Imagine going to a casino and start teaching basic blackjack strategy to a random guy that happens to be one of the masterminds in a series about blackjack 🤣 big up to the old man
@@stevenbridgesHey amazing content as usual! ❤ I was thinking while you were talking about irish's acting as a mean rich guy, don't you think that it could be helpful to kinda act like there is soft altercations between you and Irish, and good friendlyness between Irish and some of the other spotters like you ? It Just feels like if you all act differently towards each other, it might be tougher for casino's to spot you guys, as there is a new element of acting and some pattern inconsistency ? Anyway i love what you guys do and can't wait for next weeks episode!!!
@Willy D I agree mate just needs a skateboard now 😅 another comparison before he shaved off all his beard he looked like shaggy from Scooby-Doo when he had goatee beard lol 😅😊
Thank you for the support! So many people watching the videos means we can afford to spend a lot of time on the edit and that leads to better videos 😃 so thank YOU
I used to think, "counting cards...that's something I'm sure I could do". After watching this series, and the last, I am absolutely positive that there is no way in hell I could do that. Thanks for killing my dreams, Steven. Seriously though, great video, and thank you!
Just finished my work night (as a tables supervisor at a smaller casino) so pumped for this series, only had a handful of card counters that I have personally seen as work in tiny casino in Australia.
Aren't most blackjack table rules in Australia total ass? I've never been there, but I've just heard there's like...push on 22 on non-gimmick games at some places.
@@stevenbridges I haven't come across any big teams as we only have 3 tables with manual shoes. Have had some counters but most end up being only able to play minimum on blackjack style games once being suspected of card counting. Haven't met a rude counter though yet, think all of us except the managers love the idea of dealing to a card counter.
@@MewtwoStruckBack the bigger casino's have this blacjack style such as "blackjack challenge" which is absurd! As I work in small casino we only have normal blackjack no stupid extra rules
@@quintinbudd4537 What's the general ruleset where you're at? 3:2 is expected, but S17? Doubling after split? Splitting rules? Splitting aces? Double on any two? Surrender?
The first casino is one my mum brought me to at least twice a month as a child with my brother who recently committed suicide. She MIGHT have had a gambling problem, but in the early 00’s we were left in the game room attended by the staff as they knew us well. When I saw the ceilings, I instantly screamed. I’ve been watching you for a while and to see you in a casino I spent so much time in as a child with my brother was one of the most wholesome feelings. God bless you sir for putting a smile on me face tonight. Much love xox
@@fangsss I checked with him and he was fine with it but thank you for flagging that up. Joe is one of the most chill members of the team re the stuff.
Great to see these videos pop up again Steven, I hope this series continues! Wishing you the best of the luck on your card counting journey, Let's hope you last.
8:40 I know that dealer man. He's one of the best over at Mohegan. I think his name is Lu. Was my dealer on new years Eve two years ago when I was full time. Casino of the sky, 2 hands of 150, made like $1800 that night. Lost $1k the night before after getting bad variance and running into my ex girlfriend and her new boyfriend at Mohegan. That year was wild dude. God, the nostalgia. I miss this line of work.
Hey, just wanted to say as someone who's never even played blackjack I am really, really into these videos since seeing you on NRB lately. Just, felt like I should say. This is super entertaining, even for someone who's so far removed from gambling really.
Just such an incredible series, It's ready for its own full production run! Your precise storytelling never ceases to amaze me, even with events that happened almost a full year ago!
You should consider starting to put solid black boxes over the identity of your team. There's some emerging technologies that actually allow blurred out sections of video/photo be digitally reversed to bring back the original format. Just a little recommendation from going forward with these solid videos.
I just wanted to pop in to say that your videos are truly amazing! We get to follow a group of mysterious heroes led by a TH-cam legend on their epic quest to relieve casinos of their dishonorably acquired booty.. heroes, villains and a continuing story line..thank you,keep killing it.
