s amazing. Loved every single episode of this! Please continue counting and making money off those thieves haha! Love it! Happy New Year.
Love these videos! I was so happy to see it back, but now sad that it's ended. I live around the areas you've played this trip and it's been cool to see who I want to give business to and who can kick rocks.
Absolutely buzzing to see you leave on such a high. As a poker player, there's no better feeling than crushing your last session before leaving the country. Good going lads!
Don’t usually like videos or comment but made sure to give all of your videos a like. No one is putting out content like this and it is not easy to make content like this. Very enjoyable and I appreciate you making these videos.
Congratulations on wrapping up such a fantastic series Steven! By reading the comments, I'm obviously not alone in saying this has been one of the most enjoyable series I've watched on RUclips. Can't wait to see what you have planned next!
Really enjoyed this, looking forward to seeing what's next for you...
so glad i waited to watch all these at once one of the best youtube series around
Thank you for making this series. It is absolutely fascinating and entertaining. I hope we will see more in this series.
Thanks for posting all the food photos.
Going to miss these card counting series of videos. Very interesting
I broke my arm so watching these is always the highlight of my day.
Great, informative series. I always questioned why counters didn't hit the smaller casinos where I would have assumed security wasn't as good as Vegas, Atlantic City, Reno, etc... Eye opening to see that counting is maybe more prevalent at the smaller places than I thought and they're up to par with catching on!
Glad you ended your last session with a huge profit from my hometown casino!! Would've been cool to run into you. Love the series!
Thanks so much!!
New to watching these kinds of videos. Man I was on the edge of my seat on those last few, but you got it! Congrats!
It’s crazy how fast the pit bosses switch up when you start crushing them
This is by far my favorite channel on youtube at the moment. So interesting!
All the luck dude. You are a trip to watch. Keep it up. We all with you.
Fantastic series’s Steven , can’t wait for the next one or maybe some more footage from this one that didn’t make the cut @stevenbridges
YEYEYE I've been watching this whole series in south america! HAHAHA I'm cheering for this dude! Good card counter! This channel is a master piece!
Thank you for taking me along on this trip with you.
You should learn a little spycraft. You have a very recognizable face. There are a lot of little things you could do to completely change your appearance so you won't get recognized within 10 minutes.
Sad to see this series end but really enjoyed the ride. Keep up the exceptional work Steven!
Just a question... is there a reason you cant cash out half of your chips, wander around for a bit and then cash out the rest in a separate transaction? Surely that would reduce the hassle?
GG to that final Casinos security team , let you clean them on the upswing !
What a great watch this has been, I find you to be a very interesting and captivating guy and what an awesome series, sad it’s over … hopefully just for now but very much looking forward to what’s next… Thankyou Steve🙌
Glad you enjoyed it
