"did you know that casinos in Vegas actually moved to make card counting illegal? Yeah, I know, that's just SO unbelievably capitalistic. Thankfully it didn't work. and in Atlantic City it is illegal for a casino to ask a counter to leave."

Sooooo, let me get this straight...our "capitalistic" system denied the casinos the right to use this "capitalistic" measure? Gee, I guess there's hope for our "capitalistic" system after all, since it obviously doesn't allow everything that you consider to be "capitalistic". LOL! (Of course, it looks like you are off on one of your little Anti-American tangents again.)

"He didn't like the (capitalistic) hollywood system."

And so he did it his way, which is still "capitalistic", according to you, unless you are changing your definitions.

BTW, you seemed to miss this question in the other thread, so I'll ask again here.

You keep talking about "capitalist America". Would you mind telling me when Australia became socialist?

I'll give you time to look up the date.

Oh, I just ran across this...

THE BEST AND WORST CASINOS IN AUSTRALIA
While at some of the casinos on the east coast I also checked out the
current blackjack rules and conditions. As a result of this (and
valuable contributions from Blackjack Australia visitors on casinos I
couldn't get to) I have finally updated the website. The site now has a
page dedicated to each casino with contact details, blackjack rules,
basic strategy, table limits and current penetration.

You can visit the website at http://www.blackjack.iinet.net.au and make
your own conclusions as to which are the best and worst casinos in
Australia for card counters. If you would like my opinion though, I
would forget about card counting at Reef, Lasseters, MGM Grand,
Townsville, and both of the Tasmanian casinos. Although the rules at
some of these casinos may be favourable (the Tassie casinos have the
lowest house edge in the country), they all are so small that it is easy
for a card counter to be noticed, and to be subsequently barred .

I would also add Burswood to the list of casinos to avoid. Although
size is not an issue here, the introduction of Continuous Shuffling
Machines last year makes card counting impossible.


Why those damn, dirty Socialistic Australian casinos! HOW DARE THEY ACT LIKE CAPITALISTS! And barring card-counters, no less - quite the opposite of the "capitalistic" casinos in Atlantic City, wouldn't you say?