I never realized how many rules and correct ways to hit, stand etc. I was a beginner BJ player playing drunk in Vegas, apparently I sat at “3rd base” or whatever the f’ you call the last player before dealer. So I’m randomly hitting on 12, 13, etc apparently not following “basic strategy” and all these old dudes at the table are cursing, throwing down their cards in disgust, giving me evil eyes lol I’m sitting there drinking my Heineken with my baseball cap on backwards and flip flops looking around like “what’s up guys, everyone having a good time!?!?” 😆♠️♥️♣️
Hi Steven, awesome to watch you play on my home turf. I cant speak for foxwoods but mohegan has pits on the weekdays that are $50 min bet with better rules. 6 deck instead of 8 and dealer stands on S17. Max bet is also 6k instead of 1k. Keep up the good work!
Love these vids man They inspired me to give card counting a go, and after recently mastering basic strategy and getting consistent with running count with like 2 deviations, I've been slowly building some positive ev and profits at the red chip tables at my local casinos
Ohhh boy, I'm so stoked to see this being aired again! Definitely one of the BEST series on TH-cam - Recommending it to my friends again 🙏🙏 Can't wait for the next episode! :DD
I have ADHD so I usually struggle to focus on a video without alt-tabbing/doing other stuff, but Steven's content is so good that I'm just glued to the screen for the entire duration, wishing the video wouldn't end.
your videos are so entertaining and interesting to watch, it’s things not everyday people can do so i feel as though i’m experiencing it through you , wish they was longer ! ❤
@@stevenbridges it definitely does, i get my snacks ready when i get a notification you’ve posted, that hidden camera really makes these videos amazing
Not illegal. If they do civil forfeiture you just need to prove you won it gambling. Since they record everything it should be an easy, albeit long process to get it back
The snapshot of joe makes me wonder if casino's would go as far as comparing tattoo's to try and get around blurred faces, like having both your forearms tattood can be a pretty good clue to link people together
Funny to see Mohegan and Foxwoods on the channel. I know both spots like the back of my hand. You guys did much better than me though!! Keep it up guys!
I’ve started counting cards 4 months ago and I’ve been up and down but I’m overall up at the moment and your videos have given motivation to keep going
Great video! Just by coincidence I got into the series yesterday, binged the entire thing just for a new video to come out today! I think keeping the mustache would've been an even better disguise though. You looked like a completely different bloke.
0:23 Mohegan Sun!!!! Aaahhhh! Steven! That's such a great casino for low bank roll AP's. So glad you got the chance to play there. Made most of my money there when I was full time! They respect AP's there and wont sweat you unless you go over 500 max spread. Got so many hours there.
@@tomf5823Yeah, but they largely left me alone. I clocked hundreds of hours there before they finally restricted my play. At a couple of points they even complimented me on it which was a nice feeling. As long as you keep the spread low in my experience, they'll let it go for awhile. They weren't rude about it either. Had some really nasty, unnecessarily tense backoffs in my time, they are probably the only casino that still has my respect.
Awesome video! Particulary the face you visited my area. There are several casinos within 2 hours of each other in New England... but the two he hit are the closest within like 20 minutes of each other.
Can you talk a little bit about the financial aspect behind this. For example how do the investors pay taxes on profits from their investments? Are payouts taken personally or through LLCs? Etc… It would be really interesting. Theoretically with the returns you’re generating you could launch a blackjack fund. Train new players. Have multiple teams running in multiple areas simultaneously with bankroll. Etc… With today’s rates your returns on a percentage basis are outperforming real estate and equity investing on average.
Man these are so cool. I used your link to buy a subscription to Nebula just so I didn’t have to wait for the next episode to come to TH-cam. Please keep making content! I look forward to these more than any other channel.
Imagine going to a casino and start teaching basic blackjack strategy to a random guy that happens to be one of the masterminds in a series about blackjack 🤣 big up to the old man
It's so cringey when people tell others how to play...90% of the time people who educate others are dead wrong
@@fauge7also cringe that he didn't know how to count lol
@@fauge7 bro there's nothing cringe about helping others.. obviously in this video it is kinda cringe but im sure the guys intentions were good
Probably a mastermind security officer under deep cover.
big up = fail then yes
these episodes are so elite to watch
Thank you Ben!
@@stevenbridges did you ever take editing courses or anything, your vids have always been great

