I think being told "We have to back you off because your play is too good" is a badge of honor.
Ikr? That would make my night fr lol! 😆
If anything, this series really proved just how corrupt the gaming commission is
Anyone who has ever watched Boxing already knows this.
You mean...
The companies that were created by members of the mafia are... doing illegal shit?
That's impossible man wtf you talking about.
Wake up, babe...fresh Bridges just dropped. It's divine.
hahaah thanks
Just got off work and the first thing I see is this video and my day is now made
Let’s make Fresh Bridges a thing
Warlock gamer 😴
My couch is a pull out Steven
Found your channel 2 days ago and binged every card counting video you have. Absolutely adore it! Can't wait for more. Suuuuper thrilling stuff!! Love how easily digestible it is too.
Ah thank you! Really appreciate it 😃
That’s me last year. Amazing contents and a wonderful person!
@@stevenbridges literally found it today and been watching all of your videos
exactly the same for me, except I first found the channel 4-5 days ago
Same 😂😂
Steven should walk around with little printouts from the Law book about Identification and holding the winnings lol
"Sir can I have your ID?"
"Oh yeah here you go!" *hands over printout stating how identification is not required for cashouts below 10k or whatever*
I would love to hear their reaction at that point lol
It wouldn't work. Security staff are paid to do "an errand" and don't want to lose their job for failing to remove a card counter.
@@watersbey25 oh trust me I know that, just thinking of ways to spice up the videos. Unique scenarios to keep the videos entertaining. Another one I was thinking was just if he pretended he didn’t know English lol but he’s just that avid of a gambler. How do you throw out a counter who doesn’t know English?
*What's next on my channel:*
*2nd August:* Ep 1 of a new 3 part series - different to the card counting vids, but similar-ish. I think you'll like it, but even if you don't more CC content on the way.
*16th August:* Ep 2 of the new series
*30th August:* Ep 3 of the new series
*13th of September:* Hopefully another video, but I haven't filmed it yet and if I don't like it I won't post it.
*Hopefully in September depending on the edit time:* Another Card Counting Trip.
Want updates? Gonna post previews on Twitter/Insta/Threads @StevenBridges
Can't wait for more episodes Steven!!!
Much love from Georgetown Colorado
@@Blackwolffe097 Thanks mate!
Heck yeah man thanks for the lineup. ADD IT TO THE CALENDAR
@@stevenbridgesfantastic content 👍
@@tomderby2812 Thank you mate!
I’m not a card counter, I don’t have the ability to be a card counter, I’m not interested in being a card counter myself. But my god this content is addictive and fascinating. Honestly one of my favourite CZcamsrs ever
The concept of card counting is simple, but to be good at it, it takes a lot of practice. In the casino, it’s fast paced and the pressure can overwhelm those who are new to it.
Thank you mate! :D
I’m sure you’ve noticed by now that the police in the United States do not care the learn the law, and they are not required to learn it. I love everything you do, partially because it’s entertaining, but also because it educates these ignorant people of the law and what the bounds of their authority is. Anything we, as a country, can do to help prevent power from corrupting any further than it already has is a win in my book. And I know that’s not the purpose of this channel, but it’s a really nice perk!
Us has bigger problems than their domestic policing. They are policing the world. Waging illegal wars etc
I would love to see a video where you actually bring the paperwork of the contract between the casino and the player and show it to the staff, I am really curious what their reaction would be.
Hahaha that’s a great idea
I'll assume the Casino keeps that information private.
@@present3348well said
@present3348 As commonly known by card counting, you need to be able to deal with backoffs. The orginial idea of the comment was to give an idea to steven to try out once to see how the staff would react, especially with some really demanding/confindent casino staf it would be interested when they are shown the facts/their own player terms. As far as actual legal consequences and sueing the casino, you are right it might not have real consequences, but in the more extreme cases where rights are actually violated (not getting cashed out, fake police, entrapment etc) you could definetly make a real case out of it definetly with video from steven, the question is more, would you actually want to go to court, have a ton of work and stress for minor consequences in perspective of the amount of effort put in. The part about chrasing a party is a bit wierd imo, AP's are not breaking any laws or doing anything illegal, casino's just get very hostile because they are salty about losing money to AP's.
btw never harras casino staff, they are just doing their job
@@sanfranciscobay It's not a binding contract if the people involved can't see it.
