The Tactics of a Professional Blackjack Cheat part two
This professional cheat advised blackjack players to sit in casino games where the table is almost full or full because this type of game gives the dealer many other players to concentrate on and not just you. It also prevents opportunities for getting paid after you have bust.
Playing blackjack heads up with a dealer is bad because you have their undivided attention and this is not what you want. So play in full blackjack games with no big action and you will be guaranteed many opportunities where dealers are dealing the game on auto pilot through boredom.
When to Play In These Games
One very crucial and important reason for playing these blackjack games at night is because dealer fatigue leads to a whole host of errors. These errors will be made simply because the game is small and the dealer has mentally switched off and they are tired. Find out when their shifts start so you can ascertain how long they have been working. Also, playing blackjack at night tends to be when the busiest action is.
How Much to Play For
You cannot make these tactics pay by playing too high, the dealers will tighten up and so will the surveillance. You could make £25,000 per year ($45,000) by playing in $5 chips but do not try to earn more than this because you will likely fail. I advise you to play $5 minimum to $20 maximum or whatever currency you are in but bet 5-10-15-20 and no more and do it in $5/£5/Euro5 chips.
Why You Must Deviate Your Bet
So now that we know that you cannot play too big, it is crucial that when you do start to bet that you not only play in the SAME denomination chips ALL the time but to also CONSTANTLY deviate how much you are betting. You need to do this because you are essentially at war with an element of the dealers brain that recognises small inconsistencies in the data that is sent to it from the eye.
Let me explain, because some of these moves involve adding to the bet when you should not be, you obviously do not want the dealer to catch you. If you are using different denomination chips or too high a denomination chips or that you NEVER deviate your bet then any dealer will notice that something is not quite right and be on the lookout for it the next time.
Even if they pay you and do not say anything, you cannot assume that you have got away with it. Constantly deviating the bet and keeping the bet below certain levels is actually subtly manipulating the dealers train of thought, it is almost like a game of chess.
When you are constantly deviating your bet size from $10 to $15 $5 to $10 etc then the dealer will not remember from hand to hand just how much that you had on the box, whether it was one , two or three chips. When the action is small then most of them will not really care and it is your job to FIND the ones who don’t.
