Here are the night game match ups this week and my picks

TNF - Minnesota Vikings at Los Angeles Rams (-7). The Vikings got embarrassed last week by one of the worst teams in the league, the Buffalo Bills. They will be anxious to get that taste out of their mouth as soon as possible, so this game coming on a Thursday night is perfect for them. The Rams have injury problems in the defensive secondary, and will have 3 rookies on the field when in "nickle" coverage. This is a bad thing to have happen during a short week. Minnesota may not have enough to win, but should keep it close. Take the Vikings+7.

SNF- Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers (-3). Pittsburgh had an impressive first half last Monday against Tampa Bay, then held on in the  second half to win. Since the start of last year, the Steelers are just 2-5 ATS against division opponents. I think that trend continues here, as the Ravens defense will do a much better job this week than Tampa Bay did in the first half last week. Take the Ravens +3.

MNF - Kansas City Chiefs at Denver Broncos (+4.5). I've kind of painted myself into a corner with my first two picks.  I'm now forced to either pick three road teams or three underdogs, neither of which seems very appealing, at least not for a 3-team parlay. 

Kansas City is one of only three remaining undefeated teams, and this Monday they're favored on the road in Denver. I'm finding it tough to get a handle on this game, as recent ATS trends aren't convincing, one way or another. My knee-jerk reaction is to not bet against Denver at home on a primetime game. However, Kansas City is really looking good this year. I think 2nd year quarterback Patrick Mahomes is a huge upgrade from Alex Smith, at least that's how he's been playing up until now. Still, it's his first career start in Denver.  Hmmmm.......

When in doubt, take the points. Denver + 4.5.

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...
