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

Started as an ordinary Tuesday. But I decided to "work from home" and took a little trip. I ran into a casino and was immediately being watched. What's this guys problem?

Not exactly my best day. Trying to make money on a work day. Running home to help one of my kids take care of something. Then trying to make some money playing poker.

This episode is a look back at the last 68 months of Advantage Play. I talk about my history of play over the last almost 6 years. I talk about the path forward and how my play has changed over that time. I talk about how Blackjack used to dominate my play and how things have changed.

It's Sunday. First thing I do is stop by the casino and play some free play I have. That was a big mistake. I spent the rest of the day trying to win back the money. Table games, slots, and No Limit Hold'em today.

Coach by the numbers. He talks about quitting his job and immediately having success in the industry. He also talks about the changing landscape of the Advantage Play industry.

Today is Friday. I go to the office and check in. Then I take off for the day. I had a team meeting this morning. Afterward I was able to hit the tables and slots. I also played a decent session of Pot Limit Omaha I know I'm getting better but it's frustrating to go through the learning process sometimes.

In this episode I explore different games to make money. My played some Pot Limit Omaha as well. I set up my next trip. Also a busy day overall with work meetings.

Long drive. Long session. Big losses, and a comeback?

This day ended up a lot longer than I expected. Had three sessions of slots and one session of poker.

In this episode I play a couple sessions close to home. Going back to work between sessions. The goal was to get some poker in tonight as well but I ran out of time.

Sunday episode. I get a chance to play the tables today as well as some No Limit Hold'em and Pot Limit Omaha. Tried to hit the tables for a second time but couldn't find a decent table. Also got a few slots in today. Travel plans, upcoming week and more.

Checked in at the office and took off for the day. Luckily for me all the meetings that I had for today were canceled. A good session a blackjack, so good PLO, and some nice slots today.

Today was another long one. Long drive long sessions. Played some Blackjack first. Then I was able to get a very nice session of PLO in. A little slots rounded things out. I also got a chance to have a good conversation with a friend of mine who is an AP.

Today is wednesday. I played three sessions of Blackjack with good results on all three. And gave most of it back on one bad session of Pot Limit Omaha. Overall a good day. I was not identified until my last session of Blackjack.

Not exactly the most exciting episode. We lost another person at the office. Our team is getting smaller and smaller. I had a couple sessions at the casino. Was planning on playing poker tonight but that didn't pan out.

Got a call from vegas last night about a play. We decided to split it. $50/spin. Work day Monday. Slot play. Lunch with work teammates.

I might be coming out and giving all my information freely. It looks like I may have to testify against a politician. Some crooked stuff is going on and I have the proof. Politician tries to badmouth me when I have the truth on my side. Played a little poker today and some slots as well. I got a little angry and snappedp back at the Poker Club cashier.

Friday morning and I forget to check in at work. So I have to backtrack. Finally arrive at the casino. 2 Blackjack sessions. I play Baccarat to see if they put me in the system. I make $0.75 and they record it as a $600 win. Time to call gaming!

Today was definitely not what I expected. Going to a casino to play a few slots and some blackjack, maybe some Omaha. Instead I play a little Blackjack and a ton of slots. I end up sharing a group pull. After finishing up with that group, I end up continuing to play with a different set of people. Overall I ended up with three jackpots.

This episode started off like a normal day. A long drive, a few sessions of blackjack and some slot play. A little bit of Pot Limit Omaha as well.

This is my Tuesday episode. I had to drop some kids off at school real early first. I went home and relaxed for a few minutes before heading off to work. It looked like it would be a boring day. I played a few slot sessions. Afterward I went home and hung out with the family for a while before going to play some no limit hold'em.

Monday at the office. Playing close to home.

Decided to stay in your home this week. Got a chance to play a few times at a nearby casino. Also spent four and a half hours playing poker. Got a chance to rest up a little bit for the new week. The last few weeks have been so hectic.

Alaskan Cruise. Princess Cruise Line.

What a long day. Reviewing a few possible casinos for future visits. Blackjack, slots. Navigating facial recognition. A swing back to my first stop.

Whenever I think I've seen it all. I end up winning the high hand while playing Pot Limit Omaha. I am asked for my identification. I have to figure out how I'm going to answer the question since the guy asking me is also a Pit Boss at the blackjack tables. A few sessions of blackjack. A giant jackpot winner.

Something strange is happening. Casinos creating cards for players without permission. Assigning incorrect play to people. Only a matter of time before the big backoff.

Labor Day episode. I leave home early in the morning and head out to a casino. I play two sessions of blackjack, both mediocre. I have a tough time with slots on repeated sessions. And too tough sessions of poker. Overall not a good day. One that I want to forget.

This episode is the last day of my trip, and the drive home. I wake up at 2:00 a.m. and get to work. Get some Blackjack sessions and poker as well as slots. I also travel to some tiny casinos as well.

Talk about giving it your all! I did everything I could to make money today. Long sessions, short sessions, slots, everything I could think of.

This was a crazy long day. I played until early in the morning only slept a few hours and then started up again. I visited tons of different casinos. I played blackjack and slots. I even contemplated playing poker. I also picked up a few gifts from casinos.

This is part one of the first segment of traveling across the country trying to find good places to make money consistently. This episode I leave home early in the morning travel hundreds of miles before reaching even my first stop. Overall a very long and exhausting day. I finally go to sleep around 4:00 in the morning 23 hours after I left home.

Not your regular Tuesday. Today I played some slots as I normally would but also had a super nice session of poker. Talk about making something out of nothing. 1-2 no limit brings huge gains. And a short session of slots brings a nice price as well.

It is the Monday of the big week of my trip. Just trying to make a little money here and there online and in casinos.

In this Sunday episode, I test the waters to find out if I'm still welcome at a couple casinos. I find that it is extremely busy and hard to get a seat at any table. We cobble together some small wins and hope next week is better.

What a crazy day. Trespassed at the door. Then trespassed at the table at the next stop.

Started off as a slow day, full of frustration, got worse before it got better. Two tough blackjack sessions, a tough poker session and anemic slots. Then something changed due to an hour meeting being cut to under 10 min. Then there was time for another session. And it payed off.

Yet another crazy day. Starting to get a little out of control. More big swings.

Tuesday episode. Turning nothing into something. A little slots and a little poker.

This is my Monday episode. I got zero sleep last night. Got dressed and went to work. Had a long exhausting day. Then I started feeling bad late in the afternoon. The plan was to go play some poker but it never materialized due to a short illness.

My Sunday night episode ends up being a long one. Travel through different cities with multiple sessions of blackjack including double deck. Pot Limit Omaha and slot machines as well. I'm back on the winning side of things again.

Another incredibly volatile day. The pain continues. Having swings of about $6,000 up and down. Crowded tables and slow dealers. Bad variance continues to give me pain. I'm ready to have a day off tomorrow so I can recover and get ready for next week.

Good morning starts off a little rough. At my first stop I take a big drop. And my second stop I'm down as much as 5200. I'll look so hopeless. Then things started to change.

Bad variance playing blackjack, slots, and poker today.

This is my Tuesday episode. It looked like it was going to be just a boring Tuesday at first. I went to the casino and played some slots. Had my annual review. Went back to the casino for more slots.
