This comment is so true, steven if you see this I love the series don't let the issues involved with you being an internet personality stop you from making such great videos for us all, look forward to the next part :)))
He nailed it. Everyone knows what's going on, and they're lying and playing a little game of acting, so why not play it back? That's a proper sense of humour there.
Some feedback: The graphics showing the cards on screen was genius. It really adds a layer of captivation to the content. I also liked how well edited and fun to watch the travel montage was. All in all it looks like the quality of the videos is going up.
Thanks so much! That's great to know about the cards! Sometimes I don't get a good table shot but I do what the visuals of the hands. I'm glad that it works. Yeah Jack Howard is the editor. He is fantastic and I'm lucky to work with him. It's actually incredibly rare he presents me with an idea that I don't love. I think we share a similar sense of humour which helps too.
@stevenbridges Seriously...that disguise was MUCH better than the last one and great job at working on your American accent! Impressive you played as long as you did before getting backed off. Looking forward to reading why I shouldn't learn card counting. I think it is just the thing I need!😂🤣 Really!
Working in a casino 40 years ago I dealt to a few card counters, we were told to deal shorter shoes but I admired one more than most and he had no spotters, just a genius. I got tips from him and can now go on holiday, not go too big to stand out but cover the cost of the trip and a bit extra to take home.
After a lot of practice I could also spin a spread of 9 numbers on roulette 4 out of 5 times. Speed of wheel, release time. Helped my mates a bit but I promise I didn't buy a nice car.
Your channel is the only one I will stop what I’m doing and watch when a video is posted. You do such a great job at capturing and story telling in your videos I love it!
The only disappointment in these videos is the fact that Steven doesn't ask casino staff to like, subscribe and hit the notification button after they find out who he is
dude this video is amazing, they genuinely feel like heist movies. in my 10+ years in youtube i’ve never seen someone make videos as entertaining as yours.
Dude watching you do the American accent was surreal lol because as you were doing it I'm like "yeah sounds normal" but then you'd laugh and break back into normal British and I was like "weird also sounds normal", kudos for trying to go the extra mile, love your card counting series
I was a dealer for many years and know nearly everything their is to know about the game I can tell you I found it very hard to win when I played so I take my hat off to you.
"I'm just too bloody English." LOL "I don't think he's going to subscribe." 😂 Loved watching this, and congrats on being up so much after 1 session! What a boss team! 😊
The amount of preparation you've put into this. I'm impressed, full disguises and dialect coaches.... raising the bar. I'm looking forward to this series, I've said it once and I'll say it so many more times. It's so interesting to see the workings of a casino and the workings of card counters. As much as you uploading puts a big target on your back, I do appreciate what you make. Thank you.
The Gaming Control Act gives the Minister the power to declare any scheme to be cheating, but there doesn't seem to be any way of finding out what schemes have been declared cheating except by searching through issues of the Official Gazette, which is only available in print form... That seems problematic...
Fantastic episode. It's like a Mission Impossible movie every time you do one of these, but especially with this one. Upping your costume game and training for a fake accent, high risk, and still making it out with a sizeable profit.
Surely it’s getting to a point where having you on the team is a big risk. Like not even getting spotted for card counting. Keep up the disguises love the content!
THANK YOU STEVEN!! I have been checking your channel every week for a video… fun fact, I’ve seen your entire series of “Beat the odds” while eating noodles. So yes, I’m eating noodles right now!
Very few channels do I have notifications on for all videos but this is one of them. I have three kids so it takes me some time to get to watch some things but I am always excited when new videos get posted and cant wait to watch. Fantastic content.
Without a doubt one of the better if not the best series on the Tube. I just wish new videos came out more often. I do understand that it takes a lot of time to record and edit and then upload. A man can dream though!! Keep up the great work Steven.
As a wrestling fan, I most certainly approve of Stone Cold Steve Bridges. The only thing you were missing was a beer in each hand and giving two middle fingers to all the staff, albeit that might have got you backed off just a tad sooner...
Yessssssa. Watch like all your videos about 3 times waiting for the next we upload. Haven’t even watch yet and know it’s gonna be unreal. Love it lad!!!
Bloody awesome video Steven, was hoping you would have a new series coming up for end of year, so stoked! Can't wait to watch the rest of your trip to see how it went in the coming videos, wishing you luck mate
I got so excited when I saw this pop up in my feed. Everything about it is a 10/10. I know how hard it must be to create content, so when it does come through it feels like hitting a small jackpot. Keep up the good work!!
