Bringing down the house week 5
One thing that i find that is really cleaver is the way that they set up their system once they are in the casino. First, all of the spotters come in one by one with 5 minute increments inbetween each other as to not create suspicion. Each spotter chooses a table to sit at and they do not raise or lower their bets at all they keep it all the same because the spotters are not their to make money, they are there to figure out the count and then give the Big player or the gorilla a sign to come in and play that table when the count is high. A high count consists of basically anything in the teens and then 12 11 10 9 are still pretty good as well. The sign that the spotters give the big players and the gorillas for them to come and play that table is that they cross their arms and put them behind their back. When the Big players get to the table they have to know how good of a count they are playing with so that they can keep the count going in their head, and also they need to be able to know how much to bet so in a very clever scale they made a system to tell the big players what the count is. The spotter will make a remark/comment/question/etc. with one of the following words to tell the big players the count. Tree-1 because 1 looks like a tree. Switch-2 because a switch is binary. Stool-3, 3 legs. Car-4, 4 wheels. Glove-5, 5 fingers. Gun-6, 6 bullets. Craps-7, lucky seven. Pool-8, 8 ball. Cat-9, 9 lives. Bowling-10, 10 pins. Football-11, 11 looks like goalposts. Eggs-12, a dozen. Witch-13, witch number. Ring-14, 14 carrot gold. Paycheck-15, get payed on the 15th. Sweet-16, sweet 16. Magazine-17, name of the teen magazine. Voting booth-18, age you can vote.
