At 25k a hand its no different than someone starting with 200 and turning it into 12k it happens all the time. The casino didn't lose they probably got a lot back from him and more from others Placing even higher bets. This video makes it sound like he is somehow smarter than the casino nope he just started with more money. There is plenty of casinos that dont hit on soft 17 and all the other rules he wanted.

I don't know anything about distracting the dealer, he still has to turn the cards, and I've never seen one make a mistake.... all I know is that the dealer has nothing to "Lose" whereas I have, and that's always going to be your Achilles heel. Fact....

So basically he did things that he was only allowed to do because he was a high roller to begin with.

This is a lame publicity stunt. Not impressive at all. Anyone can win if they can create their own set of rules... Duh... You can't win that much playing normal

All of these comments saying "the casino and bloomberg set this up to encourage people to play" are hilarious. Holy tin foil hat

This is totally awesome, because now I know to take Bloomberg off the list of credible news sources! That list is getting shorter every day! Just kidding, Bloomberg has been off the list for a while already.

What do you mean "distract the dealer"? Blackjack is an automated game, as in the dealer literally just distributes cards, rather than having to make decisions. The only possible thing you could hope for is that they somehow miscount the cards, which would be next to impossible considering these are people who do this all day everyday and they only have to count to a maximum of 21.

Dealers make mistakes a LOT and unless you know the game really well and are not only paying attention to your own moves but also paying close attention to the dealer, you’d never notice. Sometimes it’s as simple as the dealer thinking a noobie won’t notice it but it’s just as simple as the dealer not liking you for whatever reason.
