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

Played at six different casinos today. Had some bad variance. Had some crazy things happen on the blackjack table. Discussed free cruises or so-called free cruises. Checked on a progressive slot machine to see if it was ready. Finally making a comeback!

Kind of an uneventful day today. Was only able to hit four casinos. The day kind of got away from me and I ended up short on time. Played some slot machines and counted cards.

Today I leave home early in order to pick up a large gift card from a casino. I hit one casino on the way out and another on the way back. Overall not a very organized day and things do get a little quiet at times. Today I made the decision to start taking one day a week off to play closer to home and have less stress. In order to do this, I will need to fine-tune things so that I make more money...

We fixed the car last night and there seem to be no further issues. We talked about some devices that may be useful when traveling. Played at five different casinos. Found it impossible to play Blackjack today. Why do you wear that? Got on TV from the casino?

In this episode we pick up where we left off in episode 115. After I let you go last time, I found out that I had 45 more minutes that I could gamble with. I was able to get to one more place on the way home. I woke up this morning ready to battle. But my car had other plans. Almost 200 miles away from home I get an error that it has low power and it cuts out on me on the highway. We still find a...

We started our day around midnight. We checked out a casino just to see what it was like at this time of day. We explored more machines than ever before as we had unlimited time. Got back home and went to sleep. Woke up in the morning and traveled to four other casinos. We were able to get some traction in blackjack although the counts were mainly negative today. We play some higher risk higher re...

In this episode we reviewed what happened over the weekend. I was supposed to visit five casinos today but was unable to complete the trip due to some unforeseen circumstances. I also had an event to get to tonight so I was unable to give it any more time. We played slot machines at two locations, but at the Third location although it is the largest of all the casinos we visited today, I could not...

I realized that I had a large free gift at a casino that I could not pass up. Left early in the morning to go pick it up. Along the way there and on the way back I stopped at another casino. Met another Advantage player today. Played blackjack and slot machines as well as picking up my free gift.

In this episode I start the day by picking up my car, finally! Due to a free play opportunity I had, I added some extra time to my trip going out of my way to pick it up.

I play three casinos there with some interesting observations.

Today we left home around 5:00 a.m.. the goal was to get an early enough start to find out what time the early birds check the machines. I was able to get some good intel by doing this. I also banned a casino for at least a year because their money pools are too small. Traveled to five different casinos and had two card counting sessions. Played slots at all five locations. Met another fellow Adva...

Today was kind of an odd day. It didn't feel good all day long. Had wild swings and very little profit. I met a man at one of my stops who has a lot more knowledge of slot machines than I do. He has sent me some pictures to review and he is going to work with me to learn some new machines. I got to see firsthand today more evidence of how the casino manipulates people and takes advantage of people...

In this episode I give a little more detail about how I spread when I was in vegas. I did this in order to answer a question from a listener. Hopefully this information helps. I also give a little more information about showing a loss playing slots when you are actually making a profit. This helps to extend your time at a casino. We have a long day as always with some pretty decent yet boring resu...

Today we get hit by a big sudden winter storm. We reevaluate and considering canceling the day. By the time it was over we were able to continue on and play a total of four locations. We played some blackjack and some slots and discovered some new things today. Card counting was not as good to us as it could have been, but we did very well otherwise.

Today we visit five casinos. We may have played on a table with another card counter. Again for the second time in a week a casino that used to know my name asked me for it and I refused it. We play a lot of slot machines and end up with a nice w-2.

In this episode we take a very long drive to a casino to finish a job we weren't able to do yesterday. It starts off as a very nice day but quickly the weather starts to turn bad. On the way back, the weather is so bad that there are huge accidents which slow us down and soon visibility is down to only hundreds of feet. We play Slots a few times and get a chance to play blackjack. One dealer gets...

Today we reflect a little bit on what happened yesterday and we play both Blackjack and slot machines at multiple locations. It's a long day, and we give ourselves a grade.

Started my journey early in the morning as it was very cold and rainy. Stopped at a place and got a pile of free drinks and candy bars. Created some new goals for the coming year.

Had to wrestle through a bunch of other slot players to try to make money today.

In this episode we discussed bankroll management. Just making sure that although bets may be positive expected value, you have to make sure that you have enough of a bankroll to be able to play that game. We take the biggest lost as an advantage slot player I've ever taken to this point. We figure out how to deal with it and move forward. Even though it is afternoon at that point, we have six more...
