Rigged Game - Advantage Play, Blackjack, Card Counting, Slots, and Poker podcast

Due to the job , I had to stay in town on the first day. However I was able to do a lot more on day two. On the second day I left bright and early in the morning on my way to a five casino session route. I had a lot of chips to cash as well. By the time the day was over I had played blackjack at five different casinos of the six I hit today. All in all it was a great day. However I could not exten...

When I started this episode I did not expect to go out of town today. I visited one Casino during my lunch break and did pretty well. After work I went home and had dinner with the family and then decided to go back out again. I proceeded to go on a 400 Mi journey starting around 6:00 p.m. although I was tired I was able to keep my concentration and do a good job today. Also in this episode I disc...

After dropping off my car to the mechanic, I went to pick up a rental car. Afterward I started a 400 Mi journey for the day. After my first stop, I was very frustrated. Things were not going as expected. At that point I made a big announcement for next month. Afterward I played a couple sessions of blackjack. After those two sessions, I backtracked to the second casino that I visited today. Follow...

In this episode we leave home early in the morning as always. We rush to the first casino. We get stuck on a machine and end up frustrated and disgusted. We then go play Blackjack and get stuck on a bad table with a bad pit. We have to walk away down and scramble to cover up what we are doing. After that point things start to turn around. But not before taking some big dives at every spot we stop...

In this episode we balance three things. Time management issues, issues with the car, and the ability to win. By working hard, finding the right machines in a little bit of positive variance we make big strides today. We are back on top with a new all-time high for the year. In this episode I also discuss plans to play in Canada starting in 2 weeks. There are still some kinks to work out though.

This episode covers a few days that I was stuck in town. Still making money but not the pace I would like. Working on the car to get it ready for later this week.

This episode covers the weekend. Most importantly, on Sunday night. We hit for casinos Sunday night. We were expecting to do more but we had some car trouble. It seems like the car is having transmission issues. After hitting the casinos we struggled to figure out a way to get home.

In this episode we continue our push to get back to even for the week. We play four sessions of blackjack. We play five sessions of slot machines. In the process of fighting to get our money back for the week, we run into an advantage player at the blackjack table. While sitting at $100 table the guy walks up with a few hundred dollars in chips and sits down. It doesn't take long for us to figure...

It's our 1 year anniversary. The day started off innocently enough. We played 6 sessions. 6 slot and 4 blackjack sessions. Today we faced huge variance swings. All in all we ended up down but not huge. We were down $11.5k at one casino.

In this episode we figure out more information about what happened with the casino yesterday regarding the cashing out. This episode is also the last one of my first year doing this podcast. Tomorrow will begin the second year of the podcast. We make a couple short plays today and get ready for tomorrow's big day.

This episode takes place on Saturday Sunday and Monday. Most of the action happens Monday night after work. I travel to a casino where I get stuck on a table for 2 and 1/2 hours. Even worse, I didn't bring as much money as I normally do and almost get punished for it. Afterward, I'm trying to cash out my chips when the casino personnel lie to me and try to get my personal information. I called the...

In this episode we hit six different casinos. We grind out a decent profit and a double deck table. We struggle a little bit with slots but still end up making some money.

We leave early in the morning with our laptop for work so we can do both jobs at the same time. We end up hitting six casinos. Overall it was a picture perfect performance. Everything went well and I was able to do my job at the same time. With today's big performance added to the rest of the week, we earned about 1.8 times our goal for the week already.

In this episode we finally get a chance to meet the Pit Boss we've been trying to interview. He and I spend over 2 hours having a friendly conversation. A lot of the most important questions that people ask in blackjack card counting or addressed in this interview. I also got some insight into how the casino operates. I also learned about how security works and how Pit Bosses work as well.

This episode starts when I leave home around 5:00 p.m. Saturday night. I travel to my first casino and realized that I am outnumbered. There are so many AP players at this location that I don't even try to make money. I move on to my second spot and realize some small games. And then I move on to my real destination of the day. I end up very at blackjack and spend over 3 hours getting out of the h...

Finding a way to get play time in. Traveled over 400 miles and worked a job in the car, did meetings, and still beat the casino villans. Great way to wrap up the week. Never give up. Trying to set up dinner with a pitboss. Also played slots today.

In this episode we take a risk and say we are working from home. Instead, we hit the casinos. We have a positive day in poker, blackjack and slots. We have a couple interesting stories as well. Overall it was a good day and we were able to make up for not being able to get out earlier in the week. Hopefully tomorrow will just be gravy on top.

This episode covers two days. Unfortunately due to work conditions I am unable to get out to play much.

Today was my first day at the new job. I got to the office around 8:45 a.m. for my training. I did the normal paperwork and hung in there until the end of the day. At 5:00 p.m. I left for my first casino. It wasn't until 1:45 a.m. before I started heading toward home. All in all not the worst day. But only made around $900. Still trying to figure out this crazy situation and how to make it all wor...

In this episode we leave home Saturday evening to try to get more hours of expected value in. I take a little time to talk about a friend who came along with me yesterday for my trip. After I dropped him off at home he sat in his chair and passed away. He will be missed. This evening I visited six casinos. Including one where I could get some Blackjack time in. Ended up adding to the total for the...

In this episode we continue hitting the casinos hard. We show no mercy and approach our weekly goal even after the $9500 hit we took Wednesday. We invite a pit boss to dinner and he accepts.

We got right back on the road after yesterday's big loss. Today we played two sessions of blackjack and four sessions of slot machines. We also played one session of No Limit Hold'em. All in all it was a decent day. Not a lot of ups and downs. We are moving in the right direction though. Somehow we were already able to get ahead for the week again. Tomorrow we build on our games. No mercy.

The day starts off innocently enough. At my first stop I take an early $1600 slot loss followed by a quick recovery. After my second stop I thought things were going well. I reached my weekly goal. But, trouble was around the corner. I take an almost 5 figure loss. On my way out, I hit them back with a nice slot hit. At this point, I took the gloves off. It was on!

Not the most exciting day in the world. Played some blackjack, No Limit hold'em, and slot machines. Overall was a positive day, but not a lot of excitement. There were a few decent stories though. I to get aggressive with a guy so that I can get his machine.

Playing 6 casinos. Card counting at 4 casinos. Slot play at all 6. I signed up for online poker. Learning new advantage plays. We review last weeks activities and make plans for this week.
