He is one of the kindest, most humane animal advocates I know. If you love animals, fight for those who can't fight for themselves, be it four-legged or two-legged, it sure says alot about someone. Tommy is one very kind and compassionate person, and I am proud to have met him once.
Finally got a +7 true count on 2 deck lucky ladies a week ago. $100 bet. Was dealt two 7s against a 5. Split for another 7. Split again. 17, 13, 15.... dealer shows a 5-3, draws an 8 and then a 5 for a 21.. SAVAGE!
That sucks. But you gotta play for the long-haul. If you're not going to be able to play at least 100 hours of Lucky Ladies tables, I'd probably just skip the side bet because of the variance.
Same thing for me on a two deck game last night. Only tens, 9s, Aces and a couple small cards left. Final hand - I played three hands heavy - got 19, 19, 15 (couldn't hit as I knew I would bust) - guy next to me Blackjack, lady next to him Blackjack - Dealer 20. Me Down in Flames on 3 Hands. Needless to say I got up and had a beer at the bar - At least the two other players acknowledged me playing 3 hands gave them blackjacks. lol - smh
@ Eli: It's the same with poker, which I've had a lot of experience playing. Poker has better odds, too, because other players are not solid like a casino dealer, they take foolish chances and you can find cash cows at almost every table. That all said, with any game of cards, you have to: 1) Start with a large, deep bankroll 2) Never deter from a solid, proven game plan (do your serious drinking or whatever AFTER playing) 3) Put the hours in at the tables (and the odds will eventually roll back if you stay solid) 4) Have nerves of steel when you go through a losing streak of bad breaks and don't take them personally 5) Number # 4 happens to everyone so be sure to ALWAYS do the first 3 Luck is always there, both good and bad, but NEVER let them alter your solid play and commitment Being a really good, money making player is a bit tedious once you take out the "thrill" of spontaneous play but it's the only way to consistently make money.
I challenge Tommy Hyland as being the best card counter of all time. Steve Kammeyer challenged the casinos like no other in history. Read the book 'Heat in the Vegas Night'.
Tommy, thanks for getting back to me. You are right, hopefully we can all continues to supplement our incomes. Unfortunately I cannot play the game the same as I used too. I have seen over one hundred thousand dealers hole card with a mirror and I was barred from Nevada for fifteen years because of it. Again, the book "Heat in the Vegas Night"
@@gstacks510 Chris, Very carefully! I was trained with very specific mannerisms to place the mirror on the blackjack table, right in front of the dealer's and pit bosses. It took nine months of training. It has to be shown, not told to get the gist of it. If you want to read a bad ass true story about a group of guys that challenged the mob casinos and corporate America, take a look on amazon books and read the first chapter of "Heat in the Vegas Night."
Thanks Michael! We actually have lots of podcast interviews with people who have come through our training. You can check some of them out here: www.blackjackapprenticeship.com/?s=podcast

When faced with a backoff/89: 1. Don't say anything to anyone. 2. Don't let them take you to a backroom or everywhere out of public view - resist forcibly if necessary! 3. Don't show ID. 4. Grab your chips and leave. Come back later after a shift change or at a later date to cash them. Never forget: Casino security are like cops, they think they're above the law and won't hesitate to fuck you up. Casinos regularly have to pay massive payouts to settle lawsuits from customers.
The book 'Heat in the Vegas night' is a true story about using a mirror to see the dealers whole card in Blackjack. I am currently writing a screenplay about this true story.
"You can't bet black chips if you have five to $10,000" I thought as a general rule you needed to have 100 times your maximum bet, so wouldn't a black chip be okay to bet?
Hey Colin awesome video man :) Just wondering do you still think card counting is a profession in 2017? Im new to Blackjack and contemplating studying it and hope to excel and make some money. Thanks man
I tend to agree with Tommy's answer at the 10:00 (ua-cam.com/video/Tk5yGepU-VA/v-deo.htmlm) Rules aren't as good as they were 20 years ago, but the sheer number of places to play has made up for it. I know plenty of guys making 6-figures (in 2017) from card counting.
I still make great money playing Blackjack. Not six figures, but I don't play full time, but mostly when I travel. If I had the right game in my backyard, I don't see any reason I couldn't pull $1,000 a week out of them, with no heat. That's not a killing but would bring most people above the poverty line for sure. Always do it, when you have the opportunity. That's my philosophy.
@@dogguy8603 , poor them. I dont care about the hustle that appears to be out there. Both by players but mainly by casinos. Just amazing. I was in vegas and had 0 interest in the tables. Poker is fun. Casinos are shit.
I believe he may be talking about a guy named Bill Benter -- Bill and Tommy are nearly the same age. Bill started as a card counter and then won his fortunes after creating a horse racing analysis program that cleaned house in Hong Kong.
How does one play on a team? Doesnt the money get jumbled and theirs no loyalty ? how do you do this, Im looking for a team but hard trusting ppl with the money.
I say, oh well, still go for it (assuming card counting is a good fit for you). I was 6'2" and looked like I was 17 years old, but still managed to win $600k before moving on to running teams. And I've known really tall, really short, really unique-looking card counters.

