Exactly, anyone who wins a few thousand under normal rules get read a trespass card and escorted out for being an Advantage Player, this dude is sucking someone off or this is a publicity stunt. Any real skilled gambler wouldn't ever admit that they're an advantage player because they'd be banned all over town.

People go to casinos for the same reason they go on blind dates - hoping to hit the jackpot.But mostly, you just wind up broke or alone in a bar.

I've lived in Reno for a long time. Fortunately, I never got into gambling. I have literally watched careers and marriages destroyed when people move here from out of state and didn't realize they have a gambling problem.

I used to be a limousine driver at a hotel /casino. I can tell you with 100% certainty that the really huge players (which are the only clientele I had) almost always lost. Sure they would occasionally have a night where they beat the casino but they would usually end up losing it back the next night or before they went home. Most of these people donated $10M+ by the end of the year to the casino so my picking them up on their comped ride on the casino's private jet really didn't do them any good.

It is a smashing one of a kind guide for discovering how to making money with a proven roulette system without the headache. Ive heard some great things about it and my mate got amazing results with it.

OK. In a nutshell: Find a Casino that is struggling. Negotiate your way into improving the odds - literally get them to change the rules to your favor and get monetary discounts. Intimidate & confuse the dealer into breaking the silly rules you got them to agree to. Bet Big. Before all that, be a math /card-counting genius, but let them think you are a so-so player. Its just THAT easy. The only real secret here is negotiating terms and sandbagging. There, I saved you 46 minutes and change.

The last time I went to Vegas, my parents were still living and wanted my wife and I to join them. The town was packed with people. My wife and I aren't big gamblers, so we'd spend the days strolling down the strip and checking out the architecture. Understandably, people kept bumping into us. But for three days, not one of those people said. "Excuse me." I don't know if that town brings out the rudeness in people or just attracts rude people, but I never want to go back. I used to love Vegas in the 50s and 60s, when the mob ran it. It was small, slow-paced, and everyone treated you like a king. If you were going to a dinner show that evening, you'd visit the Maitre d' that day, slip him $10, and you'd get a great table close to the performers. Now you buy a ticket in a booth and you're just another chump. Vegas is full of money, but devoid of class.

I used to deal blackjack and in most cases VIP's if they argue a misdealt hand they would win the hand or at the very least have their hand pushed back. Regular Joe's usually get the short end of the stick. As Don mentioned a dealer dealing to a guy like this is a high pressure situation. Mistakes will happen and a fold signal can be misinterpreted as a hit. If he could negotiate splitting of AA and also re-splitting etc this is a big edge for the player. Add in 50k free money to start and discounts if you lose. Free food and drinks and Hotel rooms etc of course he is gonna have the edge in the long run if you put the variance factor into play. I bet he was a bad tipper because large tips would lower his edge.

I work at a casino, we often get asked if we get 'card counters' at our tables. Yes, but it doesn't give them the advantage they think - if you play perfectly, the house still has a slight edge. Don Johnson negotiated special 'high roller' conditions that ordinary punters would never have got, and cleverly took advantage of them to win big. People have this expectation that counting cards is a rare ability that guarantees you huge wins and Kate Bosworth as your girlfriend. All I can really suggest is that you only play roulette on single 0 tables, and blackjack paying 3 to 2 odds.

He gained his advantage by negotiating the 20% rebate for losses over $500,000. Also they gave him $50,000 in free chips every day he played. But where he really got them was every time the dealer made an error, he would get a free bet. 3 or 4 mistakes a day can make a big difference in the long run.

I understand Johnson's negotiation for better terms but there's still part of this story that confuses me. He answers one question by saying that he didn't have 4 million to lose. That may have been the case when he first started but no one mentioned how much he initially did have to lose. That seems important to me because it defines the risk he was willing to take. Even with an edge, a bad run could have wiped him out if part of his model was making big bets. No offense, in the least to Johnson, but my sense is that his great story is one of both great luck and an edge. If he didn't have 4 million to lose, was he willing to leave fully wiped out? There's nothing about this that I don't believe; I just feel like, unless I'm really missing something, there are some gaps/un-saids in Johnson's story. Maybe I just missed something.

It's a fair comment James. Here's what I think. He wouldn't have had $4 million to lose because he would have been backed or he would have had the credit available for $4 million. In his mind while responding, he may have felt that his first 20% of bet equity had the implied discount and based on his opinion of his game vs the house's opinion, he wouldn't need to tax credit $3.2 million of credit / cash.

