Update!

Hi everyone. I haven't been doing much blogging recently, because I've started being on the radio on 1180am kckq in Reno Nevada.

But I will be back soon blogging and also podcasting. Stay tuned, as they say in radio land. And check out this link to the podcasting Factory that I am going to be associated with.

What's the surveillance room like? Repost

This is a repost of a post I made about a year ago, but I feel like it bares s repeating. Enjoy.

Whenever I meet people and tell them what my profession has been for the last 25 years, I always come away with the feeling that they equate card counting and advantage play as cheating.
