      Being backed off isn’t always an indicator you’re a skillful AP, it can simply be triggered by indicators that you’re attempting to count cards. If you notice in a few of the videos he’s even backed off while down. (Not that he’s bad) My point is, your count could be way off, but your betting pattern could get you backed off)

The orginial idea of the comment was to give an idea to steven to try out once to see how the staff would react, especially with some really demanding/confindent casino staf it would be interested when they are shown the facts/their own player terms. As far as actual legal consequences and sueing the casino, you are right it might not have real consequences, but in the more extreme cases where rights are actually violated (not getting cashed out, fake police, entrapment etc) you could definetly make a real case out of it definetly with video from steven, the question is more, would you actually want to go to court, have a ton of work and stress for minor consequences in perspective of the amount of effort put in. The part about chrasing a party is a bit wierd imo, AP's are not breaking any laws or doing anything illegal, casino's just get very hostile because they are salty about losing money to AP's.

We do not remove card counters from our properties just because they are card counters. Security has nothing to do with gaming. If you work security and surveillance or table games calls you for a card counter then you're in a company causing these problems. Removing people from games because they're stealing, violent, threatening, or mistreating employees.. yes. Security will get involved. That's a security issue. Again, card counters should *NOT* be removed off premises. There is no reason to do so. Downtown is notorious for having overzealous security where situations are escalated (by security) even in situations where it's not their place to do so.

    Do casinos count their own cards? I mean, it would make a lot of sense if they could correlate a positive count with players increased bets as "proof" of advantage play. Can't imagine it would be too hard either, one camera, some image recognition software and a little Python code.

    At smaller casinos it’s easier to be noticed with your play. With your action, they tend to watch diligently. At the larger casinos, we just have to input your name in a database and see all your info and your associates. If you’re playing as a refusal, then we see if you’re moving with the count. Pretty simple and basic, plus we have separate people whose only job is to count cards. Takes a small load off of surveillance. Sure AP do slip through the cracks, but pretty simple to weed them out.
    Also, our back offs are simple and rarely need security. Since it’s Vegas, all they have to do is ask for ID and once you refuse, they will cash you out and have you leave. No hostility since it’s almost every other day people are being backed off.

    Honestly crazy that they are even allowed to tell you to 'backoff' the game. If they're allowed to do that, they should also be required to tell you to back off if you've lost too much. That'll never happen. Also you should've shared the names of the casinos

      They are required to ask you if you want to stop after a certain amount lost, and are supposed to back you off if you are too drunk.

      As the person above replied, I’ll +1 that. I’ve been to a couple of casinos where I have seen them notice someone losing A LOT of money at once and they’ll normally ask them if they want to stop playing or give them some comps to get them away from the table, ultimately they’re a business and they want to make money so they won’t force you to stop spending but they do sometimes care. I’ve also seen them stop drunk people from playing, they’ll literally call security and escort them to cash out their chips and if they’re staying at a Casino/Hotel will escort to their room. As far as card counting or winning too much, all casinos will back you off eventually so naming the casino is pointless when all of them do it.

    All Casino's in B.C Canada now require you to present ID at the door to enter. I don't think its viable for every Casino to do this but that will definitely hinder the ability to enter again after already being backed of especially if you get flagged for being around.

    The state legislatures write laws and statutes that casinos ignore regularly. These casinos “take a shot” and it comes with no penalty.
    There needs to be a punishment for this bad behavior on the part of casinos. It needs to be substantial.

    Hey Steven, have you ever thought about going to play other casino games that are completely luck based when you can feel some heat from the casino? I have a theory that they might not think you're a card counter if they see you playing more than just black jack and instead of assuming you count cards they might just think you're "Getting Lucky" at the table. You talked about meeting another old man card counter who was playing the slots, and I have an idea that maybe he was doing that too. Just cause if you're only at the Black Jack table it might be a dead sign that's all you plan on playing. Might help to start with some roulette or slots, sacrifice $50, then go on and play and see if it takes longer for a back-off to happen

      The more time you spend not playing black jack the less money you make per hour.
      He needs to maximise game time amongst other things. So it is more efficient to just look which Casinos are in a certain are and plan a trip to play at each casion for as long as possible until moving to the next casino.
      The time you spend playing at a different game, in the hopes to maybe play a bit more blackjack at the casino, can be spent driving already to the next location.

      It's a great question. The two other replies hit the nail on the head. Playing other games is expensive. And a lot of the time it's a case of surveillance not even noticing you until you start doing counting behaviour. So the other game probably won't affect their perception as they won't be paying attention until you're playing BJ

    I’ve managed to snag close to $900k in 3 months and never got backed off once . I can talk to people, look away from the table and still count.

    Don't give your ID to cops either - they have no authority to see it unless they suspect you of a crime. They do NOT need your ID in order to issue a trespass warning.
    However, they may still arrest you anyway because there is basically no accountability for them to make illegal arrests that later get dropped.

    Stephen Bridges has an insane level of confidence to be able to refuse to show ID wherever he goes.
    Anyone who does what Steven does better be prepared to have the people skills to stand up for themselves, the tax skills needs to report their income to the IRS in case a judge questions your background, and a solid plan of action to file lawsuits against dirty casinos.
    I don't think I'd be calm and effective enough to deal with more extreme confrontations without saying/doing something criminal.
    If you are willing to sacrifice possible longevity to get less extreme reactions, go the players card route, cash out all your chips immediately, and do not sneak into casinos that you have previously been 86d from.
    Some casino companies like Caesars and Indian Casinos automatically exclude you from all sister properties and deactivate your players card, so take it seriously when that happens and don't jump to another Caesars property after your first ban notice.
    Other casino companies like PNG and Hard Rock, you can still hop around from sister property to sister property without them playing dirty, although a red note might appear on your account but you'll still be able to play normally.
