Five ways to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs

Five ways to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs: the hen of the golden eggs. I have not written for a long time because my professional activity (which is not playful) has kept me extremely busy. For several months I have been working in Ukraine, Romania, Czech Republic and I have been very little in my house and with mine. These trips allowed me to know casinos, people and very different playing conditions since I had the opportunity to play in all those places. Those who think that blackjack is almost dead as a lucrative activity are far from reality. There are still good places and conditions in the world to play, but now you have to travel, pay hotels and take some risks like exchange controls, insecurity and corruption and even in some cases mafias and traps. Fortunately, in my case, the trips were paid for by my other activities and blackjack alone was a profitable diversion to shovel a bit of solitude. If there is something that has become clear to me from this experience, there are some basic survival rules that must be followed, especially in small towns where there is no variety of casinos and where the rules are good and the game is profitable. One of the things that differentiate an amateur player from a professional is their ability to keep alive "the goose that lays the golden eggs." If you are going to frequent a place where the rules are good and there are no other alternatives, you have to maintain some attitudes that prevent you from being taken out of that place. Rule No. 1: Accept and understand that we are a minority not welcome to the casinos if we are discovered: It does not matter how nice you are, that the croupiers and the table managers greet you kindly, that the beautiful girl who serves drinks smile and the security guards open it to you every time you arrive, if you win a lot and continue it by pure luck, sooner or later you will stop being welcome to the site. If above you discover that you are an advanced player, it is very likely that the hug of the friendly vigilante becomes a kick for your ass ... so I recommend that if you are going to frequent somewhere, regulate the time of each session, do much Noise when you lose and be very discreet with the profits. Avoid having lots of chips in front of you and try as much as possible to have others charge for you in a row. Rule No. 2: The rules of the house are non-negotiable: It does not matter if you know the rules of the house or not, at the time something happens that you consider unfair, first find out if it is really unfair or is a rule of the home. I have seen cases of players making claims and arguments because the house has applied a specific rule. For example burn cards after a mistake by the dealer, prohibit entry in the middle of the shoe, prohibit bets as a whole and even simple things such as not allowing doubles with a strong hand. Remember that although you claim even if you think you are right, there are thousands of players who do not give a damn and continue to throw their money in that place. If in general the conditions and rules are good and you win in that place, do not kill the goose that lays the golden eggs fighting for a rule of the house as you are looking for the tip of the shoe of your friend the guard of the door finish on your butt. Rule No. 3: You are the least important of the casino's clients: In the locations where there are few casinos, you will see in a short time that a good part of the faces are repeated. Regular visitors are always the same, in a short time you will know the habits and style of play of them. In general, these people invest and spend a lot of money in the casino, they often lose and win, but of course, they lose more than they earn. There are of all the types that in the past we have described: the well-to-do, the drunkard, the know-it-all, the old woman, the couple, the orientals, the paratroopers. They are the ones who fill the coffers of the casinos. Most of them play badly, they believe in the myths that we have talked about so much, they think that the game of others affects their game. Unless you can afford to have a private table every time you go to play, which would surely shorten your hen's life, you will have no choice but to play with those people, the casino's favorite customers. Then you will have to arm yourself with patience, learn psychology, be hypocritical and begin to handle the situation so that they will tolerate and understand that you are going to ask with 16 against 10 or that you will open a pair of nines against 6 or that if the account is low he will ask 12 against 4. They will think that you are crazy and that you are damaging the shoe or stealing the bad card from the dealer. You must learn to handle the situation not to fight or to argue with the favorite customers of that casino, because if you bother one of those clients
