let him cash out said to the cop um and the cop just backed down and and they cashed me out and i
i got out of there with just a trespass wow so not not a trespassing ticket just if i come back
yeah i'll be trespassed um so yeah like walking out of that casino it was the first time i was
like wow there can i got to witness the corruption that can happen between law enforcement and and
casinos right they're probably in bed together, right?
All right, guys, we're talking Blackjack today.
We got Rick from Blackjack Advisors here.
Thanks for coming on, man.
My pleasure. Thanks for having me.
You had a good run yesterday. We were just talking about it.
Yeah, yeah, it's good. So we just flew in yesterday.
We got a couple of podcasts to do,
and we're going to make a team trip out of it because that's what pays the bills these days.
Yeah, how long have you been doing blackjack for?
So, like, I started learning in high school, so that was maybe six years ago.
Actively playing, it's been about four, four and a half years.
Yeah, with the interruption with COVID and whatnot, shutting down.
Got it.
A bunch of stuff, but yeah, I would say four and a half years.
And were you successful at first, right off the bat, or did it take some time?
No, definitely not so right off the bat i mean you need a lot of hours
to reach the long run that's the game right because we play with a small edge um so the edge
switches about two like like whatever it's average three percent for the house and we switch that
back into average two percent for the player um so you need a lot of hours. So I didn't stay above zero.
I had a bad run in the beginning.
And after about six months,
and I was playing part-time, right?
Because I'm still working.
After about six months, I stayed above zero.
Wow. So you have a 2% edge.
2% edge, yeah.
And so the idea is if you have a 2% edge on each hand,
play as many hands as you can.
Right.
And you'll come out ahead.
So the same ideology that the casino is using
against everyone else
is what we're trying to use against them.
And that edge is from counting?
Counting, yeah.
So perfect mathematical blackjack with the count.
So you just follow the numbers.
You don't even, no emotion involved.
It's just pure logic.
For sure, yeah.
And then so you try and make it emotional,
but as far as what you're actively doing,
the game of blackjack is solved.
It's been solved for a while.
There's a correct decision for each hand.
So you're playing perfect mathematically.
And then adding the count in
is going to help with your betting.
So it tells you when it's in your favor
and when it's not.
You bet accordingly.
And you said 90% of tables in Vegas are winnable.
I would say, yeah.
So the wide majority majority almost every casino has
something um beatable for blackjack okay but then every casino is going to have something beatable
in general we focus on beating the game of blackjack that's impressive so what are the
odds that make it unwinnable is it a certain ratio on the payouts yeah yeah so if you want to talk
about like six to5 blackjack,
that's going to be terrible for the player.
Although you can still beat this table,
even just with card counting.
It's going to be much less worth your time.
And then as far as CSM machines go,
you can beat those too.
It's not going to be with card counting.
But yeah, so if you're just a card counter,
the CSMs are a nightmare. What's not going to be with card counting. But yeah, so if you're just a card counter, the CSMs are a nightmare.
What's a CSM?
It's the big machines that you see on
the table that's just constantly
cycling through cards.
So you'll notice they play a few
hands. They take the cards out of the discard
tray and put it into the shuffle machine.
So it's a constant. So even the gamblers,
the reason why you don't see these much,
well in Vegas for sure you don't see these much, is, in Vegas, for sure, you don't see these much,
is because the gamblers are just not a fan of them.
They know it worsens their edge as well, right?
Even if they're still maybe playing a losing game, right?
They want to have the best chance to win.
So they don't like them either,
and that's kind of why Vegas stays away from them.
That makes sense.
So those deck shufflers, like, are those a problem for you?
If you see those, those automatic shufflers?
