Used to count a few years ago, but gave it up due to heat.
Now I'm unemployed, but I assume the heat and barrings are even worse today.
How long can a black-chip player last in Las Vegas, assuming wonging and only playing 1-2 shoes per casino in a day, then skipping for 2-3 days?
Thanks for any input.
You will get a better answer to your question on Green Chip
Your plan will not work out in many small casinos in Vegas where the PCs are very likely to remember a black-chippers in an extented period of time. The main set back of going professionals appears to be the bankroll concern, particularly if you bet black. As barring is concern, I personally almost never see it happens in my real play and your schedule should buy your considerably amount of longevity.
Good luck.
And if black-chip play is no longer a workable option, what would be the point of subscribing? I'm broke enough as it is.
As far as being a casino employee, the only "employment" I have had with the casinos has been as an unappreciated freeloading card-counter whom they have "fired" on several occasions. If Dave Matthews wants to chip in, he can almost certainly tell you exactly who I am, right down to the brand of beer I used to keep in my fridge -- not that I'd want him to mention my name on a board.
I lived LV 3 years playing hit and run (bet small, push bets with parlaying style, leave after big bet) and team. I think you can do it for several months but it's hard and grinding. Foreign countries offer better return if you know where to find and learn shuffle tracking etc. I play at a country that have games with positive off-top so I can flat bet and make money on average. You have to do the leg work I am affraid. Counters who know good game will not tell as it may hurt their profits. BJ Forum does report that Russia and Romania have good games such as ES, triple, and Joker. High return come with risk nowadays, I am affraid. Money will not grow on trees and LV $ are not greener.
who heard that money grows on trees in LV. What the hell, he thought he would check it out. When he got there he saw a tree shimmering off in the distance. He headed towards the tree and when he was half way there, he suddenly stopped. No, I'm not going to work my first day in LV.
Don't know where the joke came from.:)
