NFL week 2 Five Star POTW.

As we begin, here is a reminder that you can get a free 30 day trial of Amazon Prime by clicking here. 

My five-star pick of the week this week, is the San Francisco 49ers - 5.5 at home against the Detroit Lions. Here is my analysis.

Janeane Garofalo, sorry I meant Jimmy Garoppolo, finally lost a game as a starter in the NFL, as the 49ers lost 24-16 to the Minnesota Vikings last week in Minnesota. This week is the 49ers home opener and they are looking to get on the winning track. The Vikings defense is one of the best in the game, which is why the 49ers had trouble scoring points. They are not going to have that problem this Sunday.

The Lions are a hot mess. They got the score run up on them, at their home opener, by the Jets, of all teams, with a rookie QB starting his first NFL game, who also threw a pick-six on his very first pass attempt. After that play, the Jets outscored the Lions 48-10, with Matt Stafford throwing five interceptions of his own. There is no way that Detroit goes on the road and covers here.

Take the 49ers -5.5.  (BTW, I am releasing this pick earlier then usual, as I expect this number to rise during the week. Nobody, and I mean nobody, in Vegas or Reno is going to be betting on Detroit.)  Good luck everybody.

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. I got another good question last week, from a reader wanting to know what a surveillance room is like, how it is laid out and how it is staffed and run.  So here goes. I have worked in surveillance departments at six different casinos in the last 25 years. Some very small (300 slots, 6 blackjack tables) and some very big (3000 slots, 60-70 table games of all kinds). When I started in the early 90's it was all VCRs and not all cameras were recorded all the time. We used a lot of "multi-plexers" and "quad screens". A multi-plexer used one VCR to display and record up to 16 screens on one monitor. Since the VCR still records at 30 frames per second, that meant that if you did a review on any one of those 16 screens you would be looking at a "freeze frame" effect, where you only got 1.8 frames per second of the shot you were looking at. A quad would record ...

Advantage play is not cheating. Repost

This is a reprint of a previous post on advantage play. Before I begin, I want to remind you about my Patreon page. If you enjoy my content, and would like to see more of it more often, please consider becoming a patron. Click here to go to my page. 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. It is not, of course, as most of the readers of this blog undoubtedly know. It is just against the policy of most casinos to allow it. As a legally licensed, privately owned business located on private property, all casinos have the right to refuse service to anyone, for any reason they choose. Most of the time, card counting, or ace/shuffle tracking, or anything else that casino management considers "advantage play" wont even get you thrown out, just politely asked to not play blackjack anymore. Management would love to have you go play slots...