I'm on my work laptop and just seen a notification for this, i am about to take a lunch break to watch it on my TV, genuinely fascinating and very exciting to watch.
I think it's possible they ran back the video of y'all arriving together and that's how they knew who to round up. That was my first thought when I saw everyone in the same car headed onto the property. They have cameras all over.
i’m sat with a huge smile feeling like you guys played them at their own game and won, that trolling was the cherry on top! yet another banger, nice one mate keep it up 🤘🏽
That dialect teacher has an amazing American accent. I really thought she was from the U.S. to start. I can barely get it right and I've been here 39 years.
Actually the real crooks are the casinos that offer no playable blackjack games, such as continuously shuffled games and 6-5 blackjack with horrible deck penetration.
Awesome video, as always^^ That being said I fully expected your team to research the specific gambling laws before actually going there. Even if it doesn't do much harm I still wouldn't really like to give them my ID
So the info that we had basically was that there wasn't much legal recourse. So we'd planned to do whatever we needed to get the chips cashed. We also had info from other counters who had been backed off and could cash out successfully. So we weren't toooooo worried.
I appreciate the suspense you gave during the whole video by not saying if you guys were up or down at a certain time until the end of the video. I was genuinely just as happy as you guys were when i heard $30k
Did you guys research the gaming laws in the Bahamas? It seems like a risk to go and count cards without knowing whether you'd be required to show ID in order to cash out 😬
It never ceases to amaze me how good security is at sniffing them out. I know watching this we often see them as the bad guys (and sometimes they really are) but when they catch them I'm always like HOW?!?! Steven and his team are professionals and are extremely good at discreetly counting cards and making signals yet they rarely walk out of a casino without a back-off. Gotta hand it to security!
not really. casino surveillance overall is actually pretty incompetent. they just err on the side of being overly paranoid and end up kicking out tons of people who are losing gambler's long term. basically cutting their nose to spite their face. they even had this guys ID out of the gate who was betting big so it made it way easier.
In this day and age, with HD cameras and trained counters in surveillance it doesn't take that long to identify a counter. Only slightly longer to identify a team.
All modern casinos know the count on all tables at all times, since the cards are tagged. After that, it is just statistical matching of player pattern, there does not even need to be a counter in the pit, as the software does it for them and flashes the players. They do it for all games, not just BJ, so they can detect collusions and such.
I do VO and am really into linguistics. I could watch a whole series of you learning accents. I haven't even gotten to the games yet, but this is definitely the episode I'll use to show friends your stuff. Side-note, have you ever addressed tipping dealers? Idk the etiquette there. 99% of my games have been online.
Lol at 0:45 I recognize the views along the drive from Nassau airport and over the bridge to Paradise Island towards the Atlantis resort from my own vacation. I suppose it’s the extent of most tourists’ experience in the Bahamas!
I got told at the peppermill in Reno that I’m not allowed to ever play blackjack there after my first shoe 😂 that was my very first time ever stepping foot on their property
It's so weird. I was driving in my car today thinking I haven't seen a Steven Bridges video in ages i have a look and the videos only been out a few hours
Just an idea. What if you gathered like 30 card counters that are known by casinos and each get an X amount on money to use and see how long it takes the casino to catch everyone. Im sure that it would be very enjoyable to watch.
when you said irish was messing with them, reminded me of what my friend did when he got in trouble with gaming people like this at a casino. hes fluent in hebrew and he just started speaking in hebrew and broken english. people got so annoyed they ended up just letting him cash out without id. may want to look into learning a random language you know many people at casinos wont speak
Just so you’re aware, security/casino personnel like to test their staff and occasionally will plant and bankroll counters to see if everyone is either doing their job and to weed out corruption. Initial bankrolled investment must be returned but any winnings can be kept. Inversely, losses are also just the cost of doing business
Every time a new video comes up I click so fast. Its always well put together, interesting, and inspiring that some day I will finally be good enough to card count myself. Never stop making these types of videos!
American accents are hard guys... 😂
😂 just curse every 3rd word
Least you didn’t start talking like John Wayne!
Ahhh, maaan. Yooouu shoullldd go fur a suthern (US) accent. It's eeezy.
Can we get a hint on where strike will visit next in this series?
Didn't fool me one bit. Looking forward to seeing myself in the Vegas episode!
This series is the only series I will be genuinely hyped when a new episode comes out. Everything about it is incredible.
Thank you! Comments like this are really motivating!

