Now an AP/Dealer, I spent many years in surveillance at large casinos. I can confirm that just because someone is drawing attention on one table and playing high dollar amounts, winning/losing, doesn’t mean other patrons are being ignored. The ways surv catches APs can vary. Great content, Steven. Congrats to you and Strike. May the chips continue to fall your way!!
Yeah if someone is way overdramatic then it can clearly be a sign they are drawing attention away from something else. This is not just a thing in gambling but in other situations too such as actual theft/robbery or trespassing etc... and even random people like me would probably assume they are an accomplice if someone else did something suspicious when out in public or if in casinos they won too many games during this time
@@JohnnyLobesabsolutely not true. Advantage players can still be discovered while they are losing. The result doesn’t change the manner of play. If the casino staff is intelligent they aren’t looking at the result.
Retired lawyer here. Big believer in following the laws. Which, by definition, means that I also believe in using laws to a legitimate/reasonable extent for self-benefit. Shield/sword. If you can use the casinos’ rules/laws to beat them at their own games while not breaching any gaming or criminal laws, more power to you. Very nicely done!
I mean you absolutely can but you probably just don't want to buy obviously some people are better at doing certain things than others. Like I'm really good at making sha baby sha boo boos!!!
To everyone saying he should use a fake ID - nah. Their armor is that they’re not breaking any laws. Imagine a casino called law enforcement before he has a chance to get away - if he was forced to show ID, even not rightfully, he’d be caught red-handed in a felony. Even if he gave a fake to the casino employee and the real one to a cop later, it’d still almost certainly become the focus over whether he’s counting or not. Always gotta consider the worst case - even a 0.001% chance of catching a felony just devastates the EV of your career. Think of the Team Graph!
If you already are in the database, then the chance that they figure out it's fake is not that low anymore, in particular if you are Steve Bridges from youtube.
Yeah better to follow the law and not catch a case. Don’t want to end up a felon. Don’t carry fake ID’s, it’ll burn you in the end if a cop ever catches you with one. Even having other people’s ID’s can potentially be bad. As a former taxi driver I ended up with other people’s ID’s as collateral all the time. Funnily enough people would rather lose their Id and pay for a new one, than just call me and pay back some silly fare worth $20-30. People are dumb, I’ve seen all types as a cab driver.
Sign up for MGM. They give you $50 every two weeks. Just throw that back at them. If you win, you win, if you don't, you walk. All the hairdressers at the spot I get my hair cut do it. They're up several thousand dollars.
At a Midwest casino I was playing 3rd base and had a pit boss over my shoulder for some time. That or staring from the podium. One shoe was particularly good and I distinctly remember the true count being +8 after having been dealt a pair of faces with the dealer showing a 5. I looked at the pit boss mere inches from me and say, the running is +16 with exactly 2 decks remaining. That would leave me with a true count of 8. I proceeded to split (and win) the hand. The look on his face was pure disbelief as I quickly colored up and left. 🤷♂️ Gonna go down, may as well have fun!!
I’m way too hooked on your series, for me this is the best channel on UA-cam. You have a real talent with story telling, please never stop the uploads 🙏🏼❤️
Moral of this video: Casinos are gits. Never underestimate their greed. Stand by your principles and give them nothing. This includes you keeping your ID to yourself when you're blitzing a city.
Wow. I just realized that you haven't made a magic video for four years! Hope the card counting thing works out for you, man. So long, and thanks for all the fish.
Steven bridges is easily one of the best channels youtibe ever stumbled ne upon I have reccomended these counting series to friends countless times in the past few days since I joined the bridges brigade
Thanks to your channel I've become a far far more skilled Blackjack player. I'm still new so I only play small hands (Between $10-$25 hands) but I've managed to have 3 profitable sessions from the last 4 I've played. I generally start with $50-$100 and when the deck heats up I up my bet and ride it out. As soon as I triple my money I walk away. My best session (my last one) I started with $50 and cashed out at $500. I know side bets are stupid but once I got to $150 I started betting 2 hands at $10 with $2 on perfect pairs and $2 on the flush. Hit a perfect pair and a flush on 7's against a 4, split and the dealer busted. It was a great night so thanks for all the videos and entertainment you give
I thought about you today getting cut off all the time. I reached 6 figure profit betting NFL games for the 1st time being a 50 year old lifetime gambler. I went to place my bet on Draftkings today a 12k bet and draftkings cut me off on their sportsbook. What a great feeling and accomplishment. Love your videos.
