HELLO! Just wanna say, it feels great to be able to spend 6 months working on this series and still have an engaged audience! Thank you for waiting! 😃 I decided a while back I was only going to post videos I'm proud of and I felt like you'd all really like. So I hope it's been worth the wait! Replying to as many comments as possible over the next few days! Oh yeah, follow me on twitter before the whole company collapses: @StevenBridges And insta if you wanna see me post once every few months: @StevenBridges
Regarding the names priest spread and boxer spread: a priest holds his hands together in prayer. A boxer holds their hands apart in a fighting stance. A clever way to describe a small spread and a wider spread.
Priests stay under the radar & a Boxers knockout punch. But had they been switched it would have been fitting as well. Boxers going the distance & Priests like them young = short lived before the back off.
as a former dealer and pit boss who worked in Mississippi for most of my career, i can wholeheartedly say that as an impartial observer of how casinos around the country operate, the absolute last place in the US id pick for a card-counting tour would be Mississippi, and here's why: similar to vegas, working in casinos is just what people do there. however unsimilar to vegas, there's almost no great options available to people who would like to make more than minimum wage. the Mississippi economy is horrible, to put it mildly and workers there dont have many other options. their only option is to get good at their job, and hence most people take their job pretty seriously and end up being dealers, pit bosses, and shift bosses for the better part of their entire lives. in vegas, eventually people move away or move up in the company, or end up playing (and losing their paychecks) instead -- resulting in a high turnover rate, and a more green staff, generally speaking.
so what? It's the casino's money, not YOUR or your dealers friends money he's winning. Also remember that casinos ALWAYS win more from players than they lose, they wouldn't exist if it was the case. So why feel bad for it just because they employ you?
I was just in Mississippi! I experienced a pretty aggressive back off. I had only gotten to a true 2 when the heat started coming, so I left with my chips (only bc there were like 6 casinos within 10 minutes of me). I came back the next day on a different shift and the entire floor staff was looked at me. Every time I would make eye contact with any of them, they would awkwardly look away. I knew what was going on, so I turned around to walk out. As I was walking away, 2 gentlemen started following me. “Sir! Excuse me Sir! Can I see your ID?” Without even turning around, I declined and said I was leaving. The man continues to ask for my ID over and over as he follows me out. Eventually his friend exclaims, in a deep English accent “Let the f*****g c**t go” and says to me “You’re 86’d from the property, if you ever come back we’ll have you arrested!” I had my back turned, but I’m sure if I was looking at him I would have seen veins popping from his forehead and spit flying while he yelled. This was the nastiest back off I’ve had thus far in 200 hours of play, but I still found it very amusing. I also had the most pleasant back off in the same city. Shoutout to Will
I work at a casino on the gulf coast of Mississippi, would love to know the places you had these experiences at because I would be happy to tell you the casinos that have no clue what’s going on outside of a half mile radius and the ones who do.
I love the storytelling on these! You do a great job explaining what's going on to those who've never counted cards, and I find these videos super facinating!
Thank you so much! I spend a lot of time trying to make sure I get into the details without it being too much. I think people want to know the ins and outs, and not just the surface level stuff like you get in documentaries.
I am so happy to see another set of videos, I was able to mostly binge the previous series as I caught it right as it was finishing up. Waiting week to week is going to be painful!
I am a poker pro and i find these extremely entertaining, cant wait for more episodes. Unfortunate that your videos have made casinos aware and that it takes a lot of resource to produce these videos, would binge watch 15seasons no problem ❤
@@stevenbridges not as similar as you might think. Poker is yeah much harder because of many aspects would love to have a convo if youd like on this topic :) 🙏
@@stevenbridges poker can be amazing. I recommend you try it but to only start with online play as the players are so much more weak there you can get used to playing then try 1/2 at a real casino. be expected to lose there to regulars that will push you around. they are sharks at the game.
Like a true gambler - no problem to bet a couple hundred dollars a hand at Blackjack, but definitely not paying 250 for a 5 hour hotel room! 😅 Loving this channel
If I was part of his team, I would have said to just get the room. It's better to have a sharper mind than to play with such large quantities of money on an unfocused and tired brain. I was thinking this before he revealed how he did later on that day, and my intuition was right.
That really isnt a good comparison. Obviously he has learned to make the game work for him and to his advantage, thus he can make money off it. There is no return on an expensive room (that he couldnt get with a cheap room ie rest and regrouping)....he cant turn that overpriced room into a profit. Its money gone never to be seen. How is that "like a true gambler"? Its simple economics.
