A BIG part of my game is switching back and forth between one and two (and even three) hands depending on true count and Ace count.
Where in Vegas have people noticed casinos that 1) disallow this or 2) def. allow it?
[My game: 2D, 100 unit, 1-9 spread)
Thanx
"...10% of your win as a diversionary move, yet you want to spread to 2 and 3 spots."
What are you saying?"
The female partner isn't paid till later. What does that have to do with multiple hands?
"We call those girls "escorts" and I have yet to meet one that works on a commission basis. Even if she were naked it would not cover your play."
Please try to respond to the point. I am talking about REAL actresses (or wanna be's) who could use a few bucks. I already have 4 that have shown interest and they are not call girls.
"Yes, I do know of houses where there exists the game you inquire about, at least to two spots (don't know about spreading to three), but they are few and far between."
Well, what are they???
"Most in Las Vegas that I am familiar with will not permit that kind of play."
OK What are those?
"You wouldn't last for long anyway."
I am already doing this multiple hand play at two non-Vegas casinos and they pay no mind. Having said that, my act is pretty good so I can distract them well much of the time, at the 25-125 level that is. (Averaging 13 units win per hour for this year)
Your style of play is the swiftest surest route to being 86'd in Vegas.
NO casino will tolerate that style, not even for RED action.
I just called Mandalay Bay BJ pit yesterday and they confirmed that they do allow switching from 1 to multiple hands at any time during play at their double-deck tables.
I am going to call all the decent double-deck games in the next few weeks and then post the answers on this site.
I think that will be somewhat factual information.
Switching from 1 to 3 hands will bring major attention to your game. If you're spreading from 1 hand of 1 to 3 hands of 3 and betting according to the count then you will be picked off. If your BR is big enough and up can camouflage your betting spread along with a good act then you might get away with it. Playing 3 hands is not normal. Most big players do not do it. You cause more attention to yourself that way. Playing with a lady partner might help with the spread if you're creative.
. . . which seems to be atypical for this forum.
Having said that, my act is pretty good so I can distract them well much of the time, at the 25-125 level that is.
Only the lowest of the low-roller sawdust joints should be concerned with 25-125. No act is needed.
At what level do you think you need a good act the strip casinos? 100-400x2 hands is my guess.
I was constantly being challenged there for awhile. I will tone it down.
There is a "can't do" perspective on this forum. People keep saying you'll be backed off or barred with the stuff I have been doing for years, albeit with due care.
I wonder how many have actually had the kind of backoff's that they describe?
I take my approach from Ian Andersen's books and they work great with the house.
Anyway, next month I jump to the $50-$200 x two hands level so I'll keep everyone posted as to my success.
