That scout has to keep running counts in their head without showing the fact they're doing math in their heads on their face. And during all that the scout has to give the signals without surveillance detecting the fact they're giving signals. They have to resist the urge to turn to look at their teammates to check if they even saw the signal. The scout has the most face time with casino staff. Definitely not an easy role.

@MajinTV True, but for the purposes of showcasing counting cards it is necessary. If anything it shows people that go to a casino why showing the burn card, especially on double deck (a table using just two decks), is shut down immediately. I should say at least in the casinos I've worked at that's the rule. And unless they plan on playing blackjack again in studio, why invest in a shoe? They do have a discard tray though, which did surprise me to see so perhaps they had access and just decided against it

49:46 Stephen looks like he knew exactly what was going to happen and that's why he told Sully to put the card face down. His smile is like the one you make when you're watching, with someone else, a movie that you've already seen, the exciting part is coming and you want to see their reaction xD

It's important to note why Steven is banned from every casino in the UK - he's good at calculating the odds in a game that's all about the odds. Or in other words, the casinos only let you play if you're bad at playing. Fools and their money are soon parted.

I’m actually so excited for this new series, it sounds like so much fun!

Honestly, props for steven to just play along with the jokes and atmosphere

The last time I was this early Sully had not discovered his penchant for horses

I saw Steven on one of Mike Boyd's videos. He is becoming the card counting equivalent of that lie detector guy who's been on basically every youtube channel.

if i were going to play cards with steven bridges, i would be more concerned about the magician part than the counting cards part

mind-bogglingly incredible to see steven here considering i started binging his Beating the Odds series a week ago

Steven seemed really cool and this was super funny, love it!

That first round when Holly got a 21, only for Stephen to bust and Sully to double his cash reserves had me kneeled over laughing. EDIT: Every round in this is a god damn highlight, I can't mention every part. It went off the rails so fast!

24:25 hitting a soft 17 is dodgy. Love that Stephen doesn’t correct it, even though he’d never play at a real table where that’s the rule, because it absolutely ruins Sully

Please bring Steven back to do this again, was one of my favourite episodes of NRB

steven is an absolute gem, I'm very happy to see him on nrb!!

As a fan of Steven before knowing about NRB, gotta say this is an incredible collab

Steven's villainous "Nooooooooooo!" at the end 🤣

I hope we get a poker episode with Ken, so we can get unbridled Ken-chaos

Absolutely incredible ride, and I learned a bunch about blackjack and card counting by watching! Loving how good Steven was at explaining what he was doing when asked.

you'd think they'd just stop having a solved game on the casinos rather than trying to kick people out

i love how his strategy early on is “he can’t keep getting away with it.”

This is just the meme of the 4 guys excitedly jumping around and the one guy looking defeated, and I am HERE FOR IT X"D

What a great sport Steven was. Such a good fit with the whole vibe

Sully betting high on every hand is exactly how I play poker and it works out well for a long time until it really doesn't

The push birth related joke was right there, and Adam went for natural

Love that Holly mentioned Harvest moon DS. That was also one of my introductions to blackjack when I was a kid. That game also included the abillity to get a game over by killing the town mayor with your dog at the start of the game. You could also get a game over by attempting to kill the entire town by poisoning a communal soup with a lvl 100 mushroom. And in one of the versions of the game you could court a witch who would only accept to marry you if you litter the town, kill 50 of your own animals and poison the town soup for atleast 5 years. farming games tend to be like that

I NEED this to be a regular series going forward. This is amazing content, and also really cool to learn about the game.

This series slaps, and having Steven to open it is a genius move. Fantastic stuff

This was an absolute joy to watch, and I can't believe how invested I got

The blackjack guy fit in really nicely and had a good energy, I enjoyed this a whole lot. Well done all

I've seen this guy before! Hope content creation is treating him well because I can't imagine being a renown card counter is good for the card counting business

Steven was a great guest! Would not mind seeing him on the show again sometime

I hope Steven appreciated playing blackjack in such a relaxed and fun atmosphere, after those hundreds of hours of stress he experienced in casinos.☺

I'm sad NRB vs didn't catch on because this was a joyous ride

I appreciate that Steven mentioned it was harder to count cards while chatting in a casual environment compared to a casino. Perhaps it's a good training exercise!

I love that sully had enough money to win the game two hands in and could have played it safe from there and easily won, but he chose to have fun and be silly.

Steven was amazing, would definitely love to see him again in future videos. Great chemistry and quite entertaining.

I've never been so invested in a video before. I am literally pausing when I can pay full attention to this. What a great, funny, crazy, informative episode. Great job!!! ❤🎉🎉

14:22 "we just found him at a bust stop" - is what i thought you said. I was about to applaud the amazing pun.

I tried to look up the basics of card counting, just to see if I could keep up. I couldn't. Even though the card dealing was slow, I wasn't speaking, I had a shorter delay between games, and I could go back and double check I was still almost always off by 1. I can't imagine doing it in an actual casino when cards are flying by and there's noise everywhere, AND you're trying to not look suspicious.

This is an amazing video. The pacing, the humour, the perfect drama inducing scenarios that kept playing out. Felt like a movie. You guys are a good group, awesome chemistry. Favourite video on this channel probably

Steven bridges is the GOAT, what an amazing cross over! ... love u stevey!

I knew I loved this channel before, and now it's even better! This was a lot of fun to watch and I'm very excited to watch more of this! 😍 Thank you NRB and Steven!

Loved this! Would definitely like to see more of this format, and Steven was super fun and engaging.

I said, out loud, on the final hand "NO STEVEN, STAY" at midnight. I forgot he couldn't hear me.

Fantastic. I am 100% in with this new series. Can't wait for the next one!

Adam commenting on how difficult counting is and we're not even discussing true count, only running count. True count is when the casino has multiple decks and you have to divide the running count by the decks left to get your true count

This is a brilliant unexpected surprise! Loved it and loved this series idea a lot!

This episode was so much fun!! I honestly hope there will be more episodes to this series!
