Rigged Game - Advantage Play, Blackjack, Card Counting, Slots, and Poker podcast

In this episode we pick up where we left off in episode 115. After I let you go last time, I found out that I had 45 more minutes that I could gamble with. I was able to get to one more place on the way home. I woke up this morning ready to battle. But my car had other plans. Almost 200 miles away from home I get an error that it has low power and it cuts out on me on the highway. We still find a way to get some play in today but the results were not good.

We started our day around midnight. We checked out a casino just to see what it was like at this time of day. We explored more machines than ever before as we had unlimited time. Got back home and went to sleep. Woke up in the morning and traveled to four other casinos. We were able to get some traction in blackjack although the counts were mainly negative today. We play some higher risk higher reward slots with some mixed results. We talked about the addiction that the world instills in all of us. This includes everything from drugs, alcohol, relationship issues, cars, houses and much more. We discuss the problem and work on a solution. The day had to be cut short due to meetings but we still got a good day in.

In this episode I travel to five different casinos. Most of my day is spent playing slot machines although I had a very long session playing blackjack. Got buried playing blackjack. Working hard to beat the slot machines. Reflected some on yesterday's activities. A few stories from today.

In this episode we reviewed what happened over the weekend. I was supposed to visit five casinos today but was unable to complete the trip due to some unforeseen circumstances. I also had an event to get to tonight so I was unable to give it any more time. We played slot machines at two locations, but at the Third location although it is the largest of all the casinos we visited today, I could not find a single machine to play. I also played blackjack at that casino with some bad results.

I realized that I had a large free gift at a casino that I could not pass up. Left early in the morning to go pick it up. Along the way there and on the way back I stopped at another casino. Met another Advantage player today. Played blackjack and slot machines as well as picking up my free gift.

In this episode I start the day by picking up my car, finally! Due to a free play opportunity I had, I added some extra time to my trip going out of my way to pick it up. I end up playing at four casinos today. And one session of blackjack at a new location. I go to a city that I have not been to in almost a year. I play three casinos there with some interesting observations.

In this episode we get off to a late start due to a meeting with someone happening later than expected. When we are close to our first spot, I have to stop for a work meeting. We play at five casinos. We play Blackjack and AP slots. We have some decent results. When we are at the blackjack table at our second to last Casino we are called by a fellow AP about a must hit by slot that may be in position to pay. So I leave the table and start heading toward that casino which is 5 hours away. At this point is already late in the day.

Today we left home around 5:00 a.m.. the goal was to get an early enough start to find out what time the early birds check the machines. I was able to get some good intel by doing this. I also banned a casino for at least a year because their money pools are too small. Traveled to five different casinos and had two card counting sessions. Played slots at all five locations. Met another fellow Advantage Player at the new casino I went to today. I started making money off the information I learned yesterday.

Today was kind of an odd day. It didn't feel good all day long. Had wild swings and very little profit. I met a man at one of my stops who has a lot more knowledge of slot machines than I do. He has sent me some pictures to review and he is going to work with me to learn some new machines. I got to see firsthand today more evidence of how the casino manipulates people and takes advantage of people. I played some double deck Blackjack today with good results.

This is the first episode back since the Thanksgiving break. I hit five casinos and play slot machines at all five. I also play Blackjack at 3 of them. I talk a little about my day today and some things I noticed that Pit Bosses are doing. I also discussed some similarities between me and some people who have been listening to the podcast and emailing me.