Love these videos!!! Card-counting is such an interesting activity and requires such skill. Never knew how cool it was until seeing these videos
Just found your channel a few days ago and have binged your new card counting series. It’s absolutely amazing and very entertaining! I’ve always been interested in counting cards but I think your video has pushed me to truly learn the skill. So thank you for that!! 😎🤝
Cheers dude! I recommend: blackjackapprenticeship.com/?steven (affiliate link - costs you nothing extra but supports me. Remove the ?steven if you’d prefer to not use an affiliate link)
Love the sneaky way that your 'first back off' guy got your name from you - a simple introduction, greeting, and a handshake. Not sure if that was noticed at the time, but a much more effectve way of getting an ID than straight up asking for it.
Didn’t he only get his first name? That usually isn’t enough
He got his first name mate lol
This is one of the most addictive channels to watch, a passion of mine narrated by a soothing voice, just love it. Thanks for the recap though I did just binge watch your channel about a week ago :P
"Your plays too good, we dont want your style here". Absolutely disgusting
Thanks for the video. Looking forward to see where you go with the channel going forward.
Great new video! Love the tier list. I’m so glad this showed up first page on my front page today.
If an officer in the US tells you that card counting is illegal wouldn't confessing to counting be an option? If they arrest you you might make more off of the lawsuits that would follow than you ever could have off of blackjack.
With police unions existing, it's very hard to win against the police, even if they shoot you in the face
You won't get a huge payout without huge damages, which a wrongful arrest usually doesn't cause

Your videos are so exciting and well done. I hope you have another trip planned.
I think you’ll need to look in to more professional disguises though in future!
love your content Stevie B. Keep doing what you're doing.
You should include the names of the casinos simply because I'd rather lose all my money in a friendly and dignified place than a hostile and scummy one. Love your vids, very insightful for seeing the atmosphere of casinos since counting cards is a trade I'll probably never acquire.
Watch Inside The Edge. It's on CZcams. They listed a few casinos that are nastier, and are still nasty to this day.
Sam's Town in Tunica, MS has a history of overreacting, and sometimes they kick you out without cashing you out, forcing you to go to gaming to fight back and get the casino fined for breaking the law.
Treasure Chest Casino in Mississippi is a known sweat joint, and they don't hesitate to report you on the casino database after catching you red handed. They are even known to use police to illegally intimidate you into showing your ID.
Love your vibe man. Always puts a smile on my face when I see you upload.
Not much of a gambler but your videos are so entertaining. Hope you and the team keep up the good work👌
Thanks man! Really glad you enjoy them 😃
I love your videos bro! I aspire to be like you someday but for now I am doing fairly well with basic strategy. Keep being awesome!
Bro I freaking love your videos. Thanks so much for making my day!
Love the videos man. Keep it up!
I appreciate the support!
Great video man, this is some FreshBridges content
Thank you for your business 👍🏻
I've gone on a binge since I discovered your channel, keep up the fantastic work.
Hell yeah. Been waiting for this! Love the videos.
Thanks mate! Thought it would be a fun one between trips 😃
I tell you what this is one of my fave channels I have come across so far, absolutely 10 10 love it
Been watching your channel since the first series of Beat The Odds and I have no idea how you don't have millions of subscribers already
Great video as always steven! I always look forward to your next upload
Thank you! Tried something a little different with this one so wasn’t sure if people would like it. Glad you liked it
@stevenbridges I see! I liked it a lot, I think this kind of card counting content works really well for your channel
I absolutely love your videos Steven! Im a table games/poker dealer at a small casino and i've been using my time dealing blackjack to try and practice counting and its extremely difficult to keep a count while doing everything else. Lots of respect to you and your crew
Counting and dealing is a very difficult combo! But if you can manage it your game will be very strong
I can't believe this happens. As a Vegas native... I'm appalled really. You gave them too much credit as there was only one decent back off, the rest are trash. Security and "police" should NEVER get involved in a back off.
The libs in Washington are all rude there
@@ThatLongHairMetalGuy I've heard the stories. I have seen and been part of back offs. Never like any of these bad ones. Maybe downtown they still do that? (I've heard security downtown is volatile) but again. Security should never be involved.
