Always has been. I used to do parlays on soccer before they legalized it in the us. After a very lucky streak I got banned. Indian casinos will call ice on illegals that win a big jackpot to avoid paying them. Vegas will kick you out for winning as well

Did you think that was a joke? Casinos were started by criminals. The literal mafia. They have sliders in slot machines that change how badly they can fuck you over. There are federal limits on what level the sliders can be at. Yes, you read that right, the government sets the limit on how badly a casino can fuck you. They're aware its all a scam

For profit politics. You can't even call it corruption when it is entirely legal. Casinos buy politicians who create laws to protect them. The more the casinos make, the more the state makes through taxes. The interests of the individual are not of concern.

Better question is how the casinos are allowed to openly launder billions of dollars while being empty. They still make more money than ever because the business is cleaning drug money and fraud let government contracts. Those who win big are probably being paid off.

People get caught when they get too greedy counting, if you come in with $2k and are up to $7500 in 25 minutes, they're going to fucking know. Just bounce after you make $1k-ish and youre done for the day. Most people fail at this one little aspect... know when to walk. I have this system then my fucking wife drops $5 into slots like a monkey and wins $30k.

>whole story
They use their knowledge of the game to leverage probabilities to their favor, they then notice someone breaking the projected result of their game and watch them more closely, they then tell them they can no longer play for "card counting," if they give a reason, when card counting is just understanding the math of the game to leverage probability into your favor. There is nothing unbelievable about it, and it doesn't warrant suspicion of nefarious activity left out of the story. If they were actually cheating it wouldn't be a case of cutting them off, they would be arresting them.

The funny part is that they are legally obliged to both let you play a running game to the end (eg. blackjack) and pay you out afterwards without providing any sort of identification (unless your wins exceed a certain sum). Majy Casinos are insanely hostile if you win too much tho and will unlawfully refuse to cash you out and even end the current hand. This is why any serious person playing for profit, like a card counting team should run a hidden camera at all times. Casinos are criminals with thug security and often violate your rights.

This, even those card tables, slot machines, and pull tabs at the bars. Most states require them to post what the upper limit for pay outs are, this is the slider.
For example, the local bars all use a service that claims their games pay out 85%. In theory if you play long enough your winnings will equal 85¢ to every dollar gambled.

They usually don't cut your winnings off unless you are breaking the "house rules". And every single person who breaks the house rules makes it try to sound like they were just "beating them at their own game". Meanwhile they are putting on mustaches and wigs to hide their identity while placing bets.

As long as the people are able to collect their winnings before they have to stop playing, I am ok with this. But people should know going in that this is a game where once you figure out the rules you can no longer play.

Single and double deck games are pretty common at Indian casinos. it attracts players. They know who is counting and who isn't... its all computerized. The chips and the cards have rfid chips in them. They know how much you bet and what the exact count is when you make that bet. They only kick you out if you successfully have an edge on them on the mid to high roller tables. For the 10 dollar tables or whatever they will let you count all day. The problem with this of course is that with only at 2-3% edge and you count perfect you have to play 8 hours a day to make like 70 grand a year. I decided early on in my blackjack career that it wasn't worth it... it would be easier to get a masters degree in finance and make 70K a year sitting at a desk.

The only joy to be found in blackjack is finding a table full of gook women, preferably sitting on the right, taking every retarded hit you can until they start bitching at you, then asking the dealer to silence them, which will lead to an explanation you can play however you want. Two or three cycles of this and you'll have your own table to walk away from in triumph.

Isn't the point of the casinos in Vegas that you get up a bunch, cash out and go to the next casino? Even then, if you are up a bunch, they'll phone ahead so the next casino can try to fuck you.

You can get an edge if you can count effectively. The edge is only a little bit smaller than the 3:2 game. Its just not what people think it is. Its possible to count perfectly and still be unlucky. You could lose for a week straight and like 15-20% of your bankroll. But if you keep playing eventually it will even out and then you get like 3% profits. Its really hard fucking work.. so even if they let you do it its harder work then a real job.

The MIT blackjack team was different because they used spotters. They would bet the minimum and signal the big player to come in when the count is high. This type of strategy will totally destroy the casino and they will most certainly figure out what you are doing if you try that.

Iol its a very known thing. This isnt a new thing or heckin conpiracy.

If its a hotel or casino with other things, they will often try to entice you to spend your money on some of their other stuff, even throw whores at you to get their money back or pause your winnings. Typically last resort is to throw you out, or if they are just too busy to deal with you.

This isn’t new. The laws in the US mostly protect the house. They can do all sorts of shady shit. They're in the business of making money, not giving it out. Markets are too stupid to adjust for this because the people who gamble are stupid.

This is a core failure of liberalism and free market policies. Governments allow retards to make retarded choices. Just ban gambling and shoot people who do it illegally. Problem solved.

A few years ago so many defended Twitter and others for banning things and people saying they're private companies.
Why don't they ever bring that up again?
More relevant, we've seen a number of private colleges and universities expel students and ban clubs and everyone gets angry at them.

LARP detected.
Counting cards in Blackjack has incredibly low margins. Basically it just inverts the house margin.
Instead of the house making 2%, you make 2%.
>if you come in with $2k and are up to $7500 in 25 minutes
You're not going to ever make this with low Blackjack margins unless:
1. You get really lucky - in which case no they're not going to know you're counting cards. Lucky customers are happy customers. They need happy customers to get them addicted to gambling so they can milk them later.
2. You hit a jackpot bonus in some casinos. You can definitely improve the odds of this by counting cards, but its unlikely a single or double deck casino would even do this. Also indistinguishable from pure luck.

Yeah that is basically what I was saying. I hate people who say "Lets go to the casino I can count cards and I win every time". These are the most retarded fucking people who have zero understanding of statistics.. They only remember when they get lucky. But are down overall. They are gut players. Gut players are annoying because they always get lucky when you are trying to explain to them why its impossible to win. Further re-enforcing their idiotic superstitions about the game.

I used to count cards back in the single and double deck days. You could even find single deck games off strip but they always messed with the payouts. If you tipped well and weren't a dick about it they would tolerate you. I got banned from an Indian casino in a certain state after a while but so many people do it in Nevada I never had a huge problem. Just don't be a dick about it and TIP WELL. Share the wealth and they're happy to have you.

This.
I don't care for gambling, but I went to Vegas once. I played a slot machine, one bet, and won like 112 dollars. I left the slot machine. I plated some spinny wheel thing with a Japanese lady and we were winning until a guy came over and stuck some key in it, I guess to reset it, and I lost twice in a row so I left. I played a few other games but it was kinda boring, so I quit. I did play another slot machine at the airport because it was in a smokers tent and I hit for over 200. I think I walked away with around 500 all told.
I also went to the horse racing track, in my home state, and won like 50 bucks, and never went back. I don't get the thrill of gambling. If I win I want to keep it. I only did it for the experience of it anyway.