@@tommyfu9271 I was betting 8-16k a game won most ( I don' bet every week unless a game stands out.) I dont get how they just shut you down without warning. I also got $100 ticket on Flacco at 100-1 to win comeback player of the year which has a great shot.
Your videos are amazing man. You may be a great counter but shit, you're an even better storyteller. Had my eyes glued the whole time, my food went cold!! Please. Make. More.
the pain I felt when they described Irish’s accent as Australian. No mate, that was New Zealand and completely different 😂😂. at least the neal armstrong line was comedy gold!
That wasn't an NZ accent either. It was the generic not Aussie not Kiwi not South African accent that happens when people struggle to do one of the accents.
This is my favorite series on youtube, its just like a movie Steven keep doing theseeeee currently the best series of youtube so far!!! Much love from Tahiti 🙌🙏
Hey Steven, did you declare over $10k when leaving bahamas? They held me for 3 hours, making miss my flight when I had 9k. They were "making sure" I didn't have over 10k. if I did they would have taken it all
What a fun sponsor. I've used matched betting during my studies and I made around €7000/€8000 in half a year which was absurd for me as a student. Great sponsor, I recommend everyone to give it a try! Unfortunately it's not available in the Netherlands below the age of 24 anymore.
The stations casinos are connected together. Stations, Red Rock, Durango, Boulder City, The Palace and Green Valley are all part of Stations umbrella, which is why you probably got backed off at Stations since you just left Red Rock.
yea spreading as big as he did at Red Rock then going to Santa Fe Station after was just begging for it. He should have hit Sun Coast while he was in that area.
It's been awesome to see you making the media rounds on a bunch of different channels lately. Are you worried you'll ever reach a level of fame that you'll have to quit the team?
“i am not an expert on colours but i know that black is different from white. im not an expert in space but i know that neil armstrong is the first man to land on the moon”🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭 i cannot stop laughing
DUDE STOP GOING ALL TOGETHER IN 1 CAR TO THE CASINO. all they have to do is track you all back to the parking lot and bam they have your whole team. dumb move bro this is how they keep getting you
red rock actually takes action pretty well. but you can't go from one hand of 25 to 2 hands of 400 on double deck especially and last long at all. and then after doing that go to another stations property to play again. that's just pure greed and BEGGING to be flyered. if you really wanna blast them like that you should do it at the end of a Vegas trip not at the beginning.
@@sanfranciscobay it's not how you have to gamble on a DD game. you can smash a deeply double deck with a 6-1 spread and play for a while at red rock. Oh you can throw it in their face, get backed off in 20 mins and flyered across all station properties and show your id in the process. Don't get me wrong everyone makes mistakes and need to learn from them but this spread and then going to Santa Fe right after was a huge mistake.
I really enjoy your videos, thanks for doing all the hard work out there and then sitting down to edit an amazing video like all of the "beat the odds".
Dang, sorry you got caught out so early on in your Vegas visit, but glad you were able to get a little play in! So much fun watching you sneak about in your disguises. X)

@@Moosedrool-APdid u wake up tho
I really like this new editing style at 6:06 where you show us how you're playing. Hope you do it for all your videos
I nearly did a spit take when Irish said the Neil Armstrong line. Love these vids! =
Angry Buzz Aldrin: "WE BOTH LANDED AT THE SAME TIME!"
Irish being able to remain in his disguise while becoming more and more frustrated is really cool
He is Australian
Just binge watched every episode from s1. Never knew I’d enjoy watching card counting so much.
Irish seems like a fucking legend, it’s always fantastic to see him in these videos.
I already loved Irish and his Hollywood ways but 13:42 is unbeatable
Why didn’t he blur his voice?