Yeah, yeah. So there is a slight difference between, like, an automatic shufflers like are those a problem for you if you see those those automatic shufflers yeah yeah and so there is a slight difference between like an automatic shuffler is it might look like something where dealer takes uh maybe a six deck shoe and there's just
already six deck shuffled and then they put that into the shoe so those are fine um the big machines
that you see on the tables those are called csms yes those are the problem and although there's advantage players that have beaten these machines um in different
ways um if you're just a strictly a card counter yeah um yeah you're not gonna be able to beat
them does the number of decks matter for you yeah yeah so on on average the lower the amount of decks
uh the better the house edge for the player the better the game um is the more it's going to be worth as a card counter got it because you can keep track
easier of the counting um not only that it's just you're reaching the long run faster so we need to
see so if you're playing a six deck game what you're doing is you're just keeping the count
and then what we call it is you're dividing by how many decks are left. And then what this does, this step just makes any amount of decks, you use the same process.
So in double deck, you're only dividing by two.
It's just speeding up the game.
Got it.
And then even single deck, I don't even know if there's any single deck in Vegas anymore.
I don't think there is.
I haven't seen any.
But yeah, so single deck would be the best on average.
That makes sense.
Now you build this operation of $50,000
a month. Is that profit or is that revenue? So that's going to be gross. Yeah, that's revenue.
Wow, that's impressive. Gross. And that's as far as last year we averaged. Well, myself,
I was able to average a little bit over 50K per month. And that's running a Blackjack team,
total of six members. So there's six of you guys, you spread out to each casino
and then hopefully you guys make money. That's the whole theory. Yeah, exactly. So just like,
just like any greatly profitable business, you start off with yourself and you learn how to do
it yourself. And then the next step, if you want to keep growing is to expand. So, so that's what
I did with, learned how to do it all myself. Kick off an exciting football season with BetMGM,

I grew up my personal bankroll,
and I started teaching people,
teaching trustworthy people in my life
perfect mathematical blackjack,
and then started bankrolling those players.
So you're staking them almost.
Exactly, yeah.
So they go through the exact same steps I went through,
and they get to start where I'm at, right?
So they get to bet more,
and it's going to be worth more for them.
Right.
So, yeah.
So at the end of the night, you pool all the money and just split it evenly?
Pretty much.
So what we do mostly is we have four full-time players and two part-time players.
So the two part-time players, their hours and their earnings are pooled.
And then for the four part-time players, some started at different times and
whatnot. So a lot of the time, everyone's kind of out on their own. Maybe someone's in America,
someone's in Canada, someone's going to the UK. And so they're just kind of battling it out there
on their own. And then whatever the stake amount we agreed on, and I can talk about that. With my
players, it's 50% goes to players, 50% goes to investors. Got it. So any of my players can
add as much money, put as much skin in the game as they want to and buy back some of the investors
portion of it. And then as a player, they are also earning 50% of the profits. Interesting model.
Does this work online, on online casinos? So of course there has been online casinos that have
been beaten at blackjack
but overall i mean casinos they're they're good right they're smart so they know what they're
doing and so they counteracted it they pretty much butcher the rules on online blackjack
they cut the shoe in half it's it's a terrible house edge uh when you're playing online blackjack
so for the most part no oh wow it's not beatable online so they've raised their edge online yeah yeah significantly how did they do that is that
even legal because i thought it had to be a certain edge no no it's it's legal so like what
they'll do is just like like here in vegas like you can go to six stack game and they offer
surrender resplit ace um stand 17 whatever um they take all of that out online uh so some games
aren't even letting you double after the
split wow um yeah they just butcher it they make it so like uh so no matter what um what you do
even if you if you have the count then you're not going to be able to beat it yeah that just never
becomes advantage for the for the player what is the average amount of time you're in one casino
before you get backed off so the way it works is I'll talk about here in Vegas.
So we have like trip routes pretty much that we're following.
And then on average, you probably like at the end of the trip,
if you can get two hours average per casino, you're going to do really well.
But what the day-to-day actually looks like is that it might be 15 minutes, 15 minutes.
Like maybe you're playing sister properties and you played the first one and you got a good amount of day.
Maybe you played that casino all day, but then now it's going to be really tough to play their sister properties.
So on average, yeah, it's going to equal out to like two hours.
But I mean, I've camped casinos for a month before.
Oh, wow. And they couldn't find you?