So sick
Its honestly phenominal to watch casinos get whats coming to them; a player thats playing on a fair playing ground for once. Amazing work steve!
Steven went from a man who looks like he’s in his 30’s to the local teenage hipster real quick😂
This is accurate 😂
Facts
I know a 19 year old who looked near identical to him but accent is very different of course
@Willy D I agree mate just needs a skateboard now 😅 another comparison before he shaved off all his beard he looked like shaggy from Scooby-Doo when he had goatee beard lol 😅😊
@Lemons you can be his stunt double or cover man should he have to disappear fast lol 😅
I love this series. So dang good. Keep taking those casinos for a ride, and thanks for bringing us along. Excited for the next one!!

Seriously though, great video, and thank you!
Hahah sorry mate. It’s a very emotionally taxing thing
The math is the easy part, it's the emotional rollercoaster and acting that makes it hard.
It’s much easier to beat drunk gamblers at hold ‘em. This is better if you can. That’s a big if.
@@andrewstradley8365favorite thing is seeing someone lairy at the poker table 🤣
I don't even understand the rules of blackjack.
Just finished my work night (as a tables supervisor at a smaller casino) so pumped for this series, only had a handful of card counters that I have personally seen as work in tiny casino in Australia.
Oh nice! Yeah I heard Aus had a big card counting team hit a few years back and since then the blackjack games have been very hard to get time in at.
Aren't most blackjack table rules in Australia total ass? I've never been there, but I've just heard there's like...push on 22 on non-gimmick games at some places.

11:40 clearly shows the casino but y’all this casino is one of the most eye appealing on the east coast of the US. Definitely worth a visit.
@@sarahtasker2207 the only appealing part of living in CT lol
Do you like the disguise? 😂 😂 😂
Chaps, do me a solid will ya, go give me a follow on twitter, instagram, or threads - @StevenBridges
:D
:D
you look hot.
Yo Steven, I'd advise doing a bit more blurring, Joe's tattoos could be easily identified!! Be careful my man !!
@@fangsss I checked with him and he was fine with it but thank you for flagging that up. Joe is one of the most chill members of the team re the stuff.
This is the only series where I drop what I'm doing so I can watch right away. Irish is a real one.
This is an elite series. Hands down one of the best documentary style productions ever made.
It would be funny if the guy with the codename "Joe" was actually called Joe
Creative codename 😂
Last name “mama”
It’s clearly a yo mama joke 😂
Reverse Psychology
Who’s Joe?
that disguise is hysterical, definitely gotta ask the dealer if they have IPAs on tap
This is some of the most enjoyable content on TH-cam man. I remember watching your magic several years ago, and this card counting is next level.
Great to see these videos pop up again Steven, I hope this series continues!
Wishing you the best of the luck on your card counting journey, Let's hope you last.
Thank you Han! Hope you like it 😃
@@stevenbridgesIs gambling a full time job for you?
@@AyoClash TH-cam/Gambling
Amazing content as always! The way your chips were not stacked at all on the first table has me crying 😂
Hahaha yeah it looks less card countery
@@stevenbridges I'm curious if you guys are using the slot machine tickets as cover too
Steven is the gift that keeps on giving. Every time I stop training, sure enough, a new video on this channel pops up😄
Idk what makes this so addictive and enjoyable to watch but this series is top notch. Always look forward to the next episode :)
Thank you very much!
binged your whole card counting series last weekend. Love it! Looking forward to the ever-more-elaborate disguises in future episodes :D
I fucking love Irish
I asked my wife just now.. 'watch card counting?' She said.. 'hell yeah!'. We love this shit 🤣
Hahaha thank you!

You went from looking 30 with a wife, kids, and a stable job at a office to looking like a 20 year old who works at Pizza Hut lol
Lmao with the shave and the hat Steve looks like where’s Waldo
Love your card counting adventures! Thanks for bringing us along
This videos are amazing. Incredible content, love seeing this series.
Glad you enjoy them! 😃
the pilot giving the time of nyc so ppl can change their watches is REAL. bless homie 🙏🙏

The Connecticut casinos are really nice, but you’re right the layouts can be confusing. Glad that you made some money
Thank you for doing something we can only dream of trying. Great series.
Thank you much for watching!
I really enjoy Irish , hes a smooth talker and a real character.
Your quality of video making and story telling is on an other level!

