I really appreciate all the favorable comments about the movie. I've been out of town for a while and haven't been able to respond to everyone who has praised the film on these pages, but it really means a lot to me.
Making this movie was a great adventure. There were times when I would shoot an interview with a counter-catcher or a casino surveillance man during the day and then go out to play for the case study that same night. It was exhausting work, but really exciting. Meeting and interviewing the big names in the field was also great -- putting a face to the name and all that. I think the people who read these pages can appreciate that more than most, so I'm very glad people here seem to like the movie.
Thanks again, David Layton
David, I am pretty sure my wife is getting me your DVD for X-mas. It sounds great.
Will you be "parlaying" this potential success into a reality TV show? That would be a great show, following a group of card counters throughout sessions and meetings.
Just a thought....
David,
Your documentary was well-worth the price...matter of fact, you should charge MORE!
Anyway, I was amazed at the interviews. It was a coup pulling those off...congratulations....Did you sell your soul to the devil to get those guys???
How could you have kept a straight face during that Andy Anderson interview? How could you have kept from shouting to him what an a**hole he was? Yeah, I know you had to be impartial, but I'll bet it was tough.
Great documentary, BTW. I know it was hard work.

I cannot recommend that DVD strong enough. A work of passion that speaks the truth.
Congratulations, Mr Layton.
David I think your documentary is brilliant. I has broad appeal for civilians and is a must see for anyone involved in the casino industry � from both sides of the fence.
The interviews were very well put together and as Cyrus said will become a collector�s item.
The fact that you were able to obtain the interviews shows the respect that you have within the community.
I have never really understood why Andy Anderson is so reviled, now I see, he really is a fuckwit.
The most I have every paid for gambling related reference/training products is several hundred dollars for Casino Verite and roulette stuff by Laurance Scott � your documentary is worth at least that to me.
On another note I have also recently viewed �Casino Abuse of Skilled Players�. This video left me very disturbed;
I have been thrown out of casinos around the world; my barings have always been done by senior management and always with courtesy and a degree of respect. Whenever I have read about rough treatment to players I always thought they probably brought it on themselves by being assholes or at least overly arrogant.
I see now this is not the case.
As a gaming risk consultant I make sure that casino personnel understand the distinction between those that affect the outcome of a game (cheating) and those that predict the outcome (advantage players).
I make it clear that advantage players should be respected for their skill, when all is said and done; advantage players are smarter than the people who designed the games in the first place. (This does not mean that they should be allowed to continue playing)
As for distributing photo�s and other player details, the jury�s still out as far as I am concerned;
Advantage players share information to further their common cause, casinos do the same thing � it makes sense to share information on threats of any description that are common to the industry.
The problem is that they do not make a distinction � respectable and honest citizens are lumped together with bar flies and criminals.
I suspect that it is the information sharing agencies that are the rout of the problem; you can see this in Anderson�s attitude to advantage players.
The Griffin people and other information sharing bodies should be fought tooth and nail through the courts as long as they continue to besmirch honest citizens in this manner.
I would like to see a case brought against these people; at least it would bring the situation out in the open where it should be.
I would also like to see a fighting fund established whereby advantage players and other concerned citizens could donate to the cost of such actions; this could easily be set up using PayPal or something similar.
If I thought my consulting business was contributing to the physical abuse of anyone I would shut down tomorrow.

There is more than one lawsuit pending against these creeps. Unfortunately, the suits are in Nevada courts, where the victims face an uphill battle.
These agencies send photos etc all round the US and abroad, do they have to be sued in Nevada?

The position they take is that they furnish the casino with suspects pictures, and let the casino do as they see fit. That was what they glibly stated in the Hot Shoe.