@@stevenbridgesshame there’s only 1 every 2 months 😢 - pls do more
Irish is a legend. I was worried about him in the last series, but watching him mess with casino security is a moment to remember.
I'll pass this on 🙂
He nailed it. Everyone knows what's going on, and they're lying and playing a little game of acting, so why not play it back? That's a proper sense of humour there.
Why is he called Irish when he is Scottish? 😉

That's great. Making connections and profiting. Hopefully you gave some info to him too.

Thank you so much! Honestly comments like this make my day
just watched on nebula, Irish trolling the staff had me pausing to laugh hysterically, what an absolute legend honestly
hahha he's the best! It went on for so long as well! You should see what he gets up to when we change region
@@stevenbridges wait you're on nebula? How did I not know! Definitely gonna start following you over there.
The only disappointment in these videos is the fact that Steven doesn't ask casino staff to like, subscribe and hit the notification button after they find out who he is
😂😂
🤣 he shouldve do that !
I have the bell on for very very few channels. This one totally deserves it.
Same 😊
Honestly that really means a lot! We really want to make the best videos we can so comments like that really show us we're doing alright
Same here
I have the bell on for way too many channels. When I finally go to clean them out, this one is totally staying.
@@stevenbridgeswhen is the next upload
dude this video is amazing, they genuinely feel like heist movies. in my 10+ years in youtube i’ve never seen someone make videos as entertaining as yours.
Irish messing with the security had me crying. Can't wait for the next part love these series so much
Dude watching you do the American accent was surreal lol because as you were doing it I'm like "yeah sounds normal" but then you'd laugh and break back into normal British and I was like "weird also sounds normal", kudos for trying to go the extra mile, love your card counting series
Hahahah yeah the amount of times when watching the footage I’ve realised I totally drop the accent without realising
I was a dealer for many years and know nearly everything their is to know about the game I can tell you I found it very hard to win when I played so I take my hat off to you.
Thank you Kate!
One of the most underrated creators.
I love watching casinos lose money, +30k to the good guys !
Thanks Juice!

Well I'm amazed that I've been doing this for a couple years on TH-cam and still seem to be able to play. So very grateful for that. Thank you 🙂
The Bahamas government actually claims card counting is illegal so that backoff was quite the stressful situation.
The Gaming Control Act gives the Minister the power to declare any scheme to be cheating, but there doesn't seem to be any way of finding out what schemes have been declared cheating except by searching through issues of the Official Gazette, which is only available in print form... That seems problematic...
16:36 Got ‘emmmm!!! Literally cheered out loud when he said the number
New series = I know what I'm watching on my lunch break over the next two weeks. Excited to see how it progresses.
Not sure exactly when the next ep is out, probably the week after next. Bear with me 🙂
Hey Steven it's always a good day when you upload
Thank you Sid! Hope you enjoy it
IVE BEEN BINGING ALL THE OLD VIDEOS WAITING FOR ANOTHER ONE!! Please keep doing these steven! This is my favorite series on TH-cam

We track hours and I still get more hours than most of the team
Love how you out the sponsors in the end. It is the little things that make your channel great.
THANK YOU STEVEN!! I have been checking your channel every week for a video… fun fact, I’ve seen your entire series of “Beat the odds” while eating noodles. So yes, I’m eating noodles right now!

Maybe don't pull up to the casino in the same car? I feel like you can get away with alot more if everyone shows up separately.

Just got into counting and watched all your vids. Pretty cool you posted a day after I watched them all, no coincidence
I don’t know what’s better…Irish’s celebrations or him trolling security, or him playing 4 spots at Mohegan😂
That dialect teacher has an amazing American accent. I really thought she was from the U.S. to start. I can barely get it right and I've been here 39 years.
I love it when the counters beat the crooks
:D
Actually the real crooks are the casinos that offer no playable blackjack games, such as continuously shuffled games and 6-5 blackjack with horrible deck penetration.
It's amazing how they care so passionately about *the ORGANIZATION'S MONEY* 🤣
That casino rinsed me on the blackjack tables 😩
Video has some funky music that’s for sure. Top notch production

These videos are epic! Suprised you can still make them! Being the most famous casino celeb there is!
hahah I am surprised
You FUGGIN LADS!! I GENUINELY JUMPED UP AND DOWN AT HEARING THE 30,2. HELL YEAH!
Great stuff. I have been practicing for the last couple of months. Just have to get to the casino soon to try it out.
the accent bit the comedy of that is what deserved a like from me not even got to the juicy stuff yet.
Thanks so much, Mr Bridges! What a riot. Irish seems like such a fun character to have on tour, what a legend.
Checking TH-cam and seeing that you've uploaded always makes my day!
I was waiting for you to check
Irish once again up to his cheekiness :)
Irish is hilarious. He just kept plowing on about how he can afford it. Hahahaha
Waited for this video for two months
You'll soon need an excel to keep track of all the Casino's you've been trespassed from 😆. Loving your videos.
hahah I surprisingly haven't had many trespasses.
Hahah I’ve been dying to see this video since you posted on your story!
Thank you for showing the hands, definitely puts the game into perspective more.
No problem!
This has been a fantastic series so far, love it!
It's so weird. I was driving in my car today thinking I haven't seen a Steven Bridges video in ages i have a look and the videos only been out a few hours
I was waiting for you
omg the first disguise is amazing already!
You are literally my inspiration and living my life, i aspire to be like you one day
Crazy seeing the exact dealer and casino i played my first ever live blackjack at in this video!
Just an idea. What if you gathered like 30 card counters that are known by casinos and each get an X amount on money to use and see how long it takes the casino to catch everyone. Im sure that it would be very enjoyable to watch.
When the guy said that you make TH-cam videos I was waiting for you to say in the moment "Oh, thats true, don't forget to subscribe" hahahahahahaha
