latest RTG scam

at $250 deposits, I am not about to deposit money there.

When I meant hitting all the casino's up, I meant ones that actually pay most people, and nearly always return deposits. If a casino always pays back deposits, but receiving the winnings is a toss up, I'd give it a go. See what happens, if they pay you, hit them again (the purpose is to find out the reliables).

That said, I have built up a long list of reliables (no RTG casinos there), that are worth quite a bit. However, it's always nice to have more casino's on that list so I won't have to change IPs, addys IDs etc so much.

Quite a few of the casino's I've played at often write back that I played pretty skillfully, but acknowledge that I won the money and pay me no problem. Still, they're all reputable casino's.

It wont be long before you will not get any replies or answers to your e-mail about where's my money? Beware of the big Kabasa that awaits you.

are they going to learn that I'm a consistent winner?

Funny about the loser bit. My local land casino is always welcoming me, yet I walk out with their money. They still welcome me back. Maybe they think I'll cough it all over? I'd think they should've caught on.

But they have you pegged as a progressionist! They have witnessed your play and have determined that you are a long time loser. They are simply inviting you to play so they will reap their 1/2 percent advantage. The more negative expectation players they have... the more money they make.

Yes... some will be semi-long-term winners anyway. That is just the nature of the beast. But they want ALL the losers to play at their game. That way they can AFFORD those lucky winners.

I have read your posts for a year or more and am aware that you (until recently) consider your progression a winner. I am happy for you... if true. I mean NO disrespect. But is I were running a casino, you would have my vote. I would want to win SOME of my money back. I realize lately that you have taken up advantage play. You speak of counting, but mostly bonus hustling online. My "bet" is that you are still in your progression ways.

Again... no offense... just my observations of your posts over the last year.

And there are a number of casinos that I beat up month after month (online that is). However, RTG casinos tend to get tired of your act very quick, and when they do, they can get very pissy.

I do not consider myself a progression winner (or progressionist). I said I just happened to win using progressions. Some will, most won't. The I graduated to forms of AP.

Sure, I might still use a progression here or there, but I don't fool myself into thinking I'll profit from it. Shorterm I might, longterm unlikely.

When I used them I knew what I was doing. I knew I was still playing a negative EV and therfore playing with fire. But then again I started off with nothing, and knew a progression can get some quick money together in a small amount of time. So I chose a progression that tends to have more wins than losses (which means larger losses). By being careful with it, I managed to build up a BR I could count off. I still used them (on a small scale) to boost my total BR, and it paid off. I have a large enough BR to live off AP play.

I am an AP and have been for a while. I actually learnt to count before using progressions. Still, progressions can be effective in getting quite a bit in a small amount of time (as long as nothing goes terribly). There was a risk, but since I started with nothing, I took it. I'm glad I did.

BTW, I actually count SP21. The deck pen is normally less than a deck off six. House edge is .2% worse than normal BJ, but I bet much higher on positive counts (of course they do happen less, but when they do they're very profitable). I get no heat. Imagine what you guys would do under the same conditions at BJ.

If they ever thought I was counting (seriously, who'd count SP21), they'd lower that deck penetration and see how I react.

They just see me as a kid with too much money, and happy to lighten that wallet.

do you think they're sucking up (and giving you foolish confidence), or acknowledging your play, but letting you get away with it (at least for the moment).

I don't and haven't ever played at an RTG casino. And won't until they clean up their act. Some way to run a business. Just either
1)keep the winnings, return the deposit
2)steal it all
3)play roulette and lose it all

Unbelievable. How do they sleep at night.

Progression ways? Definately not. The swings are larger than when you count (when you start using 100+ unit BRs).

Lately becoming an AP? I actually started counting before I even thought about using progressions. So I was an AP back then. Many claim that while I used a progression, I wasn't an AP (even though I counted). Fair enough. They can have their opinions. I do still use progressions (don't expect to profit, just maybe make some extra cash if I'm lucky, and that's no different than a counter playing a few rounds of roulette, or practically any other game for that matter).

I do BH alot. I started it a little while ago, and am finding it very profitable (even in the state of the current industry). I still count, I just spend more hours BHing. When that river runs dry, I'll be sports betting by then (starting it up end of this year). I'll still play a bit of BJ, when it's the slower times of the year.

Also, when I used/use progressions, I am smart with them. I'm not saying I'm creating a positive EV, I just happen to get those results. My win rate was as high as if I used the martingale. I only needed to have a win rate of 60% to profit. I know the mathematical edge the house has was still in play, but I still got their money. I'm assuming I was successful at it due to my skills at money&risk management, and the pretty choppy play I normally experienced.

All a progression does it change the frequency of the swings, and how large they are.

But I think they are just sucking up and hoping you will come back and lose money in the future. Usually, they will eventually stop sending me promotions without taking any other action (this usually happens with Micro sites). There isn't too much you can do about it, you can only give so much cover, and they will always know your cumulative win or loss to the penny.

I almost out of the game now though. Like someone else mentioned, the old days were like playing a single deck game dealt to the bottom with no heat. Now it's like playing an 8 deck game with 2 decks cut off.
