Rigged Game - Blackjack, Card Counting, Slots, Casinos, poker and Advantage Play Podcast

It was another one of those days. Some crazy stuff happening at home before I leave for my overnight. Finally get everything taken care of and head to my first casino. Crazy car stuff. Slots and then attempted blackjack. Slots that attempted blackjack. You know the drill.

First, I had to stop by the office to check in. Then I picked up one of the kids from home and drop them off at school. Finally I had to stop by a place to pick some things up that my wife ordered. After that I was finally able to get down to making money. Blackjack and slots today.

Starting off bad and getting worse. The story of bad slots, bad poker, and a bad attitude.

Today was a long day. Left home early and had a 4-Hour journey to my first casino. I hung around there most of the day spending about 9 hours on and off in and out of the casino. Was able to get a few sessions of blackjack in although they weren't as long as I would have liked. Also played slots.

Tuesday, work, taxes, brokerage house, slots and more.

Do I ever get a peaceful day? Today I am trying to file my taxes as well as my children's taxes. I'm also trying to open up two brokerage accounts for the deadline. Plus go to work and gamble as always.

Trying desperately to find a blackjack game to play. A long night of looking good for plays.

Boy oh boy! Trying to find a game.

It was definitely an unusual day. This was my Thursday episode and I expected to play tons of blackjack today. Instead the most unusual things seemed to happen. Still ended up a good day though.

A nice long wednesday. I finally got a chance to play Blackjack. Seems like it's been forever.

Start it off as a regular Tuesday. I went to work, then played a little. Went back to work and then back to the casino again. However this time I was called away to help a kid see their dying dog.

The Monday after Easter, and I am back at work and back at the casinos. Car is ready!

Here we go again! Another back off. After a difficult day as well. I played blackjack, Pot Limit Omaha, and slots today.

What a crazy day. Differences in temperature from home to the area I was playing exceeded 40°. Working hard to find games to play and opportunity in the casino.

Here we go again. Back on the road. Back playing Blackjack and facing the same issues.

It's actually tough to be back home again. It's great to see the family, but the money making potential is so limited now. I go back to work today, and try to make a little money at the casinos. I'm planning my next trip as well.

Wynn, Venetian, Palazzo, Caesars, Airport and online.

Palazzo, Wynn, Encore. Sam's Town, Boulder Station, Caesars, Rampart, Gold Coast. Red Rock, M Resort, Green Valley Ranch.

The day of pain and suffering. Winning a little, then losing a little. Having suspicion cast on me. One disappointing session after another.

Another frustrating day. Working hard to try to make money and after working the whole day, having one of my last sessions wipe everything out and more.

This is day two of my Las Vegas trip. Unfortunately this trip has not been going as planned. I take some time to walk from the Wynn Casino all the way down to Stratosphere. I hit the casinos along the way. With some unusual circumstances. Later I play blackjack with an unknown card counter. I don't even think he knew that I was doing the same thing. I finish out my day at the Orleans where I had the most fun.

Today started off in a sent enough. I saw a friend of mine again for the second time in a week after not seeing him for 20 years. The flight to Vegas was on eventful. But right away fireworks started as soon as I got here. Had issues with Hertz Rent a Car. Then went to a bunch of smaller casinos where I got my butt kicked frustration kicked in. I had to come back from Deep holes multiple times. I left multiple casinos with deficits.

Las Vegas incoming. New countertops.

Monday episode. Two sessions at the casino and some online play as well.

Somehow I miscalculated the amount of time I had today. I was actually going to try for a 1,000 MI journey round trip. What was I thinking? At my third stop, I was playing my first slot machine when a very shy looking and very scared looking lady walked up to me and told me that the casino made a business decision to exclude me. She had a paper with my name already written on it. That changed everything. I was going to hit a few more of their casinos and had to cancel that. Right around that time I realized that I had miscalculated the time and wouldn't have had the ability to go to all the casinos I wanted to visit today anyway.