@@present3348 in my entire career, i have not called security for a back off nor has any pit boss I've worked with needed security for a back off. We do not remove card counters from our properties just because they are card counters. Security has nothing to do with gaming. If you work security and surveillance or table games calls you for a card counter then you're in a company causing these problems. Removing people from games because they're stealing, violent, threatening, or mistreating employees.. yes. Security will get involved. That's a security issue. Again, card counters should *NOT* be removed off premises. There is no reason to do so. Downtown is notorious for having overzealous security where situations are escalated (by security) even in situations where it's not their place to do so.
@@ThatLongHairMetalGuy Maybe back when the mobs ran the casinos. There is no way they would jeopardize their money making machine by doing something so stupid nowadays.
On the other Hand Its always so chilling when there are nice back offs in your Video, like the positive vibes just make me happy
Awesome as always again mate.
I legit get addicted levels of distracted when I see your videos. Love it!
Haha I appreciate it!
On the bonus video, if I was your friend being accosted by the police like that, I’d have said, “Really? So if I’m a card counter, who do you think knows more about the laws surrounding card counting? You or me officer?” 😂 Then I’d just keep asking them to arrest me and clarify the charges because “I’m just genuinely curious.”😂
You'll get out eventually, but never underestimate a police officers lack of knowledge on the law or his willingness to arrest you for what he believes is the law even if he is wrong.
Best content around at the moment. More please!
Thanks mate!
New series coming!? Can’t wait to see what you’ve got up your sleeves.
You’re amazing Steven. Keep it up
Smart idea to make a tier list of this. You make good content. You're helping thousands of people and making casinos lose more money. Fuck em.
Keep doing what you do. It's fire.
My F tier backoff was when I got followed through the parking lot and threatened to be arrested. Completely unprofessional, intimidating, and awful.
I had a local casino of mine refuse to cash out $5,600 at the desk when I wouldn’t show ID. It made absolutely no sense. It was also just the cashier. I wasn’t counting but she immediately went hostile when I said no…
So did u just lose your money??
@@mjumper I gave over ID
Because it is casino policy and her job depends on it. She thinks what she is doing is 100% right and your the one giving her a hard time. I'm not saying she's actually in the right, but it's definitely the casino's putting these "policies" in place that is the problem.
Super excited for the new series coming
Thanks! The one starting 2nd August is totally different but something I've wanted to do for ages. I thiiiiiink people will like it. But if not, more CC anyway. 😃
@@stevenbridges I can't wait, amazing content btw
@@stevenbridgesit’s gonna be great man. One of the most entertaining people I’ve ever seen
Love your content. Love your energy🙂
I have seen gamblers become violent towards staff, sadly. Since they are going to remove you, or at the least prevent you from playing, it is understandable to have another security person to make sure all goes peacefully.
At smaller casinos it’s easier to be noticed with your play. With your action, they tend to watch diligently. At the larger casinos, we just have to input your name in a database and see all your info and your associates. If you’re playing as a refusal, then we see if you’re moving with the count. Pretty simple and basic, plus we have separate people whose only job is to count cards. Takes a small load off of surveillance. Sure AP do slip through the cracks, but pretty simple to weed them out.
Also, our back offs are simple and rarely need security. Since it’s Vegas, all they have to do is ask for ID and once you refuse, they will cash you out and have you leave. No hostility since it’s almost every other day people are being backed off.
Do casinos have access to the NCIC? I applied for a casino surveillance job awhile back and got denied. I think it was because of a prior arrest from ages ago.
@@present3348 Right, but what I'm asking is what do they have access to? I know tribal casino surveillance departments have access to the FBI's most wanted list, amongst other law enforcement databases.
I want to know if private casino enterprises can see/access the NCIC. It would show problem codes which correlate to specific type of arrests and what they were for. If they have access to that it would explain why I was denied the job.
@@christophercarlone9945 when I had my background check done, I requested a copy of my report from the specific company doing them. They look at pretty much everything and if there was an arrest, it wouldn’t disqualify you unless it is relative to theft, and other specific things. But for the casino I’m at, they really make sure whoever they hire would be fit and not commit crimes. Licensing is a big issue because I know some got denied from an unpaid traffic ticket.
