I envision something like this...we station a player at each table, who will count and flat bet the minimum.
They will verify the count after the demo, the demonstrator will play mid-table and do his thing.
Wouldn't this be practical?
We don't need a bunch of people standing around counting, the demo player doesn't even have to know who the plant are.
How would this scenario be any more risky than how the demo player would normally be playing anyway.
If we have players claiming that they can play at one table and count a second table under live casino conditions,
then the demonstration needs to be under live casino conditions, otherwise it amounts to practice...don't you agree?
I'm skeptical that a player can play one table, count a second table, change tables when favorable, and not get "made" by the pit.
I don't think it's impossible, but I am interested in seeing the skill demonstrated.
I just have my doubts, and that's why I'm willing to wager against it.
