OT patron, nice story on blackjack. I enjoyed it. It reminds me of the story in Beat The Dealer (by Edward Thorp, one of the first counters) of how he and a friend were in the Caribbean before counters were known. in addition to counting the one deck, they kept track of the number of aces dealt by the place their foot was on the stool. His friend had two tens and there was one card left. He knew the one card left was an ace. His friend doubled his bet and wanted one card to double down. The dealer thought he was crazy and tried to talk him out of it. When he insisted, the dealer called over the pit boss. He again insisted, and the pit boss told the dealer to flip the card. Astonished, they paid him, then escorted the pair out of the casino. ork (a recreational counter)
