I changed some things and am doing good, guys. Will update you with details. For now, I am working on what I will say when I get to Las Vegas - tell me how these sound. (scene one) [I shuffle up to the dealer table, lift back my head slightly and tip up my hat (I have a cowboy hat on), thrust out my hips and stand there... but not really looking at the dealer... more like leering at the hot chicks walking by... then I say]: "I'm here to win. I hit on 17. You got a problem with that?" Whaddaya think? That's just one line I thought of. I got more....
I think that the dealer will say, "All right then, sit yourself down and have a drink on the house." And, then a few hours later, the dealer will say, "I know! I am running hot tonight. I'm hard to beat." And, then a few hours later, when you walk away broke, the dealer will say, "Thank you for playing. Good luck." Just another day in the city of broken dreams.
I think it will be difficult for him to say that when he sees all the 20s and 21s I am drawing. (I've arranged it on 6 decks deep, being reshuffled as often as the dealer wants, to draw extremely many 20s and 21s.) AND... if the casino accuses me of counting cards I will say, "blindfold me." that is correct - I can destroy the dealer blindfolded. Just like I can win forex trades with no charts, no news, no indicators, and not even knowing what the current price is. *enter audience gasp here* anybody know any place selling cheap plane tickets from LAX to LV? take it lightly.
Skalpz: Until you don't show us the money, and how you did it, I would save the money on the hat for now....... It is very simple, Kind of what all traders are doing if it is correct that 50% of NYSE volume is computer program generated. I fell for that one. In reality we are trading against machines, not against us. What we traders think is not so important, what the machine thinks is what's important. So in theory your conquering BJ electronically is feasible, if you can beat somebody else's program trading or E-BJ, if it has one. How could one program into a computer the word "bubble" ?
Man you've pulled in a lot of fish with this one. I never would have expected it on ET. Grats! Troll meter: [........|.]
You'll read about me in the paper... I'll be the only guy beating the dealer, wearing a blindfold. <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=807067>
see, it's real simple... the dealer is a tough player - you got to be tougher and... a major key is figuring out what the main strength is of the dealer then wiping out that main power base. the rest falls in order.
another key is losing a lot while playing (because that's what the dealer wants you to do) but walking away with more than you started with. ain't everything a riddle....
I wonder if any casino type company puts together a program to sorta let the player have the advantage. So in the long run the player should win and get happy and come to vegas and drop the kids education fund. Just a thought. No proof on that though but sounds like something those profitable system traders that make 20% a month until the month you start trading.
