Just don't cheat and you won't have to worry about guys taking you in the back and sawing off of your hands.

What’s the name of the shuffle they do at 3:43? Is it a legit shuffle that you can do without cheating?

See if someone made a movie about playing the house, like James Bond or Oceans 11 or something but with none of the action (and realistic hands) – and sort of explained a bit about what was going on – that could make decent money, I'm just thinking of the amount of people that would want to play or try to cheat, and what the casinos would make with an influx of players – probably wouldn't be groundbreaking and it's a bit of an unethical advertising/marketing strategy but it's a cool thought

Yea if you have 6 decks the difference is you aren't at an advantage until the count is plus 7 where if you are playing with 1 deck you are at an advantage when it's plus 2. As the 6 deck shoe becomes less and less you account for that usually dividing the discard tray into 3 beginning middle end advantage at Plus 7 plus 4 plus 1 roughly the higher the plus count the more of an advantage.

Great content. I’ve learnt a lot already. As for card counting my feeble brain cannot handle keeping track of what +1, 0, -1. Takes the joy out of playing for the sake of it.😂

I’ve never played cards in my life and I totally don’t understand how it works. My brain is just not wired that way. But it’s just fun to watch you because you’re so skillful..it’s kinda like a magic show. I can tell you sat in jail for card cheating. Really enjoy your channel.

I think I know how to prevent cheating scandals, like the recent NBA one. For NLH and PLO games, ALL of the cards should have easily peelable opaque tape on the front. The Backs would have Nine unique RSA encoded numbers…which tell the user, privy to that code, the identity of their cards.
The Down cards would be dealt in a sleeve, with only the user's "window" visible. The Board cards, in contrast, would have the backing peeled off by the Casino Dealer.
Phones, or other encryption devices, would be allowed, so that each individual player could quickly decrypt their card values.
Even if someone saw another players encryption number, it wouldn't help, because a New, Unique Deck, with different Prime Numbers, would be dealt each time.

Well, this video and the one a few months ago that Sal was on certainly seems relevant if you’re an NBA fan

So basically just dont let people hold their hands together and make sure the cards are really truly shuffled. Problem solved

I am a casino cheating expert. I am a magician specializing in sleight of hand and manipulation which is how I got a job working in casino surveillance. I've worked at 4 different casinos in 3 different states including major casinos on the Las Vegas strip.
Everything this guy said is accurate and legitimate.