Yeah. Yeah. They just slower casinos one
in particular was a brand new opening um so it was just everyone was yeah they didn't have the
cameras yeah they didn't really know what's up um but yeah eventually they figured it out yeah
and really it's not that we're trying to fool them it's that we're trying to play we're playing
aggressively and obviously for a short period amount of time and going to the next one interesting there's 2100 casinos in america and yeah you just keep it
moving so you try to leave before it gets to that point uh no we for the most part we are playing
until they tell us they don't want us oh really more yeah wow and has any of those led to something
like an arrest or anything so there there's people I know in the space
that have some crazier stories
as far as arrests go and whatnot.
But the law is on our side.
So the wide majority of time,
it's a very polite, polite back office
with these casinos.
Now, yeah, we have had some extreme situations.
So I can remember early day in my career, I was in Washington State.
I was playing at this casino.
It was all going normal.
I was using my spread, won some money, got backed off.
So I'm walking up to the cage and it's all cool.
And then as they're cashing me out, the cashier sets aside a thousand dollars just off to
the side and then starts paying out, paying out the amount minus the thousand bucks. And so I
asked like, of course, what's, what's with the thousand dollars you set off to the side? Um,
and they go, Oh, you were overpaid. So we're not, we're not paying you that part. And so of course
I was like, uh, well, surely you guys got to show me some proof of this or or
whatever right so i was fighting it i was pushing it um eventually the general manager just called
called the police wow and then the police showed up so they don't just bring one police officer it
was it was five police officers for this for this occasion so i would have left yeah and so they
they walk up and i remember the first thing the cop said to me was, if you don't get the fuck out of here, I'm going to arrest you.
Damn.
And so at that point, yeah, I just, I went, I shut up. I asked general manager because he's
getting ready to like grab me, this cop. I asked him, is it good? I'll, I'll cash out. You guys
will never see me again. And so before that we were chatting, we were having a good conversation
with that manager. And so I think this is what saved me.
But the manager said, yeah, let him cash out.
He said to the cop and the cop just backed down and they cashed me out.
And I got out of there with just a trespass.
Wow.
So not a trespassing ticket.
Just if I come back, I'll be trespassed.
So yeah, like walking out of that casino, it was the first time I was like, wow, there can,
I got to witness the corruption that can happen between law enforcement and,
and casinos.
Right.
They're probably in bed together,
right?
Like you hope not always,
right?
But,
uh,
yeah,
there's definitely some,
like these casinos are so powerful that,
uh,
I mean,
they can dictate laws in some.
Yeah.
Money talks.
Cause in some cities that casinos are probably the number one revenue driver.
For sure.
Yeah.
Vegas is probably one of them. Yeah. Yeah. So luckily I Because in some cities, casinos are probably the number one revenue driver. For sure. Yeah, Vegas is probably one of them.
Yeah.
Yeah, so luckily, I'm like,
I know a lot of people have seen the movie 21, right?
The card counting movie.
Yeah, they kind of painted the picture
like you might be taking the risk
of getting your legs broken in the background.
But no, we've never even not been cashed out
from the casino because like I said,
the law's on our side.
And yeah, so for the most part, they pay you out and they just don't want you back yeah times have changed the mobs aren't running the casinos anymore yeah yeah it's good for you
now do the people at the table matter because some people get pissed if you don't play by the book
and they think it's your fault does that actually matter to you so yeah so talking from the math
perspective they do not matter um the only thing that would
affect it is i want to be playing heads up because it's a faster game i'm getting more rounds it's
worth more for me but as far as playing at a table um no it is half the time that bad decision
is going to help you and half the time it's going to hurt you and it all is going to even out in the
long run right yeah and that's the the law that we're abusing is numbers are predictable over a long period of time.
So yeah, although the dealer maybe takes,
or sorry, the anchor at the table makes a bad move
and the dealer gets 21.
Yeah, in that hand, it affected it.
But over the long run, no, it does not.
Thank God you busted that myth, man.
People make you feel bad, you know,
if you make the wrong move.