@@ImTheCrewSeems like this was his fake accent he had practised before, not the real way he talks.
The retort to "are you an expert" line was amazing, I'm not sure why I'd need to use it but I'm banking that for future use.
I've been loving this series. Always so tense and entertaining! Thank you Steven!
The recorded conversation when irish was trying to leave was hilarious!
I love seeing you guys make off with a little of the casino's money.... you guys are stepping up the game in a big way!
Casinos r the dirtiest companies and deserve to lose their money lol
Dude, I'm always so hype when these come out. It's like watching an actual episode of a show. Keep it up Steven!
I’m way too hooked on your series, for me this is the best channel on UA-cam. You have a real talent with story telling, please never stop the uploads 🙏🏼❤️
Back again for my favorite series on youtube LOVE IT!
Could not have asked for a better time for a Steven upload. This channel is so great.
favorite series on UA-cam right now for SURE. Niiice videos man, good luck to the team!
Ik this is gonna be a well spent 17 mins and 17 seconds of my life 😁
Irish seems like a fun guy to be around, I bet that relieves some of the stress that comes with counting
Love these videos. Please keep up the card counting trips.
Please NEVER stop uploading these videos Steven🤝 I’ve love them
14:05 - mate a bit off from Aussie but you actually absolutely nailed an NZ accent there
Sounds more south African to me, maybe I'm wrong though
The fact Irish had to do an accent throughout that whole argument with casino staff is hilarious
Glad to see your team being successful in Vegas! Keep those winning streaks going!
Good point Steven....after all the planning thats involved, you guys outta have an agreement beforehand about showing ID.
Always on the edge of my seat for these videos man! Amazing start to this trip, can’t wait to hear how the rest goes!
Wow. Irish is such a funny guy. Especially with the Neil Armstrong Space line 😂
I like how you're masking Irish's voice the whole video, but then play it crystal clear on the recording 😀
It's cuz he's using his fake accent in the recording, not his real one
Irish is just an awesome guy with an awesome attitude, i bet he's such an entertainer at parties
I love it when a Steven Bridges video comes on my feed because I know it'll be good! :D
One of my favorite series on youtube at the moment
Being an Aussie. That accent was borderline a hate crime on New Zealanders and their accents 😂
❤ haha pure gold
I just found this channel 2 weeks ago and you’re my favorite UA-camr now !!
Moral of this video: Casinos are gits. Never underestimate their greed. Stand by your principles and give them nothing. This includes you keeping your ID to yourself when you're blitzing a city.
Wow. I just realized that you haven't made a magic video for four years!
Hope the card counting thing works out for you, man. So long, and thanks for all the fish.
Hitting homeruns and not striking out is the name of the game. I'm in awe of you guys.
But it isn't, plays can last for decades without attention seekers
Steven bridges is easily one of the best channels youtibe ever stumbled ne upon
I have reccomended these counting series to friends countless times in the past few days since I joined the bridges brigade
We demand more Irish content, what a human being!!
10:13 🤔 Neat idea 💡 When 1 is backed off, the other ✌️’s. Love these Adventures of UK Blackjack Man!
American accent at 5:20 was hilarious 😂
Imo this is the best content on UA-cam

Side bets alter ev take that into account as they’re just a side gamble there’s no edge to gain
Walks into a casino.
Everyone: "Hi Steven, you're not allowed to play Blackjack."
I love this series, it's like real life casino heists
Smile on my face as soon as I see a new one of these come up 👍
I've been addicted to these card counting videos
god damn, you just keep pumping them out thank you so much this is an amazing christmas/new years gift for all of youtube
adding the hands on the screen is extremely nice to watch , hoping you do this more on future videos 😅
Probably my favorite blog series on UA-cam! Keep it up, and hope you don’t go bust! Love these so much

Another great one for the archives. Sensational preserverance on Irish's part. Steven, remember, never ever give ID. Stand your ground. Great video.
Best series ever man and ugh Irish is so funny "I'm not an expert in space but I know Neil Armstrong was the first man on the moon" LMAOOO
0:21 It's interesting how much higher quality a shot seems when there are two angles
