No amount of Hollywooding is going to give you 20 years of play in the same town.
I guess I should add one caveat. Players can and do over. Do any kind of "act" they adopt.
If you are going to see some of the same pit folks and even dealers and they see you win frequently, and then all of the sudden you pretend not to know of you should hit 14 vs 19 or double 11 vs 6, your act will fail and do much more harm that good.
But be selective in specific situations and you have zero cost cover that is valuable to longevity.
Not by itself. It is one of many tools.Quote:

It might be the case, but it also creates a situation where you are more easily remembered on a return visit. And THAT is more harm than good.
And you don't think others here have "adopted" to your bullshit?Quote:

Haven't we been over this a hundred (or more) times? I am not sure if you are stupid (I don't think so) or just playing stupid, but you are pretty convincing. :rolleyes:Quote:

But the big things are 1) playing unrated. This makes it harder for casinos to track your long-term results over many different sessions. Harder but not impossible if they are good.
2), short sessions. This makes it less likely that any one session will be a huge winning session....the kind that someone has to answer for. THAT is a definite thing would want to avoid.
3) playing amounts and spread that are well tolerated. Max Bets of under $500 ($500 a key threshold) are pretty well tolerated at most mid size and larger casinos for short periods of time.
4) a large rotation of games. THIS is actually one of the strengths of Las Vegas. Not the greatest games in the country but many playable games. I always had a rotation of 30 casinos or more, many of them with multiple pits. This is so you don't see the same people daily or even weekly. You might see them once or twice a month. Guess what that is exactly like a non-AP player.
These are the principal points of the plan I designed and implemented for about 12 years. The last several years since covid a little different playing higher stakes during busy times.
But then there are many, many smaller things.
It is best not to be the largest bettor at the table.
Chip inventory allows you to skip the buy-in and first interaction with pit.
Like wise, don't color up. And don't cash out immediately after playing.
If I do buy-in for cash it is for a small amount. several of my smaller bets. You can always buy-in for more if the count warrants it. But it avoid the big tell of buying in for $2000 and betting $25. That screams card counter, and I will be betting big at some point.
Exiting at the shuffle after showing your top wager. This avoids the huge tell of a card counter of retreating back to smaller wagers and fits nicely with short sessions.
Card counter Basic Strategy, so as not to play the same hand differently. Another sign of a card counter.
Other "cover plays" and act like I mentioned earlier today.
Any of this sound familiar? It is the whole package. Every little thing contributes to longevity and being welcome to play.
And in the event that something occurred that is problematic, like a backoff, or other heat issue, including database entries, you have to be able to know that and avoid that casino for a little while.
Now contrast that to a guy who plays rated, so they know exactly what he wins or losses. A guy who claims to spread 1-50 ($100-$5000), which is definitely outside every casinos comfort level. A guy who tells us he plays 10 hours straight winning $60k at a time. AND that the casinos just don't care about long-term winning players.
Take off your troll and hater hat and answer honestly. Which of these scenarios make more sense to you. Which of these scenarios is used by other real and known players now or in the past. Which is real and which is a guy telling a story. Don't be afraid to answer honestly. Everyone already knows. :cool:
Actually all of these are irrelevant to my point except (4), which was already factored into my argument (you're supposed to be up $1m or whatever it is which I divided by 10 to account for the winnings occuring at multiple casinos).
I specifically referred to the problem of large cumulative win, not big scores, not getting noticed for big buy ins, not having chip inventories to avoid CTRs.
You may not be aware of this (though you certainly would if your story were true), but pit bosses make profiles in the system even for unrated players.
The main purpose is to track the unrated players for CTR compliance, and the pit bosses are pretty good about linking people to their profile by appearance. They may not get you every time and if you can avoid playing across shifts you should be able to keep separate profiles (just speculating on that), but they can definitely put together a decent record of your cumulative result.
Which of course would create quite the problem for you, since $100k is way past the tolerance threshold at the local type casinos you say you play. (Actually $100k at the bet sizes you claim will probably get looked at anywhere if anyone notices in the first place.)
But that's assuming it even goes that far, because the pit will notice your cumulative win well before that, and putting it together with the obvious indicators of counting, they'd back you off. (And think for a moment how bad it would be for them if a shift supervisor notices first and says - "So you've been letting this guy play for 10 years and he's up $100,000 and you never thought he might be up to something?")
According to my records, which are meticulous, and I am sure much more accurate than any casino has, I have only a couple casinos where my cumulative win is 6 figures. Several more reasonably close. The 30 casinos that I have in my rotation at any given time aren't necessarily the same 30 for the last 15 years. Some have closed, others opened or re-opened. Some the conditions worsened, and I dropped them, a few conditions improve and are added. This one doesn't happen often but it does happen. So my individual casino records for blackjack play in Las Vegas comprise 50-60 casinos, not just 30. Additionally, I make several trip a year to other locations to play blackjack. Almost always 1 or 2 trips to Pa area to play blackjack and visit friends. I play a little bit in California, the Gulf Coast areas, Arizona, Colorado, The Pacific Northwest, although not often, and for a while Reno at least once a year, sometimes twice a year, although I don't see myself returning to Reno anytime. Just too much problems that follow you home. All told I have well over 100, probably over 120 casinos that I have cumulative numbers for. And of 1.6 million in blackjack earnings, do the math. That is an average of $16,000 per casino. Now like I said there are some much higher. But that is what spreading your play around is all about.Quote:

You mentioned CTR, that is another reason to play short sessions. Sort of already mentioned with the not creating situations someone has to answer for. You still could have a big win session, where you do really well on the big bets for a shoe or two, but they become much more rare.
Look, dude, You can believe what you want. And you will. That is fine. But it is like mickey said, you know the truth. You and the other haters. It isn't what you want it to be, so you I guess are lying to yourself. THAT makes a lot of sense. :cool:
For the record, I never really shared exactly many of the things I do and techniques I employ that allow for longevity, in one post like I just did. I have always shared little tidbits here and there, so player might read and find something that can benefit their own game and situation. But I never showed the whole plan in one place like that. I can only now do that because that is no longer the way I play. At least not the majority. That was the mid-level mid level plan that I was for about 12 years here in Vegas. I am on to something else now. :)
So now it's 60 casinos and travelling to multiple states to play.
Give it a rest dude. You are lying to yourself, so I don't expect you to come clean and admit what you know in your heart.Quote:

I was giving a strategy example within the context of KewlJ's glitched machine. Basically, the ability to quadruple one's bet is a very powerful aspect of this glitch. I'm sure we can all think of other examples to exploit the quadrupling of one's initial bet - I was giving one example. I'm pretty sure everyone reading this thread understood what I was trying to write (you certainly did), it was extremely simple.

Well, now others too know that it was all fiction. All neatly packaged into something he read about, and assumed.

Rather, because all you ever do is come up with zero-value excuses, adoptive counter-tales, and ineffective flailing that always fails to convince, you ramble on thinking "I got 'em!" when you never, ever do.
Bbbbbbutttt.....THATS NOT HOW CASINOS AND LV WORK!!

Kew saying his mommy reads this forum--a forum where his almost daily lying is put on display nearly as much as his deserved and constant humiliation--is just another obvious bunch of BS by an attention-craving faggot who never seems to get anything right in his sorry-ass excuse of a life.
Why did Singer go out of his way to post the Newell at the dealership pictures but has been unable to come up with hellcat pics. Does he claim to have other cars too?
Seriously though... dude goes out of his way for the dealership pics but has never posted pics of these cars ........... how does that happen?
That's making things up. These "cars" (4+1 p/u) aren't worth that much to us. And I didn't go "out of my way" to post the interior Newell pics. Just the opposite. It wasn't a "dealership" either; it was at a consignment center. You're repeating kew lies because for some reason (and it aint difficult guessing why) you seem to feel a bit threatened by a few things I own(ed)--which is fairly typical of the little people.Quote:

I am SOOO over Rob and the Newell thing, but this is just TOOO funny. A guy owns a million dollar RV. After years of not doing so, he decides he wants to post some pictures to prove his claim. But his million dollar RV is 50 miles away. So he goes to the RV dealership, or consignment shop down the street and poses in and posts pictures of someone else's RV. No Harm no foul. He owns one just like it. ;)Quote:

one other note. The guy (Singer) filed for Bankruptcy in the late 1990's. Also in that same time period, he was evicted from an apartment and lost a legal judgement related to that eviction. These things are public record.
a dozen years later, which would be after he had make hundreds of thousands or what ever he now claims from his progressive wagering system, AND after he claims he made 2.9 million from the double up bug claim (which he stole), we find Mr Rob, living in a trailer park in beautiful downtown Pahrump. :cool: But he owns homes all over the world. :D
Ok, back to your original programming.

Yea, you didn't go out of your way. You just posed for an assortment of photos at a used RV dealership then bothered posting them on the internet for us.
Yet you won't take pictures of cars your currently own and are proud of and post them. lol. They're your cars, in your possession.
Mr Leisure doesn't have the time ... lol ... but has time to drive 100 miles to take some 'snapshots' of himself in the RV.
You're just too much Singer... too much
Robert DID live in England for an unknown amount of time, that is an established fact.
The rest...not so much.
But in the end: Does it REALLY matter?
Winner as he claims, or Loser as we believe: Robert IS pretty damned "unique."
So was Hitler. That is not to compare Rob to Hitler. Just saying unique is not necessarily good. Ex-president, Trump is also "unique".Quote:

PS the game is uncountable. Shuffle after every deal.
Kew, every time you either start or get involved in a thread, it's as if a virus has infected it. Your constant making-it-up-on-the-go, adjusting your tales after other posters begin exposing your lies, and the humiliating jumping up and down about posters bringing up your history of lying, shows us all what an irrelevant little twit you've always been. And all that technical blackjack blather isn't fooling anyone. Your extreme infatuation with & addiction to the game has led you into copy-posting from any source you can find. You really don't think people can see that?Quote:

So if all of the sudden someone or in our case 2 players all of the sudden play and take $150, $200 an hour (each) from the machine for multiple hours, they are going to know something is up within a couple days of pulling reports. And all they have to do is go to the video to confirm.
This is why I immediately knew there was no chance of milking this play. We needed to hit a casino until we couldn't and move on, and hit until we couldn't and move on again. It was always going to be a race against time. And other players discovering the play, which I figured would be the case would only shorten that race. I was hoping for a little more time (and money) than we got, but really am not surprised it wasn't. It was very predictable, how it would play out.
I have tried to think if there was anything we could have done differently. Possibly if you were playing a machine local to you, you could have tried to milk it, maybe playing an hour 3 times a week. But once we got on the road, and had motel and travel expenses, there was no chance of that. And if you tried to slow walk or milk the play, the more likely scenario would be someone else comes along discovers it and the play is shut down with you only getting a small amount of action. No, the only play was to hit hard and fast and quickly move to the next location.
You can't milk it because the glitch you described is extremely obvious - a menu briefly pops up and you literally just have to press the button in time and see that it works.
This would have been found day 1 in Las Vegas and everyone would have been all over it.
You should have described it as just a flicker, and if you happen to be rapidly tapping the screen where the button would have been when the flicker occurs, you can get the input registered.