Because I don't know the book.
I just play. Yeah, I might get some heat for that one from all the gamblers because
yeah but uh no it does it does not affect it i've played just around 2 000 hours of blackjack so
what do you think about the book everyone tells you to play that if you're a beginner is that the
move yeah yeah so basic strategy right you're talking about the book. Yeah. Yeah. So I've heard lots of myths that, oh, the casinos created the book. They want you to play that way. It wasn't the casinos who created the book. It was the computers that created the book. People ran simulations and said, tell me the best way to play basic strategy. And that's the book. And so now if you're keeping the count, you can deviate from the book in certain situations. And that's all through math. But no, as far as learning the book is the fundamental part to
learning how to count cards. Got it. So if you play the book without counting, the casino still
has a 3% edge. Yeah, on average. So Blackjack's pretty good. It's average 3% house edge because
people don't play the book. But if they were playing the book and you have the
great rules here in Vegas, the casino only has a 0.5% advantage over you on average, depending on
the rules, it's going to change a little bit. But yeah. Yeah. So it's almost a coin flip, right?
It's just slightly in their favor if you're playing the book. Got it. Yeah. Any spots you
played out where you thought it was a little fishy? You thought the casino was doing something weird?
Yeah, there's been times where I thought about calling it quits,
going through bad variants, and you're not sure.
Maybe the casino has that reputation of the past.
Maybe they've had some court cases that went down.
Yeah, there's a casino that I've avoided.
In Vegas or?
In Florida.
Oh, in Florida.
In Florida that I avoided because there's just too much controversy over this casino.
Yeah.
But for the most part, these casinos don't want to be breaking the laws to make their money.
They just don't want to take that extra risk.
I mean, they pretty much have a license to print money, right?
So why take that extra risk of committing fraud to make make the money they're going to make it anyways um so so yeah if if there's casinos that are cheating out there i would have to think that it's extremely rare yeah i feel that um yeah
i know there's some other people in the ap space that think differently ap advantage player advantage
player space that uh that might think differently about certain situations, but no.
Well, sometimes you're just going to run bad, right?
I'm sure you lose some days, some nights.
Yeah, for sure.
So last year, we had 11 good months and one terrible one, right?
So we play blackjack, right?
Hundreds and hundreds of hours and come down after a month.
So yeah, you need a lot of hours to reach this long run.
But yeah, it's easy to think, right?
That when you're going through a terrible space,
it feels like you're playing so much blackjack, right?
And you have the edge.
And so to come down from it,
it's hard to process in the mind.
You go through those battles.
So I can see where they're coming from, right?
When they think the casino is cheating.
But no, from my experience, I've never even witnessed it.
Wow, yeah.
You got to control that tilt when you're losing too, right?
Yeah, yeah.
It's a stressful endeavor.
It's not going to be easy money.
It can be good money when done right.
Yeah.
But yeah, it's a stressful job.
Stressful, but I think there's perks too.
You get to travel the world, which is awesome.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you get to get to yeah like a lot of the benefits i mean yeah it's a it's a free reason
to travel the world right you can go to these places and and make money from them it's that's
awesome i mean more perks from it like especially with the starting your blackjack team or being a
part of a blackjack team you get that camaraderie right so it's like the money is great right but
you guys have to trust each other to a core right and so when you do get this team i mean like you
have a team here and everyone seems great yeah you would know what i'm talking about when you
do get that team it's like yeah you guys get to share the money but just having that team and
like those lifelong friends is is even better absolutely absolutely yeah and now you're training
other people how to do this right yeah yeah that's that's right. So I started alone. I grew up my bankroll. I learned all the nuances of beating casinos.
