Just finished my second trip to vegas, got some good $10 sessions at multiple places, and had some nice bubble craps wins. Overall won around $550 for the trip and the last session I had was the live $10 table at ellis island. I ended up losing like $20 for that session, but I had an interesting win with my come bet when the puck was off.

For reference I am a pass line odds + 1 come bet odds, sometimes place 6/8, and I always do my odds working on come out rolls. I had a 4 with single odds come bet when the puck was off, and a 4 rolled, but I forgot to tell the dealer I wanted my odds on. So he told the pit boss I would usually put odds working (I had done so all session) and they paid me the odds!

Obviously I tipped him well, but has anyway else had this happen? Is it even common for pit bosses to allow that?

I was playing double-deck $15 min at treasure island in vegas last night. The guy on my left had almost a grand in green and red chips, and wasn’t betting too big, usually up to $50-$100 but sometimes going down to table min. The table max was like $1000 so I figured there no way he was counting, plus he made basic strategy errors like splitting 6’s against a 7 and standing on 12 vs. 3 (unless there are deviations for those). He also had a basic strategy card with him at the table.

At some point this guy in a suit who was not a pit boss came up to him and said his first name, and no more blackjack. I asked the guy who got backed off what that was all about, and he said he was “winning too much”.

Anyway, do casinos really just back off players who win alot of money, or was this guy actually counting cards?
