I know you all don�t believe me about my strategy (not �system�) being a long-term winner (about .5 unit average per shoe), and that�s not why I am writing now � so please don�t respond about the legitimacy of my strategy.
Instead: Let�s say that, hypothetically, one has a credible strategy that cannot fail to give the player an advantage. I always thought that was the hard part � coming up with a strategy that can beat the house. But I�m starting to wonder if the real hard work is just beginning. To wit, card counters can be confident that they have a definite mathematical edge (barring �X� number of human mistakes), but they cannot play unrestrained. There is surveillance trying to stop them from taking the casino�s money. (As an aside, I�ve seen what looks like a neat book � �Blackjack and the Law;�- has anyone read it?). At what point will a typical casino kick you off their private property because you are just winning too much?
That brings me to the purpose of this post. I�m asking you old-timers: Hypothetically speaking, what are some strategies to actually implement a winning strategy in today�s casino, or what are some strategies to profit in general from the strategy � maybe even as a result of not having to even enter a casino. Here are some that I have come up with (note: for the below options, I could �prove� the validity of the strategy up front through the use of mock casino conditions such as playing, in a camouflaged manner, X number of hands (e.g., 200,000) with professional off-duty dealers and, say, $1 million dollars in fake money, at an undisclosed location for as long as it takes to convince any party that the strategy works):
1) Assemble a team of 5-10 players who can implement the strategy once for a week or so all across the world. For example, playing at $250,000 tables (or higher), one can make roughly $1 million per 3 hours of disguised play.
2) Hire an attorney to draft a sort of �contract� between myself and, say, 5 different purchasers of the strategy. The strategy would sell for about $10 million each.
3) Contact 10 of the top casinos via teleconference and offer to sell them the strategy in lieu of anyone from my team implementing it in their casino for, say, the next 5 years.
4) Find an investor or investors (e.g., Craigslist, E-bay) who would be willing to bankroll me and/or a team for one months worth of implementation of the strategy all over the world, including cruises if the odds are good enough.
Ironically enough, I consider myself a Christian � as many of you probably consider yourselves. So that�s the rub: I�m a little uncomfortable, as are my wife and son, with me spending a month or whatever in a casino � even if $300 million is possible and even though in my mind it�s not really �gambling� per se � it�s more of an extremely fast, low-risk return investment. I am too weak when it comes to the temptation (namely women and alcohol) that comes along with casinos and money. So does anyone have any ideas for the above hypothetical individual that has a strategy that does work but in reality will not be easy to implement?
Finally, do casinos not really care about individuals winning, say, $10,000-$20,000 per session per casino? In other words, do only the really �fat cats� (i.e., winners of, say, $50,000 or so at a time) attract the casino personnel�s attention, or will even �small� though consistent winners attract attention � even if it�s clear they are not card counting? I�m wondering if the casinos are like most of you: as long as they know that you are not counting, then they don�t really care how you bet? What are some ways to disguise the strategy? Are there �consultants� of sorts out there that I can hire without telling them what the strategy is but who can advise me of the particular characteristics of particular casinos, etc.?
So let�s not waste any more time and effort about the merit of my strategy. Please just comment on some ideas for safely implementing a long-term, winning non-progression strategy to generate the most profit? For example, please don�t write back with only, �Your idea is ridiculous� or �You�re delusional.� Instead I ask you to comment on ways to safely implement a winning strategy in today�s casinos.
