This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Fake. Counting cards (in blackjack) isn't a good way to make money. It involves large changes in your bet size that make it extremely obvious. If you're bad at it, places will let you do it while you lose money. If you're actually good at it (he's not), they'll kick you out. It's an obvious thing that places don't put up with if you're winning.

Op is counting 52 cards in a basement game, he's found his calling, until he encounters a shoe

Or worse.

For his sake, I hope he takes his winnings so far and walks.

Clowning on a bunch of underground gambling rings is a good way to end up on a lot of shitlists of a lot of less than scrupulous people.

The good thing about underground gambling rings is that 2k is hardly an amount worth shitlisting about...
