I'm a card counter.

Started when I was young, when I first got into magic. Did some counting at the Black Jack tables over a few months, won quiet a bit. Got caught, punished and then kicked out/banned.

Changed a bit since then, so can get in now.

Don't count cards in Adelaide anymore, but know quiet a few counters around the world who have done incredibly well for themselves. Half of my magician mates are red listed in most casino's around the world lol.

On another note, I'm sick of premium gold packs on FIFA. best player I have got from my ~ 12 packs is the goalkeeper from Napoli.

I feel your pain. My first 20-25 packs had **** all in them. Then I got Fernando Torres and Joe Hart in consecutive packs. Keep the faith.

I don't think its illlegal, I think they just chuck you out because they will lose money.

Spot on.

Not illegal in any way.

Ahhh, yeah i may have used the incorrect terminology. Still I reckon they shouldn't be able to kick someone out for doing it.

I guess the secret is to do it discreetly.

How exactly do you get cought? Like how can they tell youre doing it?

I know little about it so dont mind me if it seems like a stupid question

I imagine if you keep hitting on 12+ and winning, they start putting things together

 

[b0ydman]

Sounds like page 37 of a book I just read Johnny - Magic

They really just need to pick up a vibe I guess.

To do counting correctly you can't just work one table. I was working half a dozen tables at once, by myself.

Was young and was probably being more obvious than I thought.

you would have made some serious coin there! Assuming that you sold them

Nearly 90k between them

Sorry for stupid question - but doesn't that make it more difficult?

 

[Noobz0r]

I think he means watching, not playing. Based on my simple knowledge you observe before you sit down?

You shoulda listened to Joey Knish.

Im horrible at Black Jack I want to learn how to card count

Im more of a Roulette guy.

Does anyone know if there are craps tables at the Adelaide Casino? For the amount of times Ive been there Ive never seen one. Then again I never usually go further than Roulette or Black Jack

Roulette is the best game....

 

[Ebert80]

Russian?

 

[BIG MATTY T]

I really want to play casino poker, but i feel you probably need a couple of hundred to buy in with, otherwise you're just wasting your time.

Tried online...one of my good mates played online full time made 110k US in year lol

 

[BIG MATTY T]

Russian?

Bet on 5 and the corners on 5 .....little secret of the pros lol

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

Chat Roulette?

 

[The Smaller Warrior]

Yeah, watching and not playing 6 tables at once lol.

Even still, its tougher. Best way to start imo would be to observe a table, just for a little while and follow count.

Maybe go away, get a drink or two.

Come back, and try and observe two tables, don't play. Keep an eye on a third if you can.

Then leave, don't do anything and come back the next week with an idea on how it works.

Then, give it a shot.

Online poker is a double edge sword if you don't know the math. Either they're bad poker players and you win a lot of money, or they're bad poker players and muppet you haha

Yeah online is a little tough ....can't read players body language etc

 

[The Smaller Warrior]

Online Poker is at times like the Pokies.

More luck than anything really. Nothing like table poker.

K, so I'm on Tapatalk and quoted TSW's last post... That's what came up...

Re: the actual post.. The thing that I love about they tourneys that I play at the Cas is all of the "pro's" I'm at a table with who are wearing sunnies and listening to music

I always wanted to play live poker at Crown, heard it was quite the easy. Though it was also expensive so never really tried apart from free tournaments.

Played online a bit at really low stakes, never really got anywhere with it as I kept playing too many tables at once, and not taking it seriously. Also, table selection is something i CBF doing.

Either way, even mid stakes (like $1-2BB NL holdem) online poker is crazy hard from what I've gathered. Its all just assholes who play exactly a certain percentage (18-23 i think) of hands and play ultra aggresive, and use all these percentages to perfect their play. I'm sure they all have holes in their games otherwise they'd be at high stakes, but it sounded bloody hard to win at that level at the very least.

EDIT: Winning being made much easier by finding all the n00bs and beating them, which is something I wouldn't really like doing.
