It's always 3/4 deck, no matter general tables or VIP tables. But very few high rollers play BlackJack. There is a general 7.5k limit, maybe upwards to 20k if specially requested. Usually the wife/family members are the ones that play BJ, and think how often are families brought along? *wink*

For VIP rooms, BlackJack tables ratio to Baccarat is 1:50, maybe less and the table is usually not opened until requested, which is like never.

Question for Americans that play blackjack in casino's.

If there is a problem with card counting why don't they do what other countries do (say here in AUS) where they use 4-6 decks at one time, randomly shuffled and place a card marker around 3/4 through the deck so when that random card is dealt the next hand is a new deck.

it is impossible to count cards using this method.

They do and its not

I'm a ex-croupier.

Trust me when I say, they don't ban people from winning too much. It's same as the myth for regular people that management change dealers when the table is losing to slow the tempo.

For high rollers, most of them don't even cash out the ALL winnings. That only happens in Hollywood film that make everyone that watch it dumb.

There is ALSO no ban for losing too much, UNLESS requested in advance by the player. But it can easily be lifted by themselves. Usually 24hrs limit different.

Trust me, I dealed upwards of 750k, table limit even for VIP, per hand before.

so why in your opinion then?

They generally do use multiple decks with random markers.

Card counting, as most people understand it, isn't really possible in modern casinos.

and its not what? impossible or possible.

 

[Pakman]

That would make sense if he had been gambling at Station casinos.

doubt dana/Lorenzo/frank ever step foot inside station casinos. they all suck.

I don't understand what you are really asking.

If you are asking why Dana White got banned, then my answer is:
I trust 1, exactly 1 sentences, out of 10 that comes out of Dana White's mouth.

That said, I didn't really watch the video. :icon_twis

Forgive my ignorance as I'm not a gambler, but can a person really walk up to the roulette table, place a million dollars on red or black and have a 50/50 shot at it? Or does it not really work that way?

 

[Aasgaard]

interesting, they will not let you do that over here. if you try to place the divider card to close to the back of the deck they will stop you and dealer will place the card around 3/4 deck.

but saying that i'm talking about $10-20 tables, not big money tables.

I meant that players target games where the casino/dealer places the divider card deep in the deck. Believe it or not, there is actually a newsletter (i.e., Current Blackjack News) that provides information about the alleged level of "penetration" in a given casino.

There may also be situations where the dealer places the divider card deep in the deck in anticipation of a compensatory tip -- not an overt conspiracy or collusion but a situation where the dealer knows that s/he stands to gain from deep penetration and silently obliges the counter.

No, there are table limits, maximum amount you can bet, for different bets. Usually 1 for 1 odds bets are 50k, depending on Casinos and VIP. Not typically, 1m bet is not possible.

It's a close to 50/50 as possible I'd say.

So can can bet 50K on 50/50 odds? I still find that surprising.....I wouldn't think a casino would be willing to give such good odds.

Thanks for the info.

Damn Dana

The odds are not 50/50 because there is a zero and a double zero, which are green and neither red nor black.*

European roulette wheels generally have only the zero, while American roulette wheels generally have a zero and a double zero -- thereby hurting the player's odds. This discrepancy allegedly explains the relative popularity of roulette in the two continents, i.e., roulette is more popular in Europe.

* Specifically, the odds of winning a red/black bet are 47.4 percent because there are 38 slots, 18 red slots, 18 black slots, and 2 green slots -- 18/38 equals 0.474 with rounding.

Slightly less than 50/50 odds of course due to the green 0 and 00. The casinos aren't stupid enough to give 50/50 odds on anything.

Oh yeah.

My friend places roulette pretty much exclusively, and I completely forgot about the greens.

Just using one would make a red or black more likely though, wouldn't it?

I don't really understand your post fully, apologise if I response incorrectly below.

If you saying Dealers, colluding with with players which is possible, but usually not on BJ tables. Because even we don't know what cards comes next, another myth many people believe.

BUT if it was a auto-shuffler, look up 126 Shuffle Master, an experienced BJ dealer MIGHT be able have a better guess if PAIRS are coming. It's up to individual table of course and the better guess, is still a guess.

Unless the Dealer actually tampered with the cards themselves, it's impossible for them to know what's next.

 

[RachelZane**]

It's amazing to me that it's legal for them to ban players that win. Casinos are such a joke, I'll never understand why people support them.

why the fuck wouldnt they have the power to ban who they want from their own, private company?

holy autism

ah gotcha. most people over here don't tip and dealers at casinos are paid a decent wage.

Minimum wage over here is $16.50 and higher for casual employees....so people know the dealer/waitresses are doing fine and don't feel the need to tip.

I'm sure in VIP rooms they probably do tip though.