Because yeah, once you do learn the perfect mathematical blackjack with the count, it's kind of like you're armed with a hammer at the job site, but you've never been to the job site yet. You really don't know what to do. So I learned it for myself. And then a couple of years after that, maybe two
years after that, I started teaching people the same process I did and sent them out on the same
routes I did. And I was just able to guide these players through the exact same experiences that
I went through. And how long would it take to really master this in your opinion? Yeah. So
it's a good question. So it's all memory, right? So none of the math goes
above like third grade level. So it's just going to be dependent on a person's memory. Uh, for me,
it took a little bit longer. I do not have a good memory. Uh, but I mean, for some of my most recent
teammates, like the quickest one got it done in three months. Wow. Yeah. And so he was, he was
practicing, uh, uh, quite a bit, probably, probably like three hours a day, right? And he was able to learn it in three months.
And then for myself, it took about nine months to learn it.
So when you say memory,
you're just trying to memorize all the different scenarios.
Yeah, yeah.
So it's like, there's like four steps,
four steps of beating card counting or beating blackjack.
First step is the book, like you talked about, basic strategy.
So you got to have that down pat.
Second one is introducing the count. And so first of all, first step is just memory,
right? Second part is the count. So just adding and subtracting, right? Yeah. Third is going to be the dividing the running count by the true count. So like deck estimation, just making any
number of decks, you're just relating it to a one deck game right
and then the fourth step is going to be deviations so when you deviate from the book
and again that's just more memory so it's strictly what it's just strictly memory as far as beating
blackjack goes interesting so you got to memorize four different things at the same time yeah yeah
so just mixing it all in together is is the part takes a bit. Yeah. Doing it in real time in a casino environment.
But yeah, that's the easy part of the job.
As you start, for the viewers, if you're learning this process,
if you're interested in it, you'll notice that it's very manageable,
like actually beating the game of blackjack.
Yeah.
The hard part comes later, but as far as gaining the edge over the casino,
getting that hammer in your tool belt,
yeah, it's manageable for the average person for sure.
And which table do you prefer?
Because there's different minimums, right?
Yeah.
So for the most part,
I'm just looking for a table that is going to be heads up.
So just me and the dealer, right?
It's going to be moving the fastest.
So that's oftentimes high limit rooms. In the beginning days of my career, I couldn't afford maybe $100,
$200 minimum. So I'd play out on the floor where it's just more busy, right? Because that's what
I could afford. But yeah, for the most part, high limit is also going to have the best rules. So
these days, yeah, we're hanging out in the high limit rooms of casinos. Yeah. And do you leave
if a bunch of people sit at your table?
If there's an empty table next door, I will.
Yeah.
Empty table, you know, right beside.
Yeah.
It's just way faster.
That makes sense.
Unless I've built up a relationship at the table, like with, you know, maybe like the
casino whale and we're just having a ton of fun together.
I mean, now the casino doesn't want to kick me out, right?
Because they'll look bad in front of the whale.
So I feel like I could last longer
just having this relationship with their favorite player.
That's smart.
You use the guy as like your friend, right?
Yeah, for sure.
So yeah, like I talked about,
like earning your hammer, right?
And showing up to the job site,
you know none of this stuff, right?
But then actively doing it day to day,
you learn all this stuff.
Because the hard part is getting time in the casinos.
Like they're not dumb, right?
They've seen it all before.
And you have to get creative to get time in these casinos.
Right.
They know exactly what to look for, right?
The dealers probably know if you're counting.
Yeah.
I mean, well, sometimes.
A lot of the times I think it may feel like that.
But I think we're probably giving them too much credit at times.
They're just there for their hourly.
But the more experienced ones, yeah,
they're going to be able to spot a spread,
and they'll at least know, okay, well, maybe,
maybe this is an advantage player, and they can let someone know.
Right.
But, yeah.
Are you taking advantage of the comps too?
Yeah.
Yeah, for sure.
Oh, yeah.
Those are nice in Vegas.
Yeah.
Yeah, because we're doing great.
Our numbers are growing.
Yeah, we still keep expenses
low and whatnot especially for the members on the team that aren't uh making as much they're still
in the early stages right yeah so yeah you want to keep expenses low and yeah in vegas yeah you
get good comps so like we're here for a week and a different casino is paying for our our hotel
that's a way to do it man because if you had to pay for those be 300 a night so yeah yeah exactly
some of them are like crazy right yeah 300 a night, it would be $300 a night. Yeah, exactly. Some of them are crazy, right?
