Just noticed a scary correlation. I struggle first 3 years with no mask mandate. Then masks come into play and I have my best blackjack year ever. Masks get removed and I immediately lose 14k. Masks get reinstated, I win 5k literally right when they get out back into place again. This mob infested city I swear lmao. I'm actually done. Probably cause when masks are in play there are strict regulations to abide by so they cannot cheat rofl. Fuck this city. Imagine dominating a rigged city.

Table max while masks in play, go on GWAE and stake claim to being GOAT is the obvious move isn’t it?Originally Posted by ZenKinG
Over the last year and a half while wearing masks, and I only played about 9-10 months of that time, but I received no backoffs. My backoffs have decreased over the years from 6 or 7, maybe 8 per year, early on in my time in Vegas, to only 2-4 per year lately, but with the masks....zero unless I am forgetting and I usually don't forget backoffs. Now yes I still drew some heat, but no official backoffs.
And last year when I played, I even bumped up my stakes neary double from usual, just because of the mask situation and still no backoffs. I felt I could play higher stakes without drawing much attention, which worked very well. Unfortunately, that did not translate into higher earings as I had my worse year, winning a career low 14k. Just a really bad run, just when I did increase stakes, that I never recoivered from in the shortened year.
So this year we started out with the masks and then masks went away in the spring, but now are back. I am fine with that. masks at the tables, works for me.
KJ, given the seeming benefit of wearing a mask I suggest you continue to do so even when the mask requirement ends.
There will always be cautious folks who wear masks in the casino, so why not join them?
If asked why you still wear a mask you might respond "because I'm not vaccinated," or "because I am high risk due to pre-existing health issues."
What, Me Worry?
That was my plan back in the spring MisterV. Masks became optional, and I thought and hoped there would at least be a 50/50 split of people wearing masks at the table. After all that is just the situation people might want to be cautious, sitting close proximity like that.Originally Posted by MisterV
Unfortunately almost immediately very few at the tables were wearing masks. So it quickly felt like if you were the one that was still wearing a mask, that was unusual, or drawing more attention. I do everything I can not to be the one standing out, so I stopped as well.
Hi ZenKing.
Just play Blackjack and find yourself a nice girl who accepts that's what you do for a living, live life, and be happy.

A while back I was playing on the Strip, overnight on a weekend. I play the Strip several times a month as part of my expanded rotation of spreading play amoung many casinos, and shifts. When I play the Strip, particularly at busier times, it is an opportunity for me to bump my max bet up past my normal just under $500 level, through that $500 threshold, to about $800, because of the larger action.
So on this particular night just as I jumped from $400 to $800 after a win, a pit guy who happened to be standing nearby, gave me a disapproving glance. I don't know what made me say it, but I looked directly at him and said "I am going to keep doubling until I lose". Well that insured that he stayed nearby watching, which was stupid.
So I won my $800 hand and bumped to $1600, where I received a double down hand. The pit guy actually seemed to be routing for me as he said "give him a 10". I didn't get a 10, but I did win the doubledown and attempted to bump to $3200. The table max was $3000 and that was all he would allow me to bet. I played 4 rounds at that table max winning 2, including a BJ, and had a push before I finally lost the last hand of the shoe. Having shown my full spread (and then some) I colored up and exited.
So several firsts for me. First time I played table max. First time I max bet at that level....I have only bet $1000 maybe 3 other times.
In hindsight, everything about this spur of the moment episode was a bad idea. While enough time has passed that, there doesn't appear to have been any consequenses of my actions, there very well could have been, even after the fact with a review of my play.
In addition there is the issue of variance. I play a preset spread and while this particular circumstance my preset limits are about double, jumping to this much higher max bet for only a very few hands like this invites extreme variance. While I was lucky and registered a nice win, I could just as easily have lost 5 figures and then spent the next.....I don't know how long, trying to win back at my normal much smaller spread. Even playing at an advantage (+EV for those rounds), playing a max bet almost 8 times my normal for just a handful of rounds, feels like gambling to me, because it is for only a few rounds. It just defies my whole, grind it out, approach.
Having had some time pass, I can only conclude, very bad idea, with very good results. Thought?
Yes, I have some thoughts on that move:
You criticize ZenKing for always being stubborn in his desire to continually play the strip casinos and then you pull that move, please! Kj, you are always making statements about longevity and how important it is to you. Big deal that you left at the end of the shoe you don't think that shoe will be reviewed and that your face will be saved for the next time that you show up in a month?
Now regarding that progression betting part. You have mentioned previously that when you do play the strip that you bring a somewhat bigger roll with you fine. However, nowhere close to being properly prepared for any type of progressing betting. Need I remind you that just playing one hand at a 3K bet could turn into 24K bet on the outcome. You may be fooling plenty of people about some of your escapades, but for those that really know the game you never disappoint in contradicting yourself time and time again.

