Besides serving as distractions, the good-looking girls made small bets and ate cards when the count got bad."

I`ve seen and heard several different podcasts/articles about the Don Johnson plays. This article is something I hadn`t seen yet though; thanks for posting that. Did anyone else notice how in the bottom right-hand corner of each picture in the article, it says, "Credit: James Grosjean"? Not that I`m shocked he was involved; it makes way more sense that he was of course. I just hadn`t heard that before. That has to be the person who was dubbed "Andy" in the article.
Bingo! In the 888 article, when Andy was described as the sharpest mind in gambling I immediately thought of James Grosjean. Johnson wasn't just playing basic strategy. At a quarter percent the game was close anyway. Counting, sequencing and hole carding was going on (that's what Andy was there for) and when the shoe went negative the girls jumped in and ate up the bad cards until the it went back positive. Though Johnson was flat betting I'm sure, especially with Grosjean involved, there was an edge in there somewhere.
