Higher stakes gamblers can get favorable rule changes such as dealer staying on soft 17, early surrender, late surrender, re-splitting Aces, drawing to split Aces, keeping the same dealer, no burn cards on dealer changes, playing multiple hands. There are some deviations that you have to know to further increase your advantage as well, that is why he says that sometimes that you have to go with your gut. That just means that he will split tens sometimes and stand on 12 vs 3. That is what he is talking about. There are books that says to do these things

In order to convince a casino to bend the rules in your favor you need to bring serious cash to the table. At least a 100k will loosen the rules

@austinstout1506 2 жыл бұрын

As in the max amount u can play per hand he has an unlimited if not extremely high max bet allowance which gives him a set amount of hands to hit his unit ...if the casino was dumb enough which there not he could have an unlimited max bet therefore you'd never lose ..ur chances of losing even 5 hands in a row is less than 1% ...so bet a unit like 100k lose go 200 lose go 400k so on and so forth and you'll eventually pocket that 100k then just restart ur strategy ...pry also limits the amount of decks used said he has a lot of ammo so I'm sure he knows every sharp strategy known to blackjack ...the dude is a billionaire and lives and works out of Vegas even grew up in Vegas ..his best fuckin buddies own casinos !! He knows how to never lose

He doesn’t count cards he’s rich asf and uses martingale strategy to win.

@ce-lz5jw 2 жыл бұрын

Actually this strategy is known for being extremely useless and ineffective, i personally don’t think he uses this for three reasons: 1. Casinos already knows this strat and dealers report it immediately. 2. There are max bets, extremely high bets need special authorization. 3. You only win the initial bet and risk too much. Imagine you lose at 5k and double again and again because you are continue losing ang go up to 100 million dollars and then you win, your profit would be 5k. Now imagine your are kicked after you bet 50 million dollars lol. The risk is just stupidly high. He probably counts cards and that is it. It is a really stupid strategy it assumes that casino’s are retarded and don’t have measures to counter this which they clearly have.

I would imagine that he's got specific requirements at the tables that Casino's afford him for who he is. I would say that he gets a certain amount of his losses back (very common with high rollers)....I would also hazard as to say that he plays super high odds. He would, of course, follow basic strategy and most likely count too. I think they know that he counts on a -1,0,+1 format but he doesn't get backed off because of his status.

@alexp3997 Жыл бұрын

While I don’t know for sure wether or not Dana counts cards it’s actually not hard to believe if he doesn’t. He’s probably negotiating rules with casinos that are super favorable to the player such as single deck, 3 to 2 or even 2 to 1. Double after split and double on three or more cards etc, all while playing basic strategy which does lower the house edge quite a bit. Also you have to keep in mind that he’s betting tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars per hand so he only needs to go on a relatively decent streak to win big. So while yes he might count cards, he doesn’t necessarily have to to win big.

When he says he can make his own rules, he has a large enough bank roll and notoriety that they will probably give him any accommodations he wants: one to two decks, hand shuffle, stand on 17, etc. "Play by the book" means he makes decisions based on what is statistically proven to give you the best win probability.

When you're that rich it's not hard to just keep doubling your money until you win. Also learn basic strategy and the statistics. It doesn't work like the movies. They have a 20% better chance of winning usually. If you're not insanely rich it's really hard to make a career out of it. At the beginning of the deck you seriously might lose 8× in a row where counting cards is pointless. Also the person dealing is counting cards too. If it was that easy they'd be playing not working
