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

Today was a longer day. Lots of driving and a long session in the casino. Then driving home. Later, leaving with the wife to go gamble.

This is a Monday episode. This episode starts at midnight many many hours away from home. Somehow I make it home in one piece. I get a few hours of sleep and then head back out to make more money. It's a Monday but I'm off from work. This episode is a mix of family time and play. I play until midnight trying to get points.

This episode takes place on Saturday and Sunday. There's a lot of stuff going on here. From going to dinner with the family at the casino, to driving half a dozen hours to play blackjack.

We try team slot pulls 4 times and every one is a disaster. Wonging in. Being followed. Multiple entries on me today. Confronting to manager. Big swing blackjack.

As the year is coming to a close I'm experiencing big swings. Unfortunately today swing is very bad. I lose a tremendous amount of money. I cancel one of my Casino visits. I meet with another AP. I travel to one casino with my wife.

In this episode I end up playing five sessions of blackjack. I am aggressively looking for tables and even Wonging in. I have some good results but I still can't shake the bad attitude.

Meeting a friend. Two sessions today. Just trying to get by. Big day tomorrow.

Today was a work day. I went to the casino for my first session. I'm at the front there. I took some unnecessary risks as well as having some awful variance. I didn't make a little bit of a comeback but still ended up being a bad day.

Waking up after a very long night of play. 3 hours of rest before heading out for the day. Airport travel. Huge snowstorm. The trip home.

Playing Hard Rock Tulsa,Cherokee Grove West,The Stables, Buffalo Run,Quapaw, High winds, Indigo Sky, Riverbend.

This episode supposed to be focused on my arrival in Oklahoma and some of my play there. But the fact is that I had multiple flight delays which caused me to have to stay overnight in chicago. Not wanting to waste time and not wanting to waste money on a hotel room, I opted to rent a car. I then drove that car to Milwaukee Wisconsin to gamble. Afterward, I travel back to Chicago and hit a couple casinos before finally flying to Oklahoma. This episode is an example of making something out of a bad situation and triumphing. This episodes includes results from three casinos in the Chicago and Milwaukee area as well as a large number of casinos in Oklahoma. Overall about 46 hours of travel and gambling without sleep.

My never ending trip. Traveling to Oklahoma, no Illinois, no Wisconsin? Travel delays, nowhere to sleep, no free rooms.

Getting ready for Oklahoma. Gambling with the wife.

What an incredibly bad start to the day. Followed by an even worse continuation to the day. But there was a surprise waiting at the end.

Coaches Corner Episode 8. Relationships and gambling.

This was definitely a long day. After going to church and having lunch with the family, we drove to a nearby town to have Christmas pictures taken by photographer. It was after 4:00 p.m. that I was finally able to leave home for a journey of over 500 miles. And I still had to be at work by 8:00 a.m.

In this episode I talk to a Pit Boss about what's been going on and ask for some honest information. I also talk about the crazy stuff that's been happening with Penn gaming and some sports betting companies. I don't make a lot of money in this episode but I learn a lot.

Here is another crazy day. Went to the casino to play some Blackjack and slots. After my first slot session I looked for a blackjack table to play. As soon as I settled in I saw a Pit Boss running over to put me in the system. I grabbed my chips and walked away from the table. No harm done. I played another session of slots and was ready to leave. On my way out I discovered that I still had chips in my pocket so I went back into cash them. At this point I was ready to leave when I ran into a friend of mine. He had a play that no one wanted to split with him. So we split the play and made a nice hit before going home. On my travel to and from the casino I made over $1,000 playing online.

This is my Wednesday episode. Left home early on a dark and cold morning. Traveled a very long way and only got one session of blackjack in. Also played a few sessions of slots and met with some friends. Discussed what the path forward is going to be.

Not knowing what to do today, I stayed near home most of the day. I took care of a lot of personal business like going to the post office and going to the bank. Took care of updating my charts and paying bills as well. Later in the evening I left to go to a different region. I had one game in mind. I also talked a lot about the silver markets and what's been going on with them.

This was a very long and exhausting day. I had a very hard time making money and ended up at a casino for over 12 hours today. To top it off, on the way home I ended up in a giant snow storm and it took an extra four plus hours to get home.

Boy with a journey it was. We finally got home from our trip tired and cold. We unpacked and I got back to work immediately. I went to the closest casino and hit them up for some funds. This is also a mail bag episode.

