In this card counting blackjack video, I somehow acquire $250,000 so I can travel to the US to count cards for a month. I test my skills, figure out a plan to move that much money around, and test out the best hidden cameras I can find so I can catch the whole trip on video.

I'm fairly new. When I'm counting it makes more sense to me to count high cards as +1 and low cards as minus 1. That should make no difference as long as you adjust what you'd normally do at plus you do that at minus instead correct?
How did you convince an investor to give you a lot of money for counting cards at the blackjack table.
@@zacharywong5632 I didn't even pitch him. He just 'got it' and then wanted to invest
Loving this
Shhhhh 🤫
The fact that this series hasn't gotten the amount of exposure it needs is criminal. This is absolutely awesome stuff
Glad you're enjoying it! 😃 Shares do go a long way, spread the word :D
Wait what!? 7k views? Why'd the algorithm show me this? It has nothing to do with all the rat videos I watch!
Happy though, this is awesome. Subbed!
@@Buggaton Rat fans = card counting fans 😂
It would be a bad thing for him if it got millions of views
Needs to work on the thumbnails. I hate it but Linus Tech Tips hasa video showing that cheese ball thumbnails have the biggest impact on views and hitting trending
Great series, I’m hooked
Thank you very much!
Thank you, UA-cam algorithm for popping this series on my page. I like you heavily researched Colin and his team after Holy Rollers. Kids and life keep me from heavily practicing now but definitely retirement goals. Annnd I’ll use your link when I do.😂 Great series! Love the commitment.
Every video in this series is super exciting to watch; I genuinely thought the analogue watch looked and had the best feature set that you were looking for! can't wait to see the next episode!!! 😊
Thank you so much Rob! 😃 Yeah really glad I went with the watch. The glasses also weren't great as I had to angle my head massively to see the table.
It's rare that I'm engrossed enough in a UA-cam series that I can't wait to see the next one, but you've got me here!
Well, some of your Technical Difficulties stuff has had the same effect on me.
Very kind of you mate! Thank you!
Best series going! I'm so stoked to see more!
Thank you Michael Dean! Hope you’re well mate 👍🏻
I love your videos, got into black Jack apprenticeship a few years ago and there was no other card counting vlog. This is so awesome haha
I've recently been binge watching all your previous vids - you truly are incredible!
Very kind of you! Thank you
Steven this is such a great series! I think blackjackapprenticeship is an amazing resource but its so interesting to see what a novice card counter can do if they put in the work. Im getting pissed at myself bc i cannot lock down the s17 and h17 deviations, but when i saw you took a whole year to hone your skills AFTER the boot camp I realized that there is no time crunch. Perfect basic strategy, perfect counting. Then true count conversion, bet deviation and basic strategy deviation . Thanks for giving an honest look at your strengths and weaknesses. I really appreciate the time you put into these videos. Thanks brother and keep counting!
Really glad that it's reassuring to see how long it took me. Yeah just keep at it, one deviation at a time! 😃
I still work on new deviations every day and sometimes 1 deviation will just take me bloomin' ages! Just try not to learn too many at once and keep them part of your daily routine, they'll come. It's really satisfying when a deviation that was reallllllly impossible to learn becomes second nature!
I think of Deviations in terms of this format...
NHC s17/NHC h17/ HC s17/ HC h17
So when I have a deviation I remember it like this....
For example, if I have a 10 and the dealer has a 10 the deviation is:
Hit/Hit/Double at a true 7+/Double at a true 7+
It's just way easier for me to remember each deviation in that format.
@@stevenbridges I’m going to come back in a year or 2 when I actually know wtf this means
This is getting more and more exciting!
Thank you! I like to imagine you're all on the sofa having a cup of tea watching this at the same time
Can’t believe I found your channel, greatest series of vids i’ve seen in a while!
Used to watch you a lot and just got this series in my recommended. Such good work man great job
Thank you! 😃
This should be a feature length documentary movie! It’s so good! At the end of every part I’m like “when’s the next episode 🤤”
Thank you Stephen! Hopefully every Tuesday 😃
this is WONDERFUL so so so exciting! i cannot WAIT for the next one! so well made!
Thanks Jacob! Glad you liked it :)
I'm loving the content and scanning for the watch link!
Excellent, both in production and explanations. Entertaining!
Thank you Steven!
This is fantastic, I so excited for this series to play out

Love this series! Can't wait for the next episode!
Thank you Jacob!
The hype is so real. What a fantastic series
Really glad you’re enjoying it!
Yoo bro, I been playin poker for like 12 years in my life. I love the thrill of gamble but also a lot of skill set to improve odds of winning. Also a moment in my life I wanted to become a casino dealer.
I subbed! Find it very interesting to see your road on card counting.
Best series on UA-cam!
Watching and loving it. Can't wait to see what happens next.
Thanks very much Chris! Appreciate the comment and support
Great way to end the school day, very excited!
Glad you liked it! 😃
Can't wait for the next episode! These are all so interesting, and the videos are really well edited and fun to watch as well. Thank yoouu!
