Have you heard people talk about - Tonvelyn Xiylijah Trick - (search on google )? It is a great one of a kind product for learning how to make fast money using this lotto system minus the headache. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my best friend Jordan finally got amazing results with it.

    Ha ha! I laughed a lot watching this! Especially the 'hot dog' story. I had a chatty guy beside me when I was counting cards and I was impressed that I was holding my own despite the distraction. I talked briefly as much as I could without screwing up my count. After going up and down, I had a $40 profit when they shut down the table for the night. Me and the guy were walking away and I apologized to him that I seemed so unfriendly but that I was counting cards. He laughed and said, 'I figured that's what you were doing!' and we chatted for a bit about that.

Jerry's inconspicuous issue was that he was about 6' 10" tall. Imagine trying to be inconspicuous when your a card counter and 6 foot 10 inches tall.

    Hi Colin! I'm croupier in Poland and I'd like to learn about card counting but I have some questions.
    Normally we cut about 1/3 of the cards or when we think someone's counting we cut about half of the shoe. Also first five cards don't play. Does it matter in your strategy? 6 decks shoe

    • @Blackjackapprenticeship
      @Blackjackapprenticeship  6 лет назад +2

      Hey there. The first 5 cards thing doesn't really matter at all. That's essentially cutting off 5 extra cards, or an extra .1 decks. If you cut the shoe in half on a card counter that sucks for the card counter. It's possible that the game is still beatable, but probably not worth it. Other than that, it all comes down to rules, table limits, and the skills of the card counter.

      I use a player card every time I gamble but I dont let the casino or the pit bosses know how much I win. I know how most pit bosses caculate the number. Most pit bosses simple look at you when you buy in then they look at what you color up. The difference between the to is the win/loss they track. If you pocket off a few of the highest deminotion chip you normally bet the pit will have a real hard time tracking you accurately. You must do this slowly to not be to obvious about it like putting a chip in your pocket after a win. Especially if there is other players on the game betting the same color as you. Don't do this if you are solo on the table. For getting comps your first two bets are extremely important most pit bosses write down your first bet your two as your average bet so bet at the top of your range first bet. Some casinos call the pit if the cash out is big enough at the cage. The way to throw off this number is not cashout all you have at the cage at once. Cashout what you colored up. Use the chips you pocketed as a buy in at another casino close by. That is how to make yourself a loser to the casino when you are really winning money. Dont believe this works keep track of your wins and loses then ask the casino for a win/loss form for the year that way you can see how much you threw off there number by.
