Blackjack in Vegas (counting cards) Posted by Scott Paterson [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() |
I learned how to count the cards in blackjack about 20 years ago. This past weekend, my wife and some close friends went to Las Vegas to celebrate my recent birthday. We stayed downtown where we can find $5 or $10 single deck play.
I had my best trip ever. I never once had a losing session and even turned $100 into $740 during a single session at Binion's Horseshow. I also got a lot of heat during which I was limited to increasing my bet 3X or limiting my betting to $10. Finally, on Sunday morning, a casino rep came over to our table, stopping at my chair and told me, "Sorry sir, I'm going to have to call "No Action" on you. You are too good for our blackjack game. You can play any other game in the casino except blackjack." I said that's ok and cashed in my chips. Thankfully, Four Queens had $5 single deck to I could go play.
So, first time ever I have been kicked off the table. When I went to Reno last year, I got no heat even though I would go from one bet of $5 to two hands on $40 each.
