Casino Player Magazine and casino shills...

#1

I was reading Casino Player magazine Oct. issue about the new
blackjack tracking system Mindplay written by "Dr." Henry Tamburin,
this guy comes across as a shameless casino shill. He thinks its just
great for everyone that the casino can track every players skill
level, so that we can all get the comps we deserve. So much for
letting the average, average=bad, player subsidize the players who
have a clue on how to play the game. I'm sure Mindplay won't tell the
dealer when the count is very player favorable, and therfore time to
re-shuffle.

Can we have a shill factor rating of the regulars who write these
articles. Note,I enjoy reading Jean Scott's articles and do not
consider her a shill.

I don't know if I would go so far as categorizing Mr.Tamburin as a
casino shill just because he thinks Mindplay is just fine and dandy.
I casually read the article and didn't come away with that thought.
I'll have to go back and read it again.

   You may disagree with him on his opinions, but from all the books
and articles that I've read by him over the years, he seems to be on
side of the gambler. After all, this guy has spent the last thirty
years or so teaching all of us how to beat the casinos, so it doesn't
figure that he would sell us out now.

   But, then again, I've never met the guy, although I would like to,
and really don't know what his intentions were. Maybe he'll write a
reply to your accusation on this site. Anyway, it's something to
think about.
