Rigged Game - Advantage Play, Blackjack, Card Counting, Slots, and Poker podcast

I was ready for a big day but things did not go as planned. Decided to add a mailbag section to the episode.

My Tuesday episode. Plans for Vegas and a cruise.

Just another Monday, but good things coming.

Last day. Big play!

Now it is getting interesting. You look under 60, I need your ID.

Day 2 of our trip. Going place to place to place looking for EV. Long tough day setting the foundation for the next few day. Picking up my friend from the airport

Today was definitely a long day. Left home after 4:00 a.m. and went to the airport. Flew to one city that had a layover and continued on to my final destination. Once there I picked up a rental car and had over 12 stops at casinos in the area before going back to the airport to pick up my friend.

The day before. I snuck out?

An opportunity came up that I can't refuse. I am taking most of this week to take advantage of it.

A little Saturday and Sunday episode. Sunday I ended up driving 4 hours with my wife to a location to meet someone to pay them for a gamble that failed. Afterwards we visited two casinos before heading home.

Going to an out of the way casino for points.

The pain is not going away. Another long drive. Another day of trying to get on the blackjack table. Playing slots and trying to find advantages wherever I can.

Wednesday trip. Finally got a couple sessions of blackjack in. Also played slots. Had to take a break in the middle of the day for some family business before going to one final casino.

My Tuesday battle episode.

Monday episode. Good stuff brewing.

Last day of the trip. Rock hunting. Going home.

What next? Leaving the area to go further.

The second day of my trip was actually tougher than my first day. I think I had more fun driving than I did playing these casinos today. There was a bright spot in my day which was seeing a family member and having dinner with him.

Long journey today. Hitting many casinos along the way. Going to church.

The day before the big trip.

My Monday episode. Meetings at work, and returning my car to the dealership.

It was another one of those days. Some crazy stuff happening at home before I leave for my overnight. Finally get everything taken care of and head to my first casino. Crazy car stuff. Slots and then attempted blackjack. Slots that attempted blackjack. You know the drill.

First, I had to stop by the office to check in. Then I picked up one of the kids from home and drop them off at school. Finally I had to stop by a place to pick some things up that my wife ordered. After that I was finally able to get down to making money. Blackjack and slots today.

Starting off bad and getting worse. The story of bad slots, bad poker, and a bad attitude.

Today was a long day. Left home early and had a 4-Hour journey to my first casino. I hung around there most of the day spending about 9 hours on and off in and out of the casino. Was able to get a few sessions of blackjack in although they weren't as long as I would have liked. Also played slots.

Tuesday, work, taxes, brokerage house, slots and more.

Do I ever get a peaceful day? Today I am trying to file my taxes as well as my children's taxes. I'm also trying to open up two brokerage accounts for the deadline. Plus go to work and gamble as always.

Trying desperately to find a blackjack game to play. A long night of looking good for plays.

Boy oh boy! Trying to find a game.

It was definitely an unusual day. This was my Thursday episode and I expected to play tons of blackjack today. Instead the most unusual things seemed to happen. Still ended up a good day though.

A nice long wednesday. I finally got a chance to play Blackjack. Seems like it's been forever.

Start it off as a regular Tuesday. I went to work, then played a little. Went back to work and then back to the casino again. However this time I was called away to help a kid see their dying dog.

The Monday after Easter, and I am back at work and back at the casinos. Car is ready!

Here we go again! Another back off. After a difficult day as well. I played blackjack, Pot Limit Omaha, and slots today.

What a crazy day. Differences in temperature from home to the area I was playing exceeded 40°. Working hard to find games to play and opportunity in the casino.

Here we go again. Back on the road. Back playing Blackjack and facing the same issues.

It's actually tough to be back home again. It's great to see the family, but the money making potential is so limited now. I go back to work today, and try to make a little money at the casinos. I'm planning my next trip as well.

Wynn, Venetian, Palazzo, Caesars, Airport and online.

Palazzo, Wynn, Encore. Sam's Town, Boulder Station, Caesars, Rampart, Gold Coast. Red Rock, M Resort, Green Valley Ranch.

The day of pain and suffering. Winning a little, then losing a little. Having suspicion cast on me. One disappointing session after another.

Another frustrating day. Working hard to try to make money and after working the whole day, having one of my last sessions wipe everything out and more.

This is day two of my Las Vegas trip. Unfortunately this trip has not been going as planned. I take some time to walk from the Wynn Casino all the way down to Stratosphere. I hit the casinos along the way. With some unusual circumstances. Later I play blackjack with an unknown card counter. I don't even think he knew that I was doing the same thing. I finish out my day at the Orleans where I had the most fun.

Today started off in a sent enough. I saw a friend of mine again for the second time in a week after not seeing him for 20 years. The flight to Vegas was on eventful. But right away fireworks started as soon as I got here. Had issues with Hertz Rent a Car. Then went to a bunch of smaller casinos where I got my butt kicked frustration kicked in. I had to come back from Deep holes multiple times. I left multiple casinos with deficits.

Las Vegas incoming. New countertops.

Monday episode. Two sessions at the casino and some online play as well.

Somehow I miscalculated the amount of time I had today. I was actually going to try for a 1,000 MI journey round trip. What was I thinking? At my third stop, I was playing my first slot machine when a very shy looking and very scared looking lady walked up to me and told me that the casino made a business decision to exclude me. She had a paper with my name already written on it. That changed everything. I was going to hit a few more of their casinos and had to cancel that. Right around that time I realized that I had miscalculated the time and wouldn't have had the ability to go to all the casinos I wanted to visit today anyway.

Friday episode. Trying over and over to find a decent game. Ended up playing for a short time. Also please lots and some online time. Afterwards I spent some time with my kid.

Actually was a decent day. Although at first it seemed like I was going to be somewhat delayed. I was asked to take care of someone else's work first thing in the morning because that person was on vacation. I swung by the office and handled some of that work, before heading out to my first Casino. After my first Casino I played some poker, then went back to that casino before wrapping it up and going home. I did play some online and made some money there as well.

Blackjack, slots, and poker. Wild Wednesday. Taking a dive before taking flight.

As if being Tuesday wasn't bad enough, the local casino that I visit is putting in new slots, all bad. They are taking out good machines and putting in bad ones. This episode teaches you how not to win.
