The Brutal Reality of Part-Time Card Counting

You’ll see things start to improve once you start playing and acting like Steven Bridges, and bet more like he does

Funny how many people think that vard counting is a get rich quick scheme. It just give a person a slight edge. Its a huge grind

Bro, as a HSE (Health Safety Environment) Advisor, can you please get a new windscreen installed on your car asap.

When new videos Dooma

Fuckin awesome video dude.

"The carpet was new" 😂😂😂😂 this dude is hilarious

Where is the new videos bro

Casino is just chicken feed money

Bro this is hilarious. But yeah, imagine spending an off day to get that perfect window of opportunity to try to wong it and realise-
this is not the day for me. I've got a mild headache from counting so much and it's surprising how often its a negative count.
You've basically wasted two hours and it ain't looking good.

F

This is great, don't want to make this a profession just earn a few extra on the side. Good to see the reality of it. Great job!

Which membership did you get from BJA? I currently use their iPhone APP which has taught me a lot of material

This is the funniest shit I’ve seen recently holy fuck 😂

Bro u have a talent for story telling

I wouldn't recommend anyone follow this guy's advice lol and yeah people who go in and out are annoying. Learn how to play a negative count

Great video. See you at the tables!

Makes me wonder if it would not be easier to just open your own casino

I've played some of the maryland places... super tough to count! The Degens hoging all the tables pushing up all the table minimums! Hard to backcount for that reason!

Much respect to counters.

I prefer poker, where I just have to beat a mix of drunks, morons, and decent grinders. Chopping up the moron/drunk money with the grinders more than covers the casino taking their rake out of it. Playing 12 hours with no chance of being hassled by the casino no matter how much I win, is fun.

Sometimes I would make artificial challenges for myself, to make it tougher, like building up endurance from 14 hour sessions, to 18, to 24. After a handful of 24-hour sessions around weekly, I decided to play until I got almost too groggy to think. That turned out to be 43 hours straight with chips on one poker table at Foxwoods. You are only allowed to be away for an hour, so I took two 40-minute breaks for meals, and two 40-minute breaks to nap in my car. At the end of it, I was still playing a winning game, but was thinking slower, and having something almost like a headache. When a dealer said I wasn't looking great, and asked if I was OK, I decided to cut the experiment short. Pretty sure I could have made it to 50 hours at least, before blundering or passing out.

My sweet spot is stopping no more than 14 hours after I start, whether I've played all 14 hours, or only 10 of the 14. After that, I'm operating at about 90% sharpness, and losing another maybe 1% per hour. So to stay in a really long session, it's only smart if doing something you can still perform really well at, at reduced capacity. Like a bicyclist just having to stay on the bike, rather than having to win a bike race. I can win at poker as long as I stay on the bike, because I play a level or two below what I could still win at. The added comfort level, increased edge, and longer time that I remain sharp enough, almost make up for the reduced win rate per hour. And the added play time and socializing at the lower level, make up for that.

If money is your only goal, there are better ways to turn a really sharp brain into money, than blackjack or even poker. So, my advice, is to pursue it only if you love the game itself, or something about playing the game.

Great video! Real and entertaining. Thank you!

Felt this Super Bowl weekend in Vegas.
Getting good true counts and got hammered for 15k.

For some reason I always lose quickly when playing one on one, but I can usually do better at a full table

Yesterday, Everywhere I sat I immediately got into a bad rhythm and lost quickly at 3 different tables, just couldn't get good cars, example. I get 17, they get 18.
I need to get better at choosing a table. Any good advice for picking a table?

Drinking alcohol and gambling dont mix well

love the video and i know exactly what casino that is. going there myself tonight! hope to run into you some time and win together

Why does it say table rules $25 min then next slide says T0 and below $10?

Hey buddy, good work. Quick question ….how do I back count when the game is ongoing, and let’s say I arrived at the table after multiple hands ? How do I know what’s the running count and start back counting? Do I have to wait for the deck to get over and then count from the beginning or how do I do it?

Are you on the BJA?

Read Blackjack Attack. That book will help you a lot. Nothing wrong with playing full tables if you play the other half. Sit down, play one spot and take the other spots as people bust. Blackjack gamblers are reckless and you’ll have half the table in no time. Keep in mind you need to think of each hand as independent events, so you should bring enough for three separate bankrolls if you are going to play the other three spots. Also, going from $10 to $25 at a true 1 is pointless on an 8 deck shoe. At a true 1 the house still has a slight edge, or the game is even at best. $10, $15, $25, $30, $40, $40, $80, $80 will probably be better for you

Que buen video hermano, sigue asi, dejen de romantizar el conteo de cartas, sometimes EV hit hard sometimes not

Bros playing bj trying to gain on the casino with a big ass crack in your windshield bro get your shit together

And then you realize the expenses you're racking up kill any edge because you hands are too small and your hours are too low essentially guaranteeing a huge loss over time unless you get exceptionally lucky.

Hey bro! I’m trying to get into AP play in the same area you live. I was wondering if you’d be willing to message back and forth and give me some advice on where to play? I don’t want to just ask my questions in your comments just in case they’re revealing.

how many seconds do you take to count a deck during practice?

CARD COUNTING IS BULLSHIT

DON’T EVER PLAY AT DELAWARE PARK MAN I CAN NEVER WIN AND IVE PUT TIME IN, Every other casino I play at I do good except for there.

Holy shit your sense of humor is hilarious was crack in up at this

thanks for being so transparent!!

Ya I figured this out early. Its still just luck because not enough hands with big plus counts for average to work out

8 deck shoe don't do that omg lol

I'll never understand gamblers. It's all about the all in. If you want your life to change, go all in. Or grind it out at poker.

I've made a very good living slugging back booze playing pinball machines and betting horseraces. I'm known worldwide as the master of the maidens. No better horseplayer exists on Earth than me when it comes to betting maiden races.

you are learning probabilities. this can be applied to day trading. you should compare 'futures technical setup day-trading' vs 'cardcounting' see which you have the bigger edge in. I think you have bigger edge in day-trading imo.

the odds on your analogy with the coin flipping was off, you showed 6% instead of 3%

yeah, fuck 8 deck games. they are just a trudge, then the casino having no surrender, $25min and no resplitting aces. Just say no.

You'll calm down after 1000 hours of play. Once you've seen every impossible dealer beat downs you'll find the numbers work out. Mind you! And listen really carefully, if you cash out when your ahead, you will win money! Even if it's a small amount!

I loved this video 😂

You are not good enough. Not managing sessions, not keeping the count, and letting other BS distract you.
