Getting tired of the trolling here -- please read this thread -- NEW RULES

[kewlJ]

kewlj you don't have to be a blackjack player or a card counter to be able to sit at a blackjack table and ascertain if you have a view of the cards at the next table. Nor do you have to be a card counter or a blackjack player to know what happens when two games at two tables are running simultaneously creating the difficulties of seeing cards dealt at both tables.

Look Alan, as I stated this is nothing new or ground-breaking. When I posted I had no idea it would create this much controversy because I just assumed it was widely known that many experienced, professional level players do this.

Below are quotes from another site blackjackinfo, of several well known long-time blackjack card counters, 21forme, and Don Schlesinger, author of Blackjack Attack 3.

I have backcounted two tables at a time and also glanced at one to my right or left while actively playing for 40 years.

KJ - I do it, and also backcount two tables at the same time. Perhaps I'm taking credit I don't deserve, but I seem to recall introducing you to the technique via discussions we had many years ago.

Tables have to be positioned just right, and if someone sits in the wrong chair, that's the end of viewing the other table. Regarding seeing the cards on the next table while seated, having some HC experience is very helpful in being able to recognize the card values by pips, allowing identification from over 20 feet away.

This may have been before your time, but at the old Sands in AC, there was a balcony overlooking the table games. Some people had spotters up there to count down tables and point their players in the right direction.

I realize these names (handles) may not mean much to you Alan, but these are two well know, card counters, 21forme a professional AP for several decades and Don , while never a 'professional' player to my knowledge, a very well known mathematician and long-time 'serious' player, as well as author. In AP circles, these guys have a stellar reputation (although I am sure a whack job like Singer will belittle them).

Note the highlighted phrase from 21forme's post referencing pips and paint from 20 feet away. Almost exact terminology that I used a month ago.

I don't participate at BJ21 any longer (my choice), but that is a site where there are many such long-term experienced players post and participate, both professional and not. I know if I posted there asking who tracks multiple tables there would be a dozen replies.

Again, Alan tracking a second table is NOT anything new. Experienced players having been doing so since before I was born. I recognize this seems like a new concept to you, and as such, you find it hard to believe, but that is your dilemma, not mine.

And while I can produce probably a dozen experienced card counters, professional, semi-professional and even recreational, I can guarantee not one would be willing to put on a demonstration, for some "journalist" from an anonymous message board. You even thinking that, shows a clear lack of understanding of AP's and the AP mentality.
