I say people who do this did nothing wrong.. Just casinos are greedy.
Not the Batman! Someone in his position is just doing it to show off and get caught. Another "news" site said he was really obvious about it. Mission accomplished.
jasonv12. I agree with you the casinos want the best edge. Counting cards still wont give you 100% so they still have a edge.
there is some degree of counting cards when you play BJ for a long time anyway. I have worked for a few casinos and they do not want the counters cause they want to make the most money they can. The only reason they have BJ tables is cause it is one of the most popular games. They would not have those tables if they couldn't make a lot of money on them. The house advantage is so small for them already that is why they don't like counters. I don't think Affleck did anything wrong. The casinos make their money anyway.
like iveys situation if theres a flaw why not expose it. Dont see how its wrong on your end. They make enough dough anywayz. few mill is a different story but hey why not
I think card counting is perfectly legal. Most players do it all the time.
u cannot count a four deck shoot not possible
that's a huge imprisonment or something similar in Nevada. worse than killing a prostitute. or just doing a prostitute .
down with the Native
theres another casino down the street :pQuote:

Wow thats crazy. I wonder if others will ban him
Never leave the casino without tipping your dealer. Not sure if the laws are the same every where, but in OK I always tipped the dealer at the end of the night.
Yeah ive allways tip my dealer its called good morals and a classy move :D
I agree - as the article says, it's not illegal. They just don't want anyone taking away their advantage.Quote:

I guess he rolled 42 7's in row on the high roller CRAPS table (fart oops) Word on the vegas strip is ...he cashed out 23 Million and did a burn out across the MGM front lawn while giving security the "bird" and shouting Lick Deez Nutz on the way out.

I think he's just lucky he didn't get the shit kicked out of him first - they gave him the "royal" treatment in terms of card counters
my hat off to him they like to take your money but dont like the tables turned lol
and card counting is not illegal if he is doing it in his head not easy to do
He plays in the movie runner runner, and thinks hes a card shark or some shizzzzz
HE too good for the Casino. must be nice to be good at something and to be ban forever.
This is too funny, they ban the guy for life! Let him play 20k a hand.
ben is always welcome to come to my home game anytime he want to.
Free crack at your home games?Quote:

Yeah that is so funny! I do not even know how he does it lol!

It's stupid he shouldn't be banned soon there will no longer be casino blackjack.
hey if he come to your house everyday and eat all your food, dont you want to ban him?
They're basically trying to eliminate it anyways. They've already started shuffling 8-decks every hand in some casinos. offering 7-5 odds on a Blackjack and other stupid crap like adding a mandatory "bonus" bet that also shifts more edge to the house.Quote:

It's too bad card counting isn't allowed. I'm sure the casino still makes a good amount of money on the other games.
