Casinos are always a scam, you can’t win, and if you find a way they kick you out.
It’s allowed because they can do whatever they want. It’s their table and their cards. As long as they don’t welch on payouts that you’ve already earned, they can kick you out for any reason (except belonging to a protected class), or for no reason.
On this note, don’t gamble in casinos on reservations. They are not subject to federal regulations, and they absolutely do kick you out without paying if you win big enough.
Err, what? Do you want it to be illegal to kick someone out for wearing a swastika? That’s a “class” of people.
We use the law to protect marginalized people, not just any category of asshole we can think of.
Only in casinos, though. It’ll be the new wild west - a gambler’s marketplace of ideas, where only those lucky enough to win big can spread their ideologies.
I think you two are talking past each other. “People wearing swastikas” is not a class of people because nazism isn’t a religion. They are just people making a choice to wear a shitty and offensive armband. Classes are about things people either couldn’t possibly help; such as nationality, race, sex, disability, color…or things so closely tied to their identity that they should never be expected to change; such as gender, sexuality, and religion.
Then there are some outside of the standard discourse as well, like prisoners are a protected class when it comes to psychological research.
I don’t want anyone to have the power to kick out people from public places for arbitrary reasons. Defending against Nazi’s isn’t an arbitrary reason though.
Except that the introduction of multiple decks for a single table made card counting all but useless
I call shenanigans
It still works, just not as well. There are plenty of youtube videos teaching how to count cards even with multiple decks.
Sure, but automatic shufflers are getting more and more common. Not to mention, you have to have a fairly large starting pot to have a hope of making a decent profit. Then even if you do everything right, you still have a relatively high chance of going in the red.
Not necessarily true. People still succeed at card counting with 6 deck shoes. The main problem is that you need a lot of capital for the odds to eventually even out in your favor. Even in the bast case scenario, you still only have a 1% advantage. There are counting groups that will pool tons of money and then split the total winnings as to maintain a higher average winnings.
Private business
If you go into a Walmart and start talking to employees about unions, you’ll get escorted out.
Unfortunately for anon, “understands basic probability” is not a protected class under the civil rights act.
