Casino Casino's Counter Measures.....

Hi all,

I'm just looking for any tales regardless of the game where the Casino has used ANY counter measures to stop you
winning.....

 

I'll relate 2 stories which involve Black Jack in Atlantic City back in the late 1980's -

1. I was playing at the Atlantis Casino which prior to that was the Playboy -
After playing a few shoes ( 6 deck game ) and varying my bets substantially -
The pit boss approached the table to observe my play -
He instructed the dealer to shuffle the pack when I made a large wager -
WAY before the cut card was even close to coming out - after doing this a few times -
He " suggested " that I leave his casino - as my action was no longer wanted there -

His mistake was when he was escorting me out the door - he did NOT follow me all the way out -
Subsequently, I circled back and went to a remote pit to continue my play -
After a few minutes - the gig was up as he discovered me - and began his premature shuffle antics when I made a large wager -
It was obvious to me AFTER I left out of frustration - HE had NO clue as to what was happening - HE was basing his decisions
on MY play - which was a large wager when the deck became ' rich ' in high cards -

Had I ' flat bet ' during neutral and positive deck conditions and made a large wager when the deck turned favorable to the house -
I could have made a pretty good buck at that table - because he would have ordered the cards to be shuffled when the house had the advantage !

Unfortunately, I did not realize that until well afterwards !

2. At the Sands before it was imploded same scenario as above - after coming back after initially losing I started to get heat -
After it was obvious I could not get a decent game there - I decided to color-up and leave the casino -

Well THIS pit boss tells the dealer to " Push his chips back to him " -
He then tells me - " Walk with them " - well, that was a new one on me - and not allowing myself to be outdone -

After I cashed in - I went back to the table - and requested a dinner comp for my wife and I - based on my table time -
This is prior to the current system - comps then were hand-written by the pit - at their discretion -

Obviously, he denied my request - but said to me " Ed, if it was up to me - I would gladly give it to you - but it's orders from above -
Nothing personal - strictly business " !

I replied - " I totally understand - I just had to come back and ask you anyway " !

You can NOT make this sh*t up !

BigBen can relate a more recent story when a group of us shot craps at the Trump Plaza before they bit the dust !

Even online casinos have many countermeasures to ward off someone who looks like a potential threat to them. When I won many no deposit bonuses off rival powered casinos playing only slots, they informed each other about me and 99% of them instantly shut their doors for me. Whenever I try to login in any of them (I had account with over 50 rival powered casinos), I get the message, "Your account has been locked. Please contact support".



Ironically, even new casinos where I have never played gives the same message to me and do not let me have an account with them straightforward.
Casinos love losers only.

 

It just might be the proper time to put on shades, don a fedora, obtain an alter ego / moniker / different name or handle -

And go about " Business as Usual " !

Like my main man Clint Eastwood says -

" Adapt and Overcome " !

Are you saying rival casino's have passed on information about you to different casino groups ?

 

Rival is a casino software provider. It has 52 casino clients. When I won no deposit bonuses with a few of them successively, they informed about me to their entire group. Sooner than later, most of them banned me and a few blocked me instantly when I opened account with them. I asked one of them in chat and got info that my account has been flagged as dangerous by a large chunk of casinos using same software although they do not belong to one ownership.

 

Right, got Ya.....

I have too many stories to tell. Send me your address ([email protected]) and I'll send you my book I Am a Card Counter. In it you'll find some bannings that were scary and one where a gun was pulled on me in a famous casino. These are all blackjack bannings. The craps ones will be in my book coming out on May 1st.

 

I've just emailed you, txs for the v kind offer.
