Countermeasures
The
dealer realized my predicament, looked me in the eyes, and shrugged.
I put out a bet for the dealer to show him that it was nothing personal
between us.
With
the new round starting, I made another $50 bet. I won it, and the
deck became favorable. I kept the $50 bet going. It stayed favorable
for four hands, with the $50 bet remaining, then became unfavorable.
I raised my bet to $100. The deck was now terrible for me, but the
dealer obligingly shuffled up.
My
new bet was now $100. I kept this bet constant so long as the deck
was neutral or favorable. When it was unfavorable, I raised it and
had the cards shuffled up. So now I had a perfect situation, playing
only with a favorable or neutral deck. I started to win some heavy
money as a result.
Meanwhile
the floorman conferred with another floorman, both watching my play.
What could they do? I was making constant bets, and never was allowed
to raise my bet without the deck being shuffled.
How
could I be winning? So these wise men let me play on and on. After
about an hour I left with my pockets bulging with Dunes casino chips.
The last time I saw that floorman, he was no longer smirking.