Thank you! Mannnnnnny hours per video goes into the edit so I’m glad it’s entertaining
Loving having you back Steven
Feels great to be back!
I was blown away at how much I've learned since joining BJA. In one month, I'm testing out at 98 and 99%. Still haven't gotten 100% but it'll happen soon as I learn these deviations.
This is soo cool!! Have watched almost every video today
Good luck! Excited to see the results...
Thanks Dan!
This video is amazing! How has it not gone viral already?!!!
Thanks Charlie!
This is hands down the most underrated show on UA-cam right now!
Thank you very much!
Wow, this is fascinating! Great video!! And kudos for taking this on - I'm getting stressed just hearing about the plan 😅
haha imagine living it!
Such a great series!!!
Thanks you Gustavo!
I haven't checked up on this channel in so long, so glad I came back
Check the new playlist on my channel 😃
It's all coming together
Exciting times! 😃
It's great to see you back on UA-cam. This series is awesome.
Thank you! really glad you like it
these videos are so well made!
I've got a job interview tomorrow, and I've got very few expenses. Really hoping to save up the $400 quickly so I can hop on the BJA train; definitely gonna use your link. Great vids so far! I'm excited to see more!
Best of luck with the interview. Card counting is a difficult endeavour but if it’s right for you, you will know. Get saving as bankroll is very important 😃
Great stuff Brutha! 👍👍
Thank youuuuu Krisley!
currently binging through this amazing content. I really hope this gets you the exposure you deserve - its brill. Thank you!
This series is awesome.
An absolute gem of a series to discover
Thank you very much! 😃
To us up and coming grinders… you’re an absolute legend to us, brother.
Cheers, mate 🍻

Oooo Steven Bridges, The British Spy. I can see a movie coming… 😂😂❤️
Hahah thanks Mika. Low budget less handsome James Bond 😂
@@stevenbridges I’ll watch! 😆
great series so far
Thank you Mr Beatbox
This should 100% be turned into a movie or series. What ever makes you the most money.
Wow, what a great series
Love it!! But think I preferred the version that had me in it 🤓 dw guys you’ll be able to see the extended cut on stevens patreon!
Yeah, I was looking forward to seeing you again. Enjoyed your YT videos back when you were making them. I hope you're doing well. :)
Being a card counter who lives in the US is a very good feeling.
Hey mate, look into a cash passport. Master Card do them, I use them for travel exclusively.
Support from finland, your vids amazing
First time I've turned Notifications on on a channel! (:
I am honoured!
Amazing. Waiting for the next episode…
Out today! I got a little delayed but it's on the way
Wow I can’t believe you went straight to the BJ cars counting king himself Collin lol! This was an entertaining video thank you
Thanks for this incredible series! Are you still counting cards?
This series is awsome
Love the videos, could you link where you got the hidden cams im thinking of starting a poker vlog and those would be perfect
Oh, normally HSBC premier allows you to open bank accounts overseas for you to transfer money to without flying there (it takes a while). Getting it out is still difficult though! Moving large amounts of money is tricky!
Yeah! That’s what I managed to do but you’re right, large amounts of cash is always tricky
Lovin this. THANK YOUUUUUUU
THANK YOUUUUUUUU
Great job
really interesting stuff, once YT algorithm picks up on it the series is gonna get the recognition i think it deserves
I hope so 😃 but just mainly happy to be making something people are enjoying
Steven…..as a magician, you’re brilliant. So I’m going to “expect” nothing less for this new venture you’ve embarked upon! You’re simply the best IMO…..have I stroked u enough lmao
Thank you so much! Ego sufficiently stroked 😂
Just found this series and I'm absolutely pumped to binge watch. I've wished someone made this exact series for as long as I can remember, and finally someone did.
Hey great series +StevenBridges 👍
Did you figure out the perfect solution to getting cash out abroad?
This is ridiculously awesome
Glad you liked it!
THIS IS SO COOL
Thanks Savannah! Hope you’re well!
me: ah a nice chill video
"so anyway i started money laundering" 🤣🤣🤣
I was hoping for a bank heist video, where you acquire the money to go card counting.
Good series though!
Hahahaha next series Steven robs a bank 😂
Hi, nice videos and what an awesome experience! can you give us the link o these cameras? tks
You are on it, lol...good for u👍🤗✨🤞☘️🌠☀️
Im in seattle! Thats crazy if only I ran into you and collin at the mucks or snoqualmie.
Can u post a link to your camera glasses and watch I really liked them and want to buy a pair for myself?
I've not watched a lot of your videos yet so I apologize if it's a question you have answered already. But whilst practicing to card count have you played Black Jack in any UK casinos? I'm interested in whether the rules of card counting are different outside of the states.