Yeah, $300 a night times six people, that's $1,800 a night.
Plus meals, they comp those sometimes.
Yeah, the comps here, especially in Vegas, are good.
Really good, man.
Do you have a favorite city or country to gamble in?
Yeah, that's a good question.
So going country by country, there's so many differences um as far as
favorite cities in america i'll talk about yeah so favorite i like uh i like san diego a lot okay
san diego sweet denver denver miami i had a ton of fun in miami um and then i love vegas as well
nice but yeah yeah it's what i love is experiencing the good and the bad, right?
So like half the fun of the job is like you're coming through like this crazy little town.
And it's just like, wow, this is different, right?
So that's fun too.
Yeah.
But then, yeah, as far as like some of my favorite places to play, yeah, I love Florida.
California is great.
Nevada, I would say are top three.
Have you ever gambled on a cruise?
No, but a member of my team actually has.
For the most part, for what we're looking for,
they're not amazing.
But yeah, I had a teammate do it.
And the problem is, is if you get backed off,
you might be stuck on this thing for another six hours, right?
That's what I mean.
That's why I asked that.
But yeah, he just did it for the fun of it.
And yeah, it was actually decent.
Wow.
Yeah, I'm going on one in August,
but I don't want to get kicked off the ship, man.
That's funny.
Have you gambled in other countries at all?
Asia or anything?
Not Asia.
So we will be doing UK for the first time this year.
And then we are also, so we're from Canada.
Yeah.
So we started in Canada.
You can gamble at 18.
Oh, wow.
So I was gambling.
I started at like 19.
Nice. The gambling experience there is completely different um how so so like here in vegas right it's like you like pull out your phone at a table and it's just like everyone's
like whoa right like no phones at the table it's like very um there's a ton of laws right
it's all like due to prevent cheating or prevent any corruption like that.
Right.
As far as back home,
it is just like a lawless gambling atmosphere.
So you could be like sitting at the table and sure.
A lot of them are going to have the same rules,
but for the most part,
it's like you could be on your phone doing whatever.
It's just,
yeah,
it's so different that there's just like no rules.
It's more lax.
In comparison to here.
Interesting.
Yeah. I didn't know that. Those Canadians are more more laid back huh well at least where i am yeah so i'm in i'm in alberta and uh yeah it's kind of like the the
texas of america they call it yeah so so yeah they're chill there yeah you could drink at 18
there too yeah i remember going to montreal when i was 18 right yeah montreal sweet yeah when you're
that age that's the spot to be for sure.
Montreal, Toronto.
Do you drink?
People are beautiful there.
Oh yeah?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't remember much.
Beautiful people.
How old were you when you went there?
I was 18.
Yeah.
Cause you have to be 21 here.
Right.
So we drove there from Jersey.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That was a fun trip.
Montreal was a good time.
Do you drink on the job?
For the most part, no, especially if I'm going to be driving
like stop to stop. But, uh, so some things I've picked up, so I'm walking up to a table, right?
And like, if I walk past just like an empty beer bottle there, I might just grab it and have it in
my hand so that I'm walking up to the table with the drink. And then when the server comes up,
I'll pass her that drink, order another one one and then just be specific when you're taking
the drink so just like anytime like the the dealers may or the pit boss right if you have
some heat like you're just drinking right yeah just to add that hopefully it helps right you
just look interesting just look drunk so you're playing a mental game yeah yeah if i'm gonna be
drinking it's because i want to last longer not because i want to get drunk wow yeah you're
playing chess out here when you're when you're, like this is my work, right? So when we're at the casino, we're focused
on gaining hours and making money from them. Right. Yeah. We're definitely not there to,
I mean, if you can have fun in the process, like, and we do often, yeah, that's great.
But yeah, this is how we like pay the bills. I love that. Where can people learn from your
course and teaching? Yeah. Good question. So I learned from Blackjack Apprenticeship.