Happy you are back, Steven! A couple of questions: 1) When you show your personal graph, it goes through Day 6 (which matches the video narrative), but your Team Graph goes through Day 11. Why the difference in time range between the two graphs? 2) What accounts for the spike in EV between Day 5 and Day 6, and then a return to the previous EV rate? As always, LOVING your videos! Keep up the amazing work!!!
Great question! It's done based off sessions played not days. Although EV on our graphs is pretty rough, it takes into account the rules of the game as well as speed of the game. So a game with a fast dealer is better EV. And for my team mates, the games they were playing varied more.
I had a similar experience in AC some years ago. I was playing Baccarat with two men from Hong Kong at 3 a.m.. I was getting my butt handed to me and decided to call it a night. As I was getting larger chips to take to the cashier, one of the men from HK said " you stay, how much you down " I told him 500, he gave me 5 thousand dollars worth of chips. He said, "you play one hour more". I said sure why not. I continued to get my ass handed to me while the the two gentlemen from Hong Kong were winning every hand. I told the pit boss after the one hour was up, " how much much will you give me if I leave". The gentlemen from Hong Kong gave me 5k more to stay for another hour. I walked away with 8k. The two men from Hong Kong had stacks and stacks and stacks of chips. They were laughing each time I lost 50 bucks and they won 20k. I eventually had to call it a night because I had a busy work schedule in the late afternoon. I woke up in the morning to Dom Perignon, steak and eggs, fresh fruit and an invitation to play Baccarat with the men from Hong Kong.
Love your videos mate . After living in Vegas for 5 years and recently returned there . I love anyone who can beat the casinos . Well done and live the videos 👍
Wow what are the odds???? First video in 6 months that you have uploaded, and I was just binge watching your casino videos this morning at work. Thank you for the upload friend, I greatly enjoy your content, and I think that I speak on behalf of everybody when I say thank you so much for the hard work and dedication required to make all of the quality content that you have made and will (hopefully) continue to make. Godspeed, may you live long and fly high!
@@stevenbridges I do enjoy the content! Anybody can upload daily, it takes a special kind of person to create content worthy of being replayed! You have so much confidence, I don't think I would want to put myself in some of the situations you have been in and you always respond and react quite well with all things considered. Thank you so much for the reply, and I wish you the best!
Purely top notch content! A series that will have me wanting more every time. Congrats on the success of this series in advance, but unfortunately it will blow up your channel to a point you might not be able to play anywhere any more.
I agree. If I click on a playlist I can watch in order, but if they just show up in the you tube feed it’s hard to tell where you are in the storyline.
You're back! Yay! 😊 It's incredible to think how far you've come along since I first started watching your videos back in 2015. This card counting series is awesome! I was laughing when you were talking about that guy just handing out chips because I thought he's either generous for no reason, or he doesn't want to show id so he's getting rid of extra money to avoid being accused of structuring. And then you found yourself in that situation! 😛So happy to see you back at it! Love that this dropped the day before Thanksgiving here in the US. ❤💚
YAYYYYYYYYY! so so excited for this. Im sick right now and a bit bored so this is the perfect thing to see a notification for on my phone :) keep up the hard work steven
I just got back into blackjack and I checked your channel yesterday and was sad you hadn’t posted in awhile. Saw this in my recommended today and got very excited
Discovered the series a few months ago and was hooked. Watched it a few times from start to finish, shared with my family, and watched with them start to finish. I've been checking Twitter almost obsessively for updates and when the announcement dropped that today was the day, I got super excited. Only when I got this giant dumb grin on my face from seeing the thumbnail of the video in my sub feed did I realize I miiiight have a problem. It feels weird to call myself a "fan" of a Blackjack player, but I suppose I am. xD Anyway, the video lived up to the high expectations I set in my mind for it, and I really appreciated the commentary of the FUN HANDS around 11 minutes in. It's also a nice surprise to see you've picked up the expanded deviations! Thanks for putting together these videos! Can't wait for next week.
Thanks so much Kris! Haha yeah I know what you mean - it's been a weird realisation that I'm a professional 'show my life as a blackjack player' person. Yeah I now know that cheeky 8 v.s 3! And 8 v.s 2 (double at a true 15!) I'm yet to do do.
