The great fantasy writer posted the following at WoV today:
"I've been playing 100% Blackjack instead of almost all Baccarat (and just some Blackjack) for a short while now. I may keep with that. (Or I might just go back to almost all Baccarat.)
Anyway, I've been playing DD 100 - 1000, or 200 to 2000 spread, as a known player at three top Strip casinos and no one has said a thing to me yet. One thing is - they already seem to slice away a good third if not a half of a deck anyway so there's not even that much penetration. Why would they even be so worried? certainly they don't seem to be, even though I've been winning a few thou here and there, relatively short sessions, and there's no question why I'm jumping the bet, anyone could see why I'm doing it when I am doing it.
Seriously if I'm spreading to only 1000 or 2000 I view it as baby games. I could easily go all the way to table limit without batting an eye. I do it all the time at Baccarat. Maybe I haven't played enough blackjack lately to judge tolerance, but no one seems to care, and I have even been playing alone much of the time."
Anyone that plays blackjack even occasionally in Las Vegas, who didn't already know this dude is 100% full of crap now does. That is all I am going to say. Absolutely ridiculous. Anyone want to start the list of everything false and wrong about this thread?