BoSox, you are undeniably a sleezebag now. If I wanted that posted on this forum, I would have posted it on this forum. I only intended to discuss that incident with real blackjack players on a blackjack forum, not with trolls and haters that dominate this forum and you undoubtably knew that.
Where I did post, you are a member and participate and could have responded there. You bringing it here, and you had to manipulate the quote system to do so, is really sleezy low life shit! And manipulating the quote system to make a quote that wasn't said here, IS against the rules here, you prick.
I will no longer respond to anything you post. Fuck off you sleezy old fozzil and troll.

"Here is THE question for everyone.
If this Mdawg was really making 100's of thousands of dollars over the last 4 months in vegas and getting high end comped suites for all that time and other high end comped gifts, and this on top of his life as an attorney, and all the "family money" he has and grew up with.....then why is he so obsessed with an Advantage player, a lowly card counter at that, grinding out a living of 80k or so?
Does that make sense to ANY ONE? Is warren Buffet jealous and always attacking some stockbroker making a hundred k? Id Bill Gates obsessed with and constantly attacking some computer program making 80 or 100k?
Something just doesn't add up here."

All of it is so obvious and yet you still do not understand. Funny as hell, LOL

Make that over 40%. Irrelevant though because the market will crash hard soon enough. Long term GEO will be fine, but patience will yield an unbelievable buy in price. Wait until all the political pressure gets pushed aside for all the drones that are worried. Won't even be until the next election. Biden is already being seen in an unfavorable light with whats happening in Afghanistan even though the president doesn't make those decisions, but the public drones dont realize that. The 'administration' will get massacred soon with the combination of the afghan incident, opening borders, and letting prisoners roam free and be released. By midterms, all of the political window dressing pressure of private prisons will fade away and republicans will gain a massive footprint. Also wait until they never lose their federal contracts and the word gets out for the drones. Wait until the dividend is reinstated. It's going to be a massive snowball effect leading it back to the 20s and possible low 30's. Right now as we speak its worth $15 even with the federal contracts lost(BOP and USMS). It's now trading at a price assuming they lose all of their federal contracts including their ICE contracts, which are not even part of this window dressing 'executive order'. Short term this will likely retrace hard especially if there's a general market crash in between. Buying in the $5 range when I said too, will be a heck of an entry point regardless what happens short term.Originally Posted by The BozOriginally Posted by Tasha
The problem with Zenking is 99 percent of his postings are RANTS. 99 PERCENT! :/ And 1 percent is stuff like,"Ha! I won $50,000 from that Cheating Casino that stole $20,000 from me on Fourth Of July! They ended up paying me $30,000 more over the $20,000 they stole from me! How do you like them $30,000 apples, Cheating Casino who stole $20,000 from me on Fourth Of July?"Originally Posted by Keystone
And the problem with you is you make him look like Hemingway or Tolstoy with your posts that sound like they come from a Mongoloid idiot.
By the way, ZenKing was right on with his recommendation of GEO stock which is up over 20% in the last month. I wonder if he actually invested himself?
No I have not invested. I'm very weary of investing in the market as a whole during this bubble. This shit can hit the fan at any notice. When the market cap to GDP is trading at 200%+ levels and the recession of 2008 traded at 100% levels and the dot com bubble even less than that, thats when you know pain is coming. I much rather be in cash right now than any equity asset.
