I was asked to leave Fitzgeralds once when playing blackjack,they were nice about it,even gave me a deck of cards.

If you know how to play and know how to bet,it looks like your counting cards.

Wasn't even betting $20,000 a hand;)

how is counting cards cheating

If you play Hearts, you darn well better count cards

[nickcarraway]

Other than the fact that casinos don’t like it, how is counting cards cheating?

Were you changing your bets? That’s the usual sign of a card counter. Just following basic strategy to the letter generally won’t get you tossed.

And why not :)?

Stomping his foot was a dead giveaway...

Not letting the house win is cheating.

I was acquainted with Ionescu Tulcea while working at NU. A highly regarded mathmetician, he had written several books on gaming, not just balck jack. He was banned by every casino in Vegas, but due in part to his high reputation (he was a heck of nice guy too) he often was comped a Vegas hotel room and meals but told to stay clear of the gaming rooms. He thought it quite funny. He is a brilliant mathematician. He also loved tennis.

I don’t know what “counting cards” means. It seems like something you would need to do if you played cards.

From The movie “Night Shift”:

Bill Blazejowski: so I’m sitting there in the casino in Atlantic City in my wash-n-dries and they barred me! So I threw my complimentary watered down drink in fat face! Think I’ll go to Vegas next week...

[faithhopecharity]

Lose and you’re welcome. Win and they throw you out. Any questions?

[Chode]

i thought they had five decks in a shoe, the boy only has ten fingers...

That bonehead must have been counting on his fingers.

[all the best]

Counting cards = paying attention and playing intelligently.
The fact that casinos want none of that should serve as a warning.

Isn’t this the same clown that said that he has never met a Republican that he likes, or was that Matt Damon, its hard to figure out which leftist prick is which

[FrdmLvr]

I spent a couple of hours at the MGM casino in Macau a few months ago.I didn't play (I don't gamble) but it was interesting to watch.At least 95% of the people at the high stakes tables were Asian...and it seems that 99% of them smoked (arrgh!).I later found out that Asians,Chinese at least,are known to be big gamblers.Apart from an occasional mega millions ticket I don't gamble...having done fairly well in simple math at school.