So glad you posted this. I shared it on Facebook. Would love to meet this guy.. Great interview, thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Seems like a great guy. Thanks for posting.
thank you
You're welcome!
IN 2 YEARS ILL BUY MY CAR THANKS TO BLACKJACK I SWEAR.
Follow Tommy’s advice and I hope to hear that you get there.
Tommy's the man !!!! Great Interview !!!
Who are we to question the great Tommy Hyland?
What car u plan on getting
In 2 years I'll win my car back😂😂😂😂arghhhhh black jack (joke)
I wonder if Tommy ever met Ken Uston.
the man with the funny ruined face is a legendary card counter
I'm surprised he ever got recognised... he learned to have a pixelated face! :D
blackjack apprenticeship do you think its possible to count on RNG also. Tommy seemed to mention it doesnt matter online or live casino
"You can't bet black chips if you have five to $10,000" I thought as a general rule you needed to have 100 times your maximum bet, so wouldn't a black chip be okay to bet?
100x max bets is still pretty risky. I’d rather have 500 big bets or even 1000.
@@Blackjackapprenticeship do casinos usually play at the whole shoe or fo they shuffle halfway through
Your max bet can turn into a split with a double down. So now all of a sudden 3-4% of your bankroll is one one hand. Not good.
So if your bankroll is 5K, what would you suggest for bet spreads? Assuming 50 minimum bet?@@Blackjackapprenticeship
Good information 👏🎉👌💖👍🏼
I work surveillance lol I seen him yesterday
Anyone know if Tommy Hyland lives in Salinas CA?
poo
good job
Hey Colin awesome video man :)

@@jamesshaw1708 how is it going?
@@jamesshaw1708 any update on your progress?
I’ve been grinding since 75. Are u in WA Colin? I live there now
6:50 New Jersey and Missouri casinos cannot arrest you for trespassing? Is this still true?
They cannot back you off if you are counting cards. So therefore no trespass
Why casinos just dont have continuous shufflers. That would solve their issue.
Some places its illegal, also it takes the fun out of it too
@@dogguy8603 , poor them. I dont care about the hustle that appears to be out there. Both by players but mainly by casinos. Just amazing.

Sounds like a nice guy
The man said one guy he knows is a billionaire playing blackjack.... im not watching this vid
I believe he may be talking about a guy named Bill Benter -- Bill and Tommy are nearly the same age. Bill started as a card counter and then won his fortunes after creating a horse racing analysis program that cleaned house in Hong Kong.
He said he became a billionaire "from gambling" not from blackjack.
how do you practice by yourself
I get confused on when to play multiple hands at once
When the count is high
Nice guy 👍👍👍
How does one play on a team? Doesnt the money get jumbled and theirs no loyalty ? how do you do this, Im looking for a team but hard trusting ppl with the money.
If you hit and get 21, the dealer flips his whole card and is under 17, does he still hit from the deck as usual?
Yes dealer must hit everything above 17
@@joaobaeta5440 You mean he has to hit everything under 17
@@adamarriola7305 yea mistyped haha sorry
Does Tommy play CSM or just hand shyffle or shuffle master Blackjack games?
Definitely not a CSM game.
Not even the great Tommy Hyland can make a decent living off a CSM.
The man with the pixelated face
Hahaha. Yeah, he didn't want his face shown since he still makes a good living counting cards.
“Luckily, I’m not six foot ten or something like that...”
What if you are?
I say, oh well, still go for it (assuming card counting is a good fit for you). I was 6'2" and looked like I was 17 years old, but still managed to win $600k before moving on to running teams. And I've known really tall, really short, really unique-looking card counters.
Then you better file your legs down.