Oh no that's not how the math works out I mean your bankroll is like an investment, so as any investment it is not guaranteed and you should be prepared to lose it. But for once if you're doing everything right, you should never lose it all And some people manage to get investors to make your bankroll bigger, thus bigger long term profit and not your own money to lose in the worst case It's like a longterm thing so, you'll have major wins and losses, but as long as you play absolutely perfect and do the maths correctly on everything, you should always turn a steady profit longterm. It's all about calculating how much you bet, etc Pure maths on everything, else it wouldn't work at all. This documentary seems a little lot like bs to me though for other reasons, haven't fully watched it yet though.

It’s simple he was playing with house money after a nice little run. I know a guy that took $950k off an Indian casino in a week, and used 2k in free play to start his run. Turned 2k into 45k the first day then on day 2 he started betting 3-5k a hand, and he was playing 1-3 hands depending on the cards. You win 7-8 hands in a row betting 10-15k it’s not hard to hit a run, or lose it all 😆

i think he wouldnt tell the whole truth. why give up any essential secrets? it may be something staggeringly simple that works the best.

It will be great to go back to the business at hand.

An All Blacks jersey on? He certainly knows quality. Oh yeah! You da man!

Playing perfect blackjack isn't complicated in the least. Pretty much anyone can do it. You aren't going to win over the long haul ONLY by playing perfectly. I don't buy for a moment that Johnson has won as much as he claims, and I'm quite certain he has suffered enormous losses that he doesn't share with anyone.

You're also not going to lose very much over the long haul unless you keep upping your bets

the "big whale" could easily be a stooge of the casinos, made to look like he's winning big there to entice more people to go. In truth he could be just winning for show and sending chips back to the casino.

It all goes back to the basics: exploit vulnerabilities and negotiation to improve the odds !

This is a promotion by the Casino industry. Card counting hasn’t work for many years. The casinos will only give you half of a deck to count, or half of the 6 deck shoe ? There are no professional blackjack players today. So they run these promos to make folks believe it is still possible. The casinos will not allow card counting. The Casino profits 16 to 18% on each $1.00 bet on blackjack. Small casinos outside of Vegas May profit up to 20%. But If Trish Regan is involved I’m all in !👍🏼

Its a continuously shuffling shoe... Which randomly inserts the cards that were just dealt back into the shoe, as soon as the dealer inserts the dealt cards back into the machine, which happens every few hands. Also eliminates the need for shuffling, so cards are dealt non stop. But not all black jack dealers or casinos use a continuously shuffling machine. I think more than half of all BJ tables are still the regular 6 card shoes with automatic shuffling machine,.. Which are the ones the dealer puts all of the finished 6 card deck into a shuffling machine and a freshly shuffled 6 card deck is waiting for you. So also eliminates shuffling time. Last time I went, I was sitting at a table where the dealer was actually shuffling the 6 card deck with her hands... old school style, both of which are still susceptible to card counting. Also I noticed a lot of single deck and double deck bj as well....which is actually not very susceptible to card counting.

Lets see how Resorts World does. The Asian connection makes sense too. Maybe can funnel a lot of business from Asia to the strip. Multi-use City Center worked out. Maybe this will too. Would like to see Stardust brand on another project though.

He should do a movie!

I like at 46:00: dealer's gonna make two or three mistakes a night and you can profit by it. Right. At those levels, they only have one dealer - and nobody else watching.

I've won more often than losing. One time, I walked into The Venetian and bought $5 chips worth $120 and placed more than half on number 9 in RR. They all thought I was nuts however the next spin proved everyone wrong. It takes mastery/study, a little bit of inclination/affinity with numbers then element of luck

I never lost money in a casino before. I've only been about 10 - 15 times and never took more than $200 but I never lost money... I think out of the ten times I went I'm only up around between $50 and $150... but I never lost ;D I think you have to be REALLY bad at gambling to go to a casino with $500 and lose 100% of it. My mother LOVES the slots which is the biggest sucker game in a casino and she doesn't even lose 100% when she goes.

Playing any other game in a casino more than a few times is just asking to lose. Theyre all long term losers its a sucker bet. You either get lucky right away or quit. Continuing to play is guaranteeing you to lose

when I went out there I didn't have much money so I watched people. What a place to do some people watching.

The casinos don't sit back and let you take that kind of money. They will refuse to let you play light years before taking $10 million.

Exactly, anyone who wins a few thousand under normal rules get read a trespass card and escorted out for being an Advantage Player, this dude is sucking someone off or this is a publicity stunt. Any real skilled gambler wouldn't ever admit that they're an advantage player because they'd be banned all over town.