Wrong lol. It's always better to know the count and lose, than not know the count and keep trying to chase a win. The average gambler loses everything they own lol
@@AnonymousGameWarden Jesus read what he said..he means if a card counter goes down 8300 what chance do average players have against the casino... English isn't even my first language and I got it. ..
@@yanrenthungmurry7270 bro you need to enroll in a basic middle school English language course. You clearly don't know how to read. You magically can read this guy's mind and correct what he actually wrote? Lol cmon son
It's never about the actual results. It's about the expected results. Both for the counter and the casino. Fortunes change quickly in casino. Just because you highrolled into a win doing a suboptimal strategy doesn't mean you should keep doing it once you realize it's suboptimal. It's the same thing for the casino. Just because the counter struck out so far doesn't mean they won't make it up on the back end if you let them stay.
You should set it up as a calculus optimization problem and min/max the most optimal bet spread to the estimated per hour gains. If multivariate calculus is known, then one can use *Lagrange Multipliers.* The constraint surface should be the _expected value_ that corresponds to detection time; that is, the average detection time given the current betting method
Using card counting as a problem on a calculus test woud be interesting, either as a word problem to solve for probability distribution or as a "Give a real world application for calculus and give a generalized equation as an example". 🤓
You're brave. Back in my day, yes I said that. The AP community did their best not to have stuff like this out here in fear of longevity. Kudos to you to be brave enough to try and do this with OSN and griffin out there.
Oh man, this series is so great, but it gives me *so much* second hand anxiety. I’m absolutely fascinated by the concept of card counting though, so I’ll tough it out hahaha
He’s actually back, love your videos, inspired me to learn how to count cards myself, though idk how long it’s gonna last, just started on basic strategies
I thought you were all done with this series! So glad to see more videos XD I recently re-watched them all again. So thoroughly entertaining.... Aren't you ever worried though, now that your videos are so public, that casinos will just immediately recognize you?
Came out to Memphis, TN for a little getaway and shot over to the Southland Casino across the border in Arkansas. Within 6 shoes of double deck, I got backed off. Professional and polite yet frustrating as I was down about 28 units and getting some bad variance. Such is the life. Love your content, Steven. An inspiration.
Crazy to watch how your TH-cam career affects your Card Counting career- I've been binging your videos the past couple of days, and it's definitely gotten me interested in Card Counting professionally, even if I know the hard reality is that it'd be a huge investment in both time and money. I look forward to seeing how your journey progresses though, and who knows, maybe I really will start to learn Card Counting for fun and profit because of them, lol.
Congrats on somehow finding the unlisted link early 😂 Well I'm glad you understand the realities of doing it professionally. You'll get to see a lot in this season that'll really give you an idea of what it's like!
It was so awesome to see your new video. Thought won't see your videos ever again. I would like to say you have one of the best youtube series overall about your journey in playing blackjack. It was so interesting to watch your videos. Bless you man hope it's not the last seriesfrom you. Peace
I'm looking for people who have the experience with playing blackjack in China. Since the casino industry is massive over there. You guys ever tried counting there? @@stevenbridges
I lived in Louisiana for 5yrs. Very overated destination, including New Orleans, but it still has some things worth remembering. This Louisiana video made me reminisce and smile a little.
These are great videos, its amazing to see how it works and the trouble it causes - rather you than me! Looking forward to see how you get on this trip
I can’t wait to see your other videos in this series! By the way, casinos in Louisiana and Mississippi are known for their hostility toward advantage players and eagerness to send out flyers with your information to other casinos, so be careful there
@@stevenbridges I randomly found your channel one night and binged the whole thing. Waiting for new episodes is a curse but such a treat when you upload. Cheers!

As someone who’s never bet money in a casino it’s wild to me that they will kick you out when you have so far lost money to the house.
That's the ideal time as he will start winning it back the longer he stays on a table
It's never about the actual results. It's about the expected results. Both for the counter and the casino. Fortunes change quickly in casino. Just because you highrolled into a win doing a suboptimal strategy doesn't mean you should keep doing it once you realize it's suboptimal. It's the same thing for the casino. Just because the counter struck out so far doesn't mean they won't make it up on the back end if you let them stay.
Card counting, vtubing, HowToBasic: The three genres where being recognized in public is scary
You should set it up as a calculus optimization problem and min/max the most optimal bet spread to the estimated per hour gains. If multivariate calculus is known, then one can use *Lagrange Multipliers.* The constraint surface should be the _expected value_ that corresponds to detection time; that is, the average detection time given the current betting method
It would be better set up as a quantum physics problem
Using card counting as a problem on a calculus test woud be interesting, either as a word problem to solve for probability distribution or as a "Give a real world application for calculus and give a generalized equation as an example". 🤓
Im pretty sure that’s basically what the calculator he uses does.

