I'm sure Bob won't be surprised that I mostly agree with his
position, as operating games in a reasonable manner (using common
sense to prevent giving an unfair advantage to ANYONE) is implied in
my original thesis. One was even stated directly:
>
> For example, card counting posed a real "threat" when practiced by
> organized teams, with counters spotting opportunities and well
> financed bettors jumping onto them. This was easily eliminated by
> barring mid-deck entry and utilizing shoes rather than single decks.
I also alluded to casino's "giving away the house" by offering more
rewards through the back door (point, mailers and bounceback cash)
than coming in the front door from video poker players.
What Bob didn't address (and I suspect he agrees with me) is that no-
one should be excluded for playing the games the casino offers in the
manner presented.
Casino's ARE in fact "middlemen" in the reallocation of funds.
