Just basic hi-lo system...one of the best systems because of its combo of simplicity and betting correlation. It seems hard at first when trying to do it at playing speed, but after a while you get used to it. Card counting conditions aren't nearly as good as they used to be though. Foxwoods used to deal close to 7 out of 8 decks in the shoe. I think now its probably closer to 6 out of 8...still plenty beatable, but not nearly as good as 7/8. Mohegan has had awful conditions for years, which is why we rarely played there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably made a ton of money too given his smarts, and the 50/hrs per week part too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ski MRG Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Well, I am shocked at Will's stunning admission. I never would have pictured Will as a card counting casino guy. Undoubtedly he's mixed up with the mob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought about doing it..especially in my early 20s when my memory and concentration were probably peak. Anyways we should have a more widespread gtg coming up in April or May. We've done it the past two years in Foxboro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