@@stevenbridges I did, amazing as always. I'm looking forward to the next one.
So happy to see that you're back and also replying to everyone's comments! You're the man, dude
Thank you! I like replying to comments, and I really appreciate people like yourself, still caring enough to watch after 6 months AFK. 😃
You're brave. Back in my day, yes I said that. The AP community did their best not to have stuff like this out here in fear of longevity. Kudos to you to be brave enough to try and do this with OSN and griffin out there.
YES STEVEN so happy the series is back! yay!
Thanks so much Jacob! :)
@@stevenbridges :)
Oh man, this series is so great, but it gives me *so much* second hand anxiety. I’m absolutely fascinated by the concept of card counting though, so I’ll tough it out hahaha
Hahah sorry mate! I am alive and well so keep that in the back of your mind
YESSS!!! Ive been refreshing your channels page everyday for 6 months for a new video!!!
haha you should turn on notifications
He’s actually back, love your videos, inspired me to learn how to count cards myself, though idk how long it’s gonna last, just started on basic strategies
It's fun to learn! 😃 Thanks for the support!
That dealers pitch at 12:35 is fantastic. Very professional.
Mfs when they open casinos and find out people go there to make more money than when they came in with 😱😱😱
Great to see you back again! And another great video - I can't wait for this series. Thank yoouuu!
Thanks so much Ash! 😃
I thought you were all done with this series! So glad to see more videos XD I recently re-watched them all again. So thoroughly entertaining.... Aren't you ever worried though, now that your videos are so public, that casinos will just immediately recognize you?
Well this series will really touch upon how TH-cam has affecting my card counting career. Thank you! Glad you've enjoyed the vids so far
@@stevenbridges you respond fast! I look forward to the videos :D
Naughty TH-cam 😂
Came out to Memphis, TN for a little getaway and shot over to the Southland Casino across the border in Arkansas.
Within 6 shoes of double deck, I got backed off. Professional and polite yet frustrating as I was down about 28 units and getting some bad variance.
Such is the life.
Love your content, Steven. An inspiration.
Crazy to watch how your TH-cam career affects your Card Counting career- I've been binging your videos the past couple of days, and it's definitely gotten me interested in Card Counting professionally, even if I know the hard reality is that it'd be a huge investment in both time and money. I look forward to seeing how your journey progresses though, and who knows, maybe I really will start to learn Card Counting for fun and profit because of them, lol.
Congrats on somehow finding the unlisted link early 😂
Well I'm glad you understand the realities of doing it professionally. You'll get to see a lot in this season that'll really give you an idea of what it's like!
Yus! Bridges is back!!
I am indeed! Hope you enjoy the series!
Steven, Glad to see you still at this and posting via TH-cam! Congrats on scoring a girlfriend!!
hahahaha thanks dude!
Following you from Italy! Amazing series, really fascinating. can't wait for the next episode
Thank you! 😃 Glad you enjoyed it! Love Italy!
Dude, watching your videos is more addicting than gambling itself.
You always hit us with these crazy cliffhangers.
It was so awesome to see your new video. Thought won't see your videos ever again. I would like to say you have one of the best youtube series overall about your journey in playing blackjack. It was so interesting to watch your videos. Bless you man hope it's not the last seriesfrom you. Peace
Thanks very much Domantas!
this is such an amazing series. genuinely considering learning to count cards now lol. tired of making a flat 700 a week
Yes because then you can lose a cool 700 a day lol
Tired of making shit money, I better start gambling.
Damn bro you must be homeless making that money.
That freaking play at 7:34! God Steven! I loved it! Great work! Excellent playing!
I was arrested for counting in south africa at grand west
Holy crap. for real?
Yeah luckly only for about a day so don’t come to South Africa

@@tracywoode546 Every Wednesday until the trip is over
@@tracywoode546 Hi, Is in the LOIUSIANA casinos with double deck 2D blackjack ?
I can’t wait to see your other videos in this series!
By the way, casinos in Louisiana and Mississippi are known for their hostility toward advantage players and eagerness to send out flyers with your information to other casinos, so be careful there
Cheers mate!
Cheers mate!
Best channel I’ve seen in ages
HYPE! I love these videos so much!
