Holiday coming up.

As the summer Holidays is fast approaching, i have started the plans for the last game tour before Holiday. It will be in the eastern regions and my scout has found a few "somethings" for me. So time will tell what his reward will be this time. He works on "commission" so to speak. A smaller reward for the finding and a little bigger reward for how much i can get out of the casino. Im currently working on the ROR from from the data i got from him, but it looks as it will be worth travelling for. My next, next tour will be in July unless something extraodinary comes up.

Play in the summertime is a pain, gotta say, this is an autumn and winter business. I like the summer and the weather and prefer to be in the open. Monte Carlo has a nice open casino during the summer, unfortunately they just closed it down for the year the last time i was there. My girlfriend is just back from Nice and got a nice tan, where as im all pale and disgusting. Im not sure she will join me on the game tour this time, but i will probably survive anyway. I should probably have joined her in Nice and trained my French, but business was hectic and i couldn`t get away as we had just landed a new contract.

Anyway it will soon be my turn.

Surveillance.







As an AP`r surveillance is one of the biggest concerns. Here is a small article i snatched from the net.

Stephen Baker on April 15
I had the privilege last week of visiting a surveillance room of a major casino in Las Vegas. (Not allowed to say which) They have banks and banks of TV screens looking at the tables and the traffic of people. They have fixed cameras over every table, and tracking cameras operating within what look like black cantaloupe-sized half domes on the ceilings. They showed me how they could track one man as he wandered through the casino to the hotel registration.
At one point, they were told from the floor to study the behavior of one woman at a blackjack table. They zoomed in on her. We watched the hands she was playing. We watched her take sips from her drink and laugh with her friends. While one person watched her live, another went back and watched on another monitor every move she’d made at the table. Then he saw it. She had her cards, a black jack, and with one quick movement she upped her bet by adding another $5 chip. We watched
again and again in slow motion.
At this point, they had concrete evidence that she had broken the law. A discussion ensued. Was she a pro? Was she drunk? Was it possible that she didn’t know the rules? They decided she was no pro. Still, they sent a security person [Correction: pit supervisor] to talk to her as she was leaving the table. We watched. She was surprised, confused, then grave. Then he said something that put her at ease. She relaxed, smiled, joked, and then went along her tipsy way.
These casinos are giving us a preview of life in the coming age of surveillance. Increasingly our movements and gestures, online and off, will be open to scrutiny by companies and governments alike. It will be up to them to decide what to crack down on, what to let pass. In making these decisions, they’ll be weighing not only our innocence or guilt, but also our happiness as customers, our ability to stir up a fuss, the cost of the public perception that they’re snoops. The upshot: We won’t have much privacy, but crafty governments and companies will give us the illusion we do.




Now, usually a wheelwatcher aren`t doing anything illegal. But knowing that they watch us that close and they can rewind any tape, replay any bet made, measure the timing at where the bet is placed etc. etc. can send shivers down most ap`s spines. Casinos have used facial recognition technology for years as part of their never-ending quest to identify and catch cheaters. Three of Atlantic City's 12 casinos -- Trump Marina, Trump Taj Mahal and Trump Plaza -- use it as part of their casino surveillance units."It's a tool for us to identify people who could possibly come in and take advantage of our casino," said Trump Marina surveillance director Charles Guenther.

After the Ritz incident, roulette surveillance has taken a whole new dimension and what is worse, made the casinos really aware of roulette ap`s.

This blog will be dedicated to advantageplay in general and Roulette in particular. Advantage play in Roulette can only be based on physics, so if anyone is looking for a "Roulette system" they will be disapointed. Wheelwatching and bias play is the basis of advantage play, but the modus operandi will not be revealed here. Maybe a glimpse here and there but thats all. My uncut opinion on some of the forum whizz kids and internet heros will also be put in writing.





So enjoy........................................
