My Real Blackjack Life 8 | AP Back Off

This video is for entertainment.

It is an honest depiction on my life as a professional gambler. I have spent years training and do not recommend anyone attempt anything you see here without proper training and bankroll. Never gamble more than you can afford to lose. A professional certainly never would.

While I do slip lessons in here, no one can learn to beat the casinos simply by watching the videos I post to the public. The lessons are meant for people who are already AP gamblers or to minimize loses for recreational players

Everything I do is completely legal and takes place in legal brick and mortar casinos.

Spoiler Alert!

If you have been watching this series and want to be surprised do not read any further until after you watch.

I knew it was coming but I’m still not happy about it. Yep! You guessed it! I got the back off. Not much of a spoiler when it’s in the subtitle but you still don’t know the details.

His exact words were, “We have reason to believe you are card counting.” I was thinking and… Card counting is not illegal. All that means is I am using information that all players have access to more intelligently than the average player, Anyone can do it. It would be like saying, you can’t play chess with us because you looked too closely at the board and remembered how I moved my pieces last time.

Of course I didn’t say all that. I said, “Is there another way to play Blackjack?”

What I am worried about now is my welcome at the other casino in town and even the ones within an hour drive, Many casinos will “flyer” advantage players. That means they will let other casinos know that there is a player who can beat the game legally in town. That has happened to me before. There are several casinos in this area with good penetration and decent rules. More importantly for me right now is that most also have $5 tables,

If you have not been watching this series, here is a brief recap;

I have been a professional gambler for over a decade. 2019 started out great. I started with a gross profit of over $10,000 in January 2019.

I knew this could not last. Despite that knowledge, I spent way too much money this year. Vacations, new furniture, dining out at expensive restaurants, living life.

Now I am trying to rebuild the bankroll. Follow me on this journey. I don’t know how it will end but the idea of going back to a “real” job seems unthinkable to me.

This is an unfiltered view of my life as a professional blackjack player. You will see the wins and the loses. I hold nothing back. Most episodes will feature real casino play. Unlike reality TV series this is my real life. I don’t have script writers, a director or producer. I don’t even have a camera man.

  1. Hey man great video. Just wondering what would you say is the maximum percentage of your bankroll you could loose before saying this isnt my night.

  4. I always hate losing to an attractive female dealer, because they'll take your money with a smile… like you paid for it!

  6. 5mins in I could easily tell you don't know how to count cards very well I think you may need more practice before calling yourself a card counter

  8. Your down $700 and they bar you from playing. I guess they should done it when you walked in the door. Then they would have had $700 less money. This is why I hate casinos. You will never hurt them with what you are betting. I can understand it if you were playing with black chips. It would be to their advantage to have someone winning at the table because it would encourage losing players to try their luck. The same holds true for the rules. The better the rules for the player the greater the chance a player has to make horrible mistakes. I saw someone double down on 12 against a 4 on the first hand from a single deck with a $100 bet. He drew a face card and busted. This was in 1994 when $100 was a lot of money.

  10. Personally, I would have comped you a room so you could dump more money at my casino. The way you were playing (increasing bets when losing, standing on 16 against a 10 valued card, and taking insurance,) you looked like some compulsive gambler chasing your loses. I know that the count is going to vary your basic strategy some and will require you to vary your bets, but going from nickles to quarters isn't going to cause me to run you off. So what if you are counting cards, Yippie I oh ky yeah ky am, you're not going to hurt me, even if you do win. Hell, it might even be good for business for people to see you win, so they try some of that too and tap out. Teams are what casinos need to worry about. They can hit you for tens of thousands before you know what happened. The low level card counter like yourself can make money, but it is a freaking grind. You will need to play some marathon sessions (I remember when I played a 37 hour session. The dealers that were there went home and came back to work their next shift the following day and I was still sitting in the same seat.) just to run your EV through enough money to make a living wage. Eventually, I gave it up when I figured that I could make $10 more per hour (before taxes – yeah, they suck!) punching a clock.You know what, there might have been some software program that flagged you as a counter. Figures, huh? They can use a computer on you but you can't use one on them.
