Took advantage of a professional counter at the Blackjack table
I had a huge night yesterday in my local casino where we have a shoe-based single deck blackjack game and it wasn’t thanks to my card counting skills… I spotted someone consistently playing a solid game varying his bet sizes throughout the shoe and decided to low-bet one shoe and see if I could do my basic KISS-count to see if his bets made sense…
They did — and for the coming two hours I followed his pattern of minbets up to 15x minbet to end up winning $4900. When he left I played on for about ten minutes before cashing out with $4700 profit. Not too shabby.
On my way to the cashier I noticed my hero playing the roulette — so I walked over and whispered a “thank-you for your excellent count” in his ear… He smiled and said: “Ha, I noticed”.
Great stuff — hope to spot him at the casino again soon!
