Casinos Warn iPhone Card-Counting App is Illegal 462
An anonymous reader writes "Gaming commissions in Nevada are informing casinos that a new card counting program has made its way to the Apple iPhone, called Hi Lo. This program can be used in the Stealth Mode. When the program is used in the Stealth Mode the screen of the phone will remain shut off, and as long as the user knows where the keys are located the program can be run effortlessly without detection. Randall Sayre, of the Nevada Gaming Commission says 'Use of this type of program or possession of a device with this type of program on it (with the intent to use it), in a licensed gaming establishment, is a violation of NRS 465.075.'"

Moot point. If you play with your hands in your pocket you will get busted.
Good advice for any occasion, not just gambling!

Nicky Santoro: A lot of holes in the desert, and a lot of problems are buried in those holes. But you gotta do it right. I mean, you gotta have the hole already dug before you show up with a package in the trunk. Otherwise, you're talking about a half-hour to forty-five minutes worth of digging. And who knows who's gonna come along in that time? Pretty soon, you gotta dig a few more holes. You could be there all fuckin' night.

WRONG. If another player is playing poorly, he is affecting how the cards come out of the deck. For instance, if another player "hits" on a 20, and takes the Jack that would have (should have) accompanied your Ace, he has most definitely played in a way that affect your odds of winning.
In fact, most blackjack players are expecting you to play the "basic strategy" and will get miffed if you don't.

hmm.... let's see.
Hookers? You get more action from them than a tease from a pole dancer.
Food? Better buy than pole dancer time.
Umm.. maybe spend more money gambling, and less on bimbos who won't put out?

When your friend got to his car, was there a hook hanging from the door handle?
Yes, and the tip of the hook was actually an AIDS-infected needle. It didn't matter though, when he drove the car he flicked his brights at someone who didn't have their headlights on; turned out it was a gang initiation so the guy in the car shot him.
