Ben Affleck has been busted card counting in Vegas.

While on a �romantic getaway� with his wife Jennifer Garner just prior to starting production in the highly-anticipated �Batman vs. Superman� blockbuster, a source close to the A-list actor confirmed that he was asked to leave the famed Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas on Tuesday.

'He was spreading $100 -10K on the double decks and $0-20K (2@10K) on the shoe games. As of now, he is still being allowed to play per casino management.'

Can't figure out how they made him ROFL. Probably figured he could get away with anything. If he was a true AP he would focus on better games, which for him is 'acting'.

we all need deviations. Jerry Jones was much better in the oil business than he is in the football business and that's just one of many examples
of an ego trip gone wrong.

What do you mean $0-20K (2@10K) on the shoe games? If he was just dropping 20K as he sat down then he wasn't counting.

he was going to 100K openly and was barred.

Spreading most likely $50 or $100 to two hands of $10,000 and then sitting out or requesting shuffles in negative shoes ($0). That will get the money even if he's only using the one insurance play deviation.

To be fair with the money he makes, anything less than a wild spread with huge max bet would simply not be worth his time so as crazy as it sounds the way he plays is probably a fairly sound strategy considering he most likely doesn't have much free time & will NEVER be able to play without attention due to fame. Add that he never has to worry about being backroomed, will mostly receive the nicest backings off ever for fear of negative publicity, & many casinos will no doubt tolerate him taking a couple of grand ev per visit, maybe he knows exactly what he's doing & milking his fame. It's only for thrills for him anyway I'm sure, not like he's going to give up his day job!

A smart casino owner would allow him to play a modest spread if he was only hurting them for a few hundred an hour, more for bigger casinos, am sure the table would be full of ploppies wanting to say they played at his table, & they would likely offset his ev anyway.
