    3:15 I think that is the sum off all the plastic bins and not just the one. Gus told Walt he needed 200 pounds a week and earlier we saw 5 or 6 bins loaded up on a hand truck.

    Counting cards isn’t illegal, but if you do it well enough to consistently win (which the vast majority of people don’t) the casinos can ban you for it.

      Kinda. It's completely legal, but casinos ban you as soon as they spot that you're doing it whether you've won a penny or lost £10K. They don't care whether you're winning consistently or not. They'll just ban you on the spot regardless, despite it being totally legal and not even really count as "cheating."

      I was a table games dealer for many years and we would sometimes limit the card counters to playing at a measly $5 a hand (which infuriates them). The way a lot of them do it is they’ll play at minimum until they know “the count is good,” where they’ll then suddenly jump to max bet. So after getting restricted they’ll have to sit there playing minimum even when they know they could hit big. Don’t even have to ban them to get them to leave.

      Ohh that's right! I always think its actually an illegal thing. Makes Skylar's story an even better cover for Walt then since its not something technically illegal then!

    Gus gets $96 million because he is taking the financial risk. He paid to build the super lab. He built the distribution network. He provides security. That's why he gets $96 million to Jesse and Walt's $3 million.

    • @rockerfish223

      Gus doesn’t even get $96 million, he still has to pay his dealers in all five states, his Business Mommy and his Business Daddy at Madrigal, his people at the factory farm and the laundry, Mike, Victor, probably Gale as well to keep his mouth shut and get him back once Walt is done.
      $96 million is about how much Gus grosses in 3 months from selling all that meth, but everyone involved in the operation, Walt and Jesse included, gets a cut.
      You’re right that Gus gets the biggest cut cause he’s taking the biggest risk and he put everything together, but he probably only nets about $30 million.

    I know that they are trying to add plot points to the show, but the idea that Gus is so careful in all aspects of business, but doesn’t have a built in “money laundering” system and just expects Walt and Jesse (especially Jesse) to know to launder their money and not just go out and spend it and lead a trail back to Gus, is frankly laughable.

    • @rockerfish223
      @rockerfish223 8 дней назад

      I could be wrong here but if Gus launders money for Walt and Jesse, or any of his other full-time criminal employees, and just one of them gets arrested, couldn’t Gus and the whole operation go down with that one person? The way I understand it, money laundering is about creating a fake paper trail for the IRS that doesn’t link you to activity that the cops or feds can arrest you for. If a guy gets arrested for dealing drugs on the street and his fake money trail is discovered, couldn’t the authorities follow it back to Gus if he was the one who set it up?

    I've read Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis. Although I am NOT a literary snob! I still had to look up what "Kafkaesque" meant, because I did not get the same from reading that book as the definition.
    I used to play a lot of poker, and played blackjack in casinos as well. Counting cards is not illegal (it's just being good at math, that's not illegal), you will not go to jail unless croocked cops have some type of illegl deal with the casinos to trump up some made up charges against you (which I have heard of happening). It's like Allen says in The Hangover, "it's not illegal, it's just fround upon". However, casinos will and do have the right to ask you to leave if they catch you or even suspect you of couunting cards. The trick is just don't get caught. It used to be dangerous, might still be, because like in the movie 21, they would just take you in the backroom and break your hand or kneecaps (that's when casinos were more mofia run). Still probably not a good idea to get caught. You are in a situation where you are not in control. So, no telling what might happen.

      I just now read “Metamorphosis” for the first time ever, and consulted with my AI extensively on it. I find “Metamorphosis” to be mostly non-absurd, a story about people who have perfectly human reactions to a difficult situation. Whatever “Kafkaesque-ness” there is in this BB episode, I’m thinking it must come from other of Kafka’s works, or perhaps from the typical ill-informed pop-culture-never-read-it interpretations that float around in the collective conscious. Very similar to the pop-culture takes on Jesus, who is not, in fact, a nice guy at all, at least if you actually read the story

    Walt: “What world do you live in?”
    Jesse: “One where the little guy doesn’t get shafted while the rich guy rakes in the bucks!”
    Me (shouting at Jesse): “What world do you live in? (And can I go live there?)”

    Jesse is trying to have some kind of control over his life instead of Walt bossing him around every decision he makes

    I think the shadow covering half of Gus' face symbolizes the "two faces" he wears. Or perhaps the writers are playing a much deeper game 😏😉

  • @TheRepublican777
    @TheRepublican777 9 дней назад +1

    Jesse doesn't know that their three is split because Walt chose to share Walt was supposed to get three million and Gus is supposed to pay his assistant separately maybe 1 in a half or two million so normally Gus would be paying more to both but Gus didn't want Jesse to work but Walt talked him into it and he decided to pay Jesse out of his pocket, at least that is the way I understand it. And Jesse is not appreciating that Gus is giving them security too and he has many other businesses with employees he has to pay as well they don't have to do the selling or the leg work they just cook and everything is hidden and protected.

    • @rockerfish223
      @rockerfish223 9 дней назад +1

      And before they threw in with Gus, Jesse’s plan was to have Combo and Skinny Pete sell off 42lbs of meth 1/16th of an ounce at a time in one city, and he would split 80% of that final revenue with Walt. Maybe Combo and Skinny Pete could’ve moved all that product on their own if they hadn’t died and bailed, respectively, but it would take FOREVER.
      With Gus moving 2400lbs of their product across five whole states, Walt and Jesse make their money way faster, and they’re not the one eating thousands of dollars in lost product every time a dealer gets ripped off, killed, or arrested.

    • @TheRepublican777
      @TheRepublican777 9 дней назад

      @rockerfish223 yup he doesn't think of how good he has it he is just mad that he has no control over his situation all decisions are made by Walt even though he ultimately still could have said no but I think he kind of knew what Walt was doing and he knew and that he got him to admit that his cook was good too because he works so hard on it he finally got that acknowledgment but he knows he doesn't stand a chance out there cooking by himself with Walt cooking for Gus out in the territory and he knows that Walt is not going to stop trying to make him not press charges against Hank and he knows that if he really turns Walt's name in it will ruin everything he will still get in trouble so he knows this is technically his best option for the both of them but he hates it that Walt got him to do it he wants some control over his life and he doesn't like that he caves to him every time yet he still continues to do it lol he is also still trying to figure out how to be that top bad guy that he thinks he is.

    I'm not sure what it is that's making you so much cuter in this particular reaction but it's true. Cute with a capital Q!
