I have two distinct lives. One in the trenches of low-budget film and television, the other in professional gambling. Because of the feast-or-famine nature of show business I need a reliable income... gambling. So here you will read about both worlds. Enjoy!

Macau is full with One2Sixes. Do you know of any player that has been banned from playing against the One2Six?

Players in the US get barred for playing One2Sixes. Hell in the US players get barred for winning at anything. I have no idea about Macau.

Here in Macau they simply try to stop any frequent player that plays basic strategy from playing blackjack. All company politics just to show to the Board of Directors that something is being done in regards to the "problems" APs cause. In the States the same? Or is there a way to beat the One2Six?

By the way only the Macau government can issue an official ban. Casinos have the so-called 'right of admission', but this then is not a ban. People that have been told to leave and come back the next day are not violating any law. There is no such thing as trespassing in Macau, though needless to say casinos will claim that they are a private company bla bla bla