On your trip to Washington, did you ever visit Clearwater Casino in Suquamish? Thanks Steven
Very exciting stuff! I probably will do the free trial here soon. Thanks for the link, Steven! :) Do you have any links for where to buy those cool spy wear gear you displayed in this video? I'd love to buy glasses or a watch or something like that for my mom to use (don't ask, lol). She'd get such a kick out of it. X)
I don’t have a specific link for the spy stuff but it’s seems like the same hidden cameras are sold in many spy shops. Please use responsibly and legally 😃
@@stevenbridges No worries there. I'm the straightest arrow you'll ever find. I do everything by the book. :)
Hey! Great content!
Quick question why don't you play in UK? Are the games way worse than in the US?
This is some real life James Bond stuff 😂
Heads up, you should look into civil asset forfeiture. It basically means American cops can steal any large quantity of cash from you, and you have to sue to win it back. Also congrats on half a million subs!
I played professionally for 20+ years. To be honest I would avoid using a true count system and switch to a unbalanced count for shoes. You will be able to play far longer without any mistakes. With some modifications in the early part of the shoe (in which unbalanced is weak) you will gain back any potential EV loss by using a unbalanced count (especially with religious wong outs). After playing for so long I also feel that a max bet higher then $200 is a death nail and you will not be able to play long enough to reach EV. With 250k your looking at $600 max bet with correct money management. If your looking at a long career at BJ the playing at that stakes really is a waste of time as you will stand out like a sore thumb. The only thing you will be doing is playing for less then an hour at each place and driving to the next place only to get barred again. Yes it can happen at $200 max too but they are a bit more tolerant. Playing for a living is more about survival. Swinging for the fence is rarely optimal.
Yeah. The best strategy always plays with the current amount of money in hand. However, I am guessing he is doing this for UA-cam.
sick!!!
But one question if the count is high what does this mean? You can get high numbers and maybe the dealer will get them so?
Add some sleights in the BJ games... 😙👌 Also love Colin's channel (I believe that's his name) learned the basics of card counting there.
hahaha oh man if I did that I would be in prison! Yeah Colin is THE man!
@@stevenbridges hahaha, better stay safe then!
ive been practicing this for a couple weeks now, but only on computer, is it easier to keep the count on an actual table where you can physically see the cards, i tend to get lost as the computer moves cards so fast
Go Colin!!
The analog watch might make the casino think you're not into the latest and greatest digital stuff, so you're not a threat with a camera.
The hidden camera bit was actually kinda scary/tense hahaha this is so exciting
haha oh if you think that's intense.... just wait
@@stevenbridges can't wait!
In all honestly as a gambler myself you are crazy todo this, have you much gambling experience? Because it may just seem like counting cards but when your losing the mental stress is massive, I was a poker player for years I was ahead but it was very hard to maintain.
But a lot of time it’s like a job sitting at tables for hours, breaking even
Will be interested to see how you get on good luck :)
The man likes a challenge. Lol :)
I am absolutely crazy to do this. This vid was shot in 2019 so I can now fully appreciate what you are saying.
@@stevenbridges ahh will be interested to see how it unfolds :)
Old but: I own an HSBC account and like many banks they take 2.5% for currency change which is insane! -> now I'm using Wise who is around 0.5% which is much more reasonable (and it's quite easy to transfer from a currency to another then use it).
Great tip! I did use Wise for the actual conversion so we're on the same page 😃
Would you be able to provide an affiliate link to the camera watch you use? I'm looking to buy one and I'd like to support you if i can with using an affiliate link as well as making sure I am buying the one you use. Thanks.
This looks super fun could be an actual job.
Im a little late. But maybe hanging the glasses on your shirt collar, could’ve gotten the best angle
See you at Q&A Magician! 👋🏻
Looking forward to it! 😃
Well, I know what I’m watching when I get home with my tacos. I’m heading out in June. I got a great deal for five nights at the Rio. I live in New Jersey, and Atlantic City has been getting really rundown. There’s some thing about the energy of Vegas. That is absolutely amazing. I’m not even a huge ambler I probably won’t even drop 2K while I’m there unless. Alcohol. PURE MDMA. Hash oil? Free drinks. let’s see what happens?? Ima HIGH ROLL. in both senses. I plan to stay at resorts world next year because I saw a video on it recently that is absolutely stunning. I’ve been there a couple times. In fact, I lost my wallet and the floor people found it with all my money inside thank God.
The test at 2 minutes I think displays fatigue, you start the day fresh you smash the first one of 100% then 98% then less again, you could if worked out how much mental fatigue effected the percentages aswell just for nerd stats :)
hahah love this idea! I also think it's handy for card counters to set an alarm at like 3am and do a test out then. Because if you can pass at 3am then you don't have to worry as much if you're a little tired when actually playing.
@@stevenbridges honestly that's a fantastic idea mate! Good luck in your operations :)
While in Washington state, did you run into a lot or any automatic shuffle machines? Here in Ontario, Canada, I haven't found a casino or even a table that doesn't use use them at any of the 4 casinos I have checked Obviously there is no winning there.
the HSBC stuff makes sense tho cause if it was readily available for the public what's to stop criminals from money laundering through there
Best.of.stop time
Forgive me if this is a silly question but why do you have to go to america? doesnt europe offer the same tables ? if somethings different i’d love to know.