Cashing out $3900 on chips. Slots and more.

This episode starts in the evening the day after Thanksgiving. I start by playing some slots and then move on to another casino where I end up trapped at a blackjack table for over 3 hours. I take tremendous swings on a double deck with 1-20 spread and three Pit Bosses watching over me.

Thanksgiving day. I go down to the casino and bring my family with me. I get them some Starbucks while I go in and look at slot machines. I have an awful session. We go spend the day with the rest of the family. Afterward I spend most of the night trying to get back to even for the day.

First day of out Thanksgiving trip. Four casinos. Nice results. Blackjack and slots.

It looked safe. So I hit them hard. Then my heart sank. They knew.

Day off of work today. I went to the casino a few times and played slots. I also played some 5 card Pot Limit Omaha.

This was a crazy messy day. After hanging out with the family Sunday morning and early afternoon I head out for my trip. It was a long drive to my first casino but I was able to get there and play Blackjack, Pot Limit Omaha, and some other games. I had a nice big session on the Blackjack but the rest were kind of garbage. I was able to sneak into another casino but my game was not open. I attempted to sneak into another casino but was not able to get in.

I had a terrible day today. I attempted to go to an area that I usually do not visit because of the low opportunity, because we had a play there. I quickly found out that the play was no longer there and I was stuck in an area where I couldn't make a lot of money. I end up having a miserable day.

In this episode I made some mistakes. I start off with a couple nice wins. I go for another one when disaster strikes. I then go play Blackjack with no regard to being backed off. Again big swings. I talked to a couple friends and leave very disappointed.

Kind of unusual episode today. Go off on a tangent to start the episode to explain the reason why some people win and some people have a harder time in this business. I visit a casino where I play slots, poker, and blackjack. I end up counting my money and finding out I have too much cash for some reason. On the way home I end up stopping at a church.

In this episode I have two sessions of slots. I take care of my work and plan for the next couple weeks away from the office. I also play Pot Limit Omaha online.

This is my Monday episode. Going back and forth between the office and the casino. But I had a couple very nice sessions today considering how limited I was. Also talked about plans for travel between now and to the end of the year. Should be two or three trips. Also played some poker before going to bed.

In this episode I have a long drive as always. I play some Blackjack and some slots before meeting with a friend. We travel to another casino together where we have a very long slot play that doesn't quite work out. I then come back and play more Blackjack before heading home.

I am back home again. I played some poker and some slots today. I also addressed some since I got through email.

Today was an incredible day! All the research I had done over the last few days was really paying off. On top of that variance was on my side.

Today started off as a really tough day but things turned around and we closed out the day in a great way.

So much going on today.I visited the Venetian, the Wynn Casino, The Orleans, Durango, The Palms, Gold Coast, Rio, and Caesars today.

In this episode I visited Southpoint, Silverton, Green Valley Ranch, Westgate, the Wynn casino, the Venetian, Casino Royale, Harrah's, Caesar's Palace, and Encore Casino. This was day one of my trip to Las Vegas.

In this episode I make final plans for Las Vegas. I call a few other casinos to get some backup hotel rooms. I also booked my rental car. I end up not going to far from home as I have a flight very very early in the morning. I play some slots and some poker including another poker tournament online. I cash in my second tournament in 3 days including one first place and one 7th place.

End of the week action. Almost getting in an accident.

Exhausted! Staying closer to home today. Slots. Live poker. Online Omaha.

Wednesday episode. Driving over 10 hours to cash vouchers and play.

What a crazy day! I woke up to a suspicious car sitting outside my house. After finally calling the sheriff's office I found out they were there to protect me. Today was election day and emotions were running high. I was able to get two sessions in at the local casino before going home to watch the election results.

Monday episode. Planning my Vegas trip.

It's a new week. Sunday night. Tables, slots, Pot Limit Omaha. Seeing other APs.

Continuation of my overnight. Drove all the way here for this?

In this episode I take the long route. I go from casino to casino and end up over 6 hours away from home at my farthest point. I have to get fuel three times along the way. This was an interesting trip although I don't feel like I gained too much. But I did get information I didn't know before.

Multiple 4+ hour drives today. More blackjack issues. Slot play. Pot Limit Omaha.

Another long hard frustrating day. Time to quit?
