PLAY TO WIN Card counters often give themselves away I received this question from a subscriber: How does a casino know that a blackjack player is card counting? There are several ways that casinos can determine if a player is card counting and a threat to their bottom line. Card counters gain the advantage over the casino when they play blackjack because they make small bets when they don t have the edge and large bets when the edge swings in their favor. Therefore, bet variation is one of the first things that a casino looks at to determine whether the player is card counting. Usually, card counters will bet small after the shuffle (because the count is neutral). That s because there is an equal number of small cards (i.e., 2 through 6s) as there are big cards (i.e., 10 through ace) in the shuffled deck(s). However, as cards are dealt from one round to the next, the ratio of small to big cards in the unplayed deck(s) may change. Card counters keep track of this ratio, and when the remaining unplayed cards contain a disproportionate number of big cards, they will increase their bets. Therefore, if the casino suspects a player is card counting, they will look for this bet variation. Since many players vary their bets for reasons other than card counting (those using a betting progression), the casinos will also check the player s knowledge of the basic playing strategy. Usually, the supervisor in the pit will call surveillance and ask them to watch the decisions the player makes on his hands. If they determine the player knows his basic strategy, they will watch how he plays certain hands based upon the size of his bet. There are other telltale signs that Winning Ways By Dr. Henry Tamburin also give away a card counter. For example, if the player is intensely watching the cards as they come out of the dealing shoe, if he never talks to other players or the dealer, and if he moves his lips as he mentally keeps the count (no kidding, I can t tell you how many novice counters I have seen doing this). Casinos have also gone high tech to determine if a player is counting. The surveillance folks key in each card dealt and the amount bet into special software that can determine whether the player is counting (it will even compute the player s advantage). Some casinos use facial recognition software. They will take a photo of the player s face and compare the image with a database of known card counters and cheaters. I think you get the idea on how casinos can determine whether a player is counting. Nevertheless, this shouldn t deter you from learning card counting. There are many tricks that counters use to play undetected. In fact, there is a new book, The Blackjack Life, written by Nathaniel Tilton that I highly recommend if you want to learn more on this subject. Tilton has written several articles on his camouflage techniques in my Blackjack Insider e-newsletter (www.bjinsider.com). Henry Tamburin is the editor of Blackjack Insider Newsletter (www. bjinsider.com), lead instructor for the Golden Touch Blackjack Course (www. goldentouchblackjack.com) and host of www.smartgaming.com.

Pressing a button does not make the slot hot From Mark: I just heard this one: If in Las Vegas, play the slots at 11 at night because they have to meet a minimum payout each day. If this is true then all slot players should wait until that time so they can win a lot of money. So is it true? Frank Responds: Tell the person who told you this piece of information that there is a bridge that connects Brooklyn to Manhattan that is for sale cheap. But it must be bought between the hours of 2 and 3 a.m. In point of fact, slot machines are programmed for long-term paybacks and any single day or night or hour or minute is irrelevant for the machines. My brother-in-law once told me that there was a secret button on the back of all slot machines that if pressed would make the machine pay out all the money in it. I ve checked hundreds of slot machines and I have not yet found that button. Some people believe that machines are programmed to get cold if they have been hot or to get hot if they ve been cold. Some people believe that if the machine is under an air conditioning vent it will stay cold or get hot because it is cold. From Paulie: I have to tell you this, Frank. I get very annoyed at blackjack players who tell other players what to do. Even if another player is playing stupidly it is the player s money and he can play it as he wants. I wonder what makes these experts think they can jump in and tell people what to do when these players have not asked for advice. I think most blackjack players think there is some magical organization principle involved in how the cards are distributed in the shoe and if someone plays poorly that organization becomes bad for the players. I am amazed at how many players believe this. You d think that blackjack players would read some book to educate themselves on what actually happens when a deck or decks are shuffled. What is your estimate as to how many players actually study the games and know the odds and percentages? I am guessing very few based on what I have seen in the casinos. Frank Responds: Ignore the people who can t seem to ignore the people. You ll never convince them they are wrong. Play the game and enjoy yourself. If they give you advice nod sagely and play your hand however you want. The experts are everywhere in the casino, usually giving very bad advice. I am thinking that of the 54 million Americans who go to the casinos regularly, maybe about 10 percent have read any books or done any research. I think for some players it is just fun to throw caution to the wind and play without really understanding what they are getting into.

By Paul Wade HOROSCOPE You ll have enough cash to indulge yourself, Leo Editor s Note: Horoscopes are meant for entertainment purposes only and are for the time period August 20 - September 2, 2015. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) The good news keeps on coming. The planets in your sign are changing and you ll notice the way life seems more settled and predictable, while your economic position continues to consolidate. You may not accrue substantial cash reserves, but you ll have enough to indulge yourself on a few occasions. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) You are known for your natural reticence. This period suggests taking a risk and glossing over the finer details. Clearly, for somebody who is so painstaking, who has a strong work ethic and postpones gratification in the shorter term, this is uncomfortable. It may be scary, but the cosmos comes to acknowledge that you could also use a little assistance. Libra (Sep. 23-Oct. 22) Take solace, as your money worries are due to abate. On Sept. 18, Saturn enters Sagittarius and the worst of the economic issues you have been battling lately will take a turn for the better. Remind yourself that without investment there can be no growth. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) This period creates a complicated yet irresistible trend that will take you from a professional focus and the drive for outward success towards a more philosophical, easy-going and amenable approach. You appreciate there are alternatives to the big house and prestige automobile. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Who is to say what is wrong, or in turn correct? On the one hand there is a big part of you that wishes to dispense with convention. Part of you wants to maintain a broader appeal and to cultivate a populist approach. Verbalizing your desires helps put them into context. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) The limiting say that others have exerted over your everyday choices is diminishing. Affirm what you believe in, rather than selling out to those with more selfish intentions. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) There is a subtle change in the nature of your closest associations as financial issues and your property affairs assume a greater prominence. You will find that by working together, you ll be able to accrue more than you could have done separately. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 19) Work is important as a means to an end. Outside of employment there are commitments you must attend to, while within the usual confines of the everyday world, there are wages to be earned. Balance business and brushing up on softer skills. Aries (March 20-April 19) This period suggests that for you, the next twelve months are about attending to detail, in contrast to the broad brush strokes of the recent past. Creativity remains a major motif, but good health and increased efficiency are more prominent concerns. Taurus (April 20-May 20) Relationships have been a theme for some while. A phase of questioning all of your closest connections ends and you see a rebirth of optimism in those that have survived, along with fresh liaisons. Gemini (May 21-June 20) Your concerns seem more weighted towards others and their wants and needs, rather than your own personal fulfilment and happiness. But that is set to alter now while you emphasise intangible concepts like your emotions instead. This new focus finds an outlet in your domestic circumstances. Cancer (June 21-July 22) A backdrop of outstanding good fortune remains and your financial outlook this period continues to be the envy of the majority who feel less privileged. While the impetus is positive and firmly in your favor, the elements of expansion and exceptional good fortune gradually fade, to be replaced by a sense of certainty and comfort rather than of opportunity. Planning and strategy have a bigger part to play. Paul Wade, a UK-based astrologer, is published in seven languages.