Friday episode. Trying over and over to find a decent game. Ended up playing for a short time. Also please lots and some online time. Afterwards I spent some time with my kid.

Actually was a decent day. Although at first it seemed like I was going to be somewhat delayed. I was asked to take care of someone else's work first thing in the morning because that person was on vacation. I swung by the office and handled some of that work, before heading out to my first Casino. After my first Casino I played some poker, then went back to that casino before wrapping it up and going home. I did play some online and made some money there as well.

Blackjack, slots, and poker. Wild Wednesday. Taking a dive before taking flight.

As if being Tuesday wasn't bad enough, the local casino that I visit is putting in new slots, all bad. They are taking out good machines and putting in bad ones. This episode teaches you how not to win.

Sometimes I feel like this is a job digging trenches. It's been an awful couple of days but there is an end in sight. Good stuff coming soon.

And... another back off! Here we go again.

Friday trip. when I stopped for my team meeting I noticed that the wind was incredibly strong. Later on I would find out exactly how strong. Blackjack and slots. Talking about the Las Vegas Trip

This is part two of my Wednesday overnight episode. I wrap up my Wednesday into Thursday with three more casinos. I drive home and get a little bit of rest. Get up and play a Slots Casino, take a break to go to the Poker Club then back to the slots only casino. Finally back to the Poker Club for a session of 1-2 NL Hold'em.

This was an interesting trip. Started off kind of slow. But I slowly put together some wins. Finally when things look like they were good and I was winding down for the day I took large loss putting me negative for the rest of the night. After that I went from casino to casino trying to put things back together again.

Tuesday episode. On my way to the casino I saw that the roads were closed for miles. It took me a long time to get around the closure and finally get to my casino. The casino didn't have a lot of plays available. Even when I came back in the afternoon things were pretty quiet. However I did finally see why the road was closed.

Just another Monday. Wish I was in Vegas.

Making money on a Sunday. blackjack, slots and more.

Not the most exciting day, but was able to get some action in and make some money.

Slots and poker today.

Wednesday overnight episode. Today was a really long day. Played at eight different casinos. Got some table games play in but not as much as I would have liked. Overall a lot of miles for an okay amount of money. Definitely worth it but tiring.

This was my Tuesday episode. Unfortunately had a rough time at the casino in my first session. I was down as much as $1,000 and kept bumping around near the bottom. Went back to work, then came back for another session.

Planning my next trip to Vegas. Monday episode. Working at the office, playing slots and getting ready for my next trip.

Sunday episode. I left home a little late today. I was still able to have some decent variety though. I did play some Blackjack and some slots today as well as go back to a casino that I was removed from multiple times.

I got home around 5:00 a.m. this morning and left a little after 7:00 a.m. I played slots and some online games. I also played live 1-2 No Limit Hold'em.

Another long day today. About 900 Mi plus. Left home early and drove about 5 hours to my first Casino after checking in at the office. Played there for what seemed like forever, only breaking even. There was some controversy there over a $350 double down hand. And then I moved on to another area. Played a few casinos there with some success. Also played some No Limit Hold'em at low stakes and lost to a royal flush. Afterward I moved on to a small Casino in a remote area, before hitting the big city. Overall was a very long day and was about 23 hours round trip.

It started off as a normal Wednesday. And slowly spiraled into anger. I actually mocked the Pit Bosses today. I played some Blackjack and some slots. Eventually settling for some thrift storing.

Getting increasingly angry as the day went on, I finally decided to cut my day short and head home.

Getting I'm back into the office. Answering emails, getting caught up on work and team meetings. I'm back at my local casino for a few sessions today.

My Sunday episode. Ended up being a very snowy day. On the way home the roads were completely covered. Had a decent day. Got back into a casino that I was kicked out of twice, including once with a police escort.

Playing at The Venetian, Wynn, Airport, home casino. Gamblers supply superstore.

Every time I think I have things figured out I'm thrown for a loop. This was an absolutely crazy day of ups and downs. Big plays and nothing results. Big money and big disappointments.