Thank you so much 😃

Should avoid showing people's tattoos or other distinguished features too. We can clearly see Joe's tattoos at 1:05
Its always a good day when Steven posts

This series is so entertaining, it’s like watching Oceans 11 take down casino’s
The funniest part is that nothing can be done unless they catch him doing it live.
Nobody does videos like this. Next level!
respect to your teammates for being willing to play with probably the biggest name in professional blackjack
Man um glad your back. I hope your success continues
The way my heart beats watching these vids… feel like I’m in the casino 😂 keep it coming!
This feels like a heist movie😂😂😂
This whole series is phenomenal. So interesting. I bet you didn't think you'd be this deep when you undertook learning to count!
Hi Steven, awesome to watch you play on my home turf. I cant speak for foxwoods but mohegan has pits on the weekdays that are $50 min bet with better rules. 6 deck instead of 8 and dealer stands on S17. Max bet is also 6k instead of 1k. Keep up the good work!

Two videos in fairly quick succession. Thank you!
Next one in two weeks 😃
@@stevenbridges loving this series. Joined Nebula because of your channel. Keep up the good work!
We need part 2 ASAP and I’m curious about how everyone splits the money including the investors
50% investors 50% players. After expenses.

Glad you think so! 😃

Old timer at 15:00 was trying to do the Lord's work 😂
This seems like such hard work. Card counting definitely isn’t easy money.
I see that you came to del lago next episode, my home casino. First casino of many I was trespassed from in May 2022. Excited!
your videos are so entertaining and interesting to watch, it’s things not everyday people can do so i feel as though i’m experiencing it through you , wish they was longer ! ❤

Steven “geek squad” bridges out on a misson.
Code name : liberty

you know it!
You guys gotta find another way to move your cash. Police in the US WILL take it if found.
Not illegal. If they do civil forfeiture you just need to prove you won it gambling. Since they record everything it should be an easy, albeit long process to get it back
I'm ready to see my man back doing some I.D. Dancing!!!!!
It is wild seeing you guys playing in a casino so close to my home town. Great watch as always!
Was that Mohegan?
@@jayjang7273 Yep.

It's a rollercoaster! Lots of emotions good and bad!
Funny to see Mohegan and Foxwoods on the channel. I know both spots like the back of my hand. You guys did much better than me though!! Keep it up guys!
stumbled across your videos, watched 2 or 3 of em on yt and then suddenly he tells me he is on nebula too! 😂 Great stuff
I’ve started counting cards 4 months ago and I’ve been up and down but I’m overall up at the moment and your videos have given motivation to keep going
Make sure your game is perfect :)
I’ve been trying to learn but have no one to practice with if u ever want to lmk!
Every so often, the TH-cam algorithm brings me the most BANGER content.
Time to binge watch your whole catalogue.
Love the story telling!
I just don’t understand how you don’t have 1m+ subs this content is top tier!
He did it, my man shaved his beard to play and had to wear a disguise. What a legend, absolutely love the video. Keep it up!!
I can't get enough of your videos. Your channel is golden.
Thank you so much
Had to drop a like for the beard shave! Looks like you’re 21 again LOL 👍🏼😂
Great video! Just by coincidence I got into the series yesterday, binged the entire thing just for a new video to come out today!
I think keeping the mustache would've been an even better disguise though. You looked like a completely different bloke.
This is the pinnacle of a heist movie script
Amazing!! A new episode. So excited for this one!!!
so classy having a drunk guy sit down and tell a card counting magician how to play
Good for you guys hope you get as much as you can
THE BEST SERIES! I know I literally comment this on every video but its not a joke. Love what you do, please keep it up
And every comment I appreciate!
I'll wait years for an update to this series every episode is amazing.
Thank you mate! It’s hard to make them regularly but hopefully it’s a quality over quantity thing
This series is so high quality man wtf
This channel the sequel to movie 21 that we never asked for but thankful it was created 😂

Ah that’s good to know! I can do more. Potentially some interviews with team mates?
My favorite series on YT back for another one! Lets goooo
It’s like you’re living in a oceans movie just not stealing. Awesome!
They were playing in the Mohegun Sun and Foxwoods casino resort.
That first table certainly got the attention of the casino worker/ security lurking just in the background !
Yes it's here!!!
Love watching this series on nebula but have to support on yt as well!