I’ve been asking for this video for months, so glad it’s out
Hope ya like it Cliff!
Hello Steven i find your videos interesting and wanted to ask if you would ever make a video in which you show yourself card counting in a casino and commenting on your thoughts via edit, I think it'd be a very interesting and fun video and others might agree, it would add well to a card counting tutorial video that you've made.
Love your content I had a question how do you determine count if they don’t show you the first burn card
YESSSS new Steven vid!
Love your content and can't wait for the next series. Cheers!
Can you add the tier list to the end of each of your future videos and rank where it falls on the list? Like a 30 second thing at the end, would be really cool.
I've always been amazing at math my entire life but while I was binging this channel I came to the conclusion that I should use my math skills and learn to count cards, I'm 14 so the 4 years of practice until I can gamble will be useful. Thank you.
@@present3348 Yea, but it's also kinda like a memory game to at some point or another
Niiice bro, you're smooth af.played all these off like a gentleman
Don't give your ID to cops either - they have no authority to see it unless they suspect you of a crime. They do NOT need your ID in order to issue a trespass warning.
However, they may still arrest you anyway because there is basically no accountability for them to make illegal arrests that later get dropped.
Loved this review of back offs. For me there is no reason for any animosity from the casinos, its not like you card counting directly affects their pay. Anyway keep up the good work
Love your videos, Steven!
Thank you!
bingwatching ur channel, so dope, never stop pls
Thanks mate
Great videos I’ve watched them 3 x4 times love the videos
All Casino's in B.C Canada now require you to present ID at the door to enter. I don't think its viable for every Casino to do this but that will definitely hinder the ability to enter again after already being backed of especially if you get flagged for being around.
As a Louisianan, your experience in Shreveport made me laugh so hard 😅 The culture shock of someone from England I knew would be strong. Shreveport is…well…let’s say…not ideal 😅😅
This was very interesting, thus, outstanding
This guy needs his own show on the telly love
Wow i found tour videos a week ago and ive been binging them it feels like a legal heist movie!
I wish this subject wasnt such a niche because its hard to find videos like this. Still love the videos though❤
I cannot believe you’ve never punched one of these guys in the face. Your patience is amazing
The thing that I get at the 9:00 back off is also how close he is too you. That's an insane line of aggression. When you can feel the spittle of them talking in your face, and the people who do that WANT you try to back them away from you, because they are the type that if you touch them in anyway they will immediately "defend" themselves despite being the ones ensuring they are inches from you.
3:25 "+6 is a very good number"
Do casinos count their own cards? I mean, it would make a lot of sense if they could correlate a positive count with players increased bets as "proof" of advantage play. Can't imagine it would be too hard either, one camera, some image recognition software and a little Python code.
Mr Bridges, do you feel that the casinos are verifying that you are actually counting cards or are back offs based on your betting style? For instance, if you were to just randomly bet the min and max would they still back off?
Uhhh i know this may be a bit presumptuous but I live in London and was wondering if there were any playable games around here? Would love some advice:)
Really enjoyed this video :D
Glad you enjoyed it!
lol, nice, a tier list. this is awesome!!! cheers
Do you only use hi-lo, or do you use hi-opt also?
What hidden camera do you use?
That one where he said "we are going to do things a little bit differently..." If you had $9900, I bet that interaction would have ended up being an F tier and imagine how many people who weren't as up as you were that he has done that to.
Yeah for sure. I’ve heard people have really rough times in Tunica. So I can totally imagine for many counters it went the other way.
For a second, I didn't realize it was your video because the left looked like the ranking videos I watch for retrogames.
You should do a video on the differences in procedures between American and uk casinos
I'm new to card counting and blackjack in general, is there 2 decks in this game ?!
YES STEVEN
Stephen Bridges has an insane level of confidence to be able to refuse to show ID wherever he goes.
Anyone who does what Steven does better be prepared to have the people skills to stand up for themselves, the tax skills needs to report their income to the IRS in case a judge questions your background, and a solid plan of action to file lawsuits against dirty casinos.
I don't think I'd be calm and effective enough to deal with more extreme confrontations without saying/doing something criminal.
If you are willing to sacrifice possible longevity to get less extreme reactions, go the players card route, cash out all your chips immediately, and do not sneak into casinos that you have previously been 86d from.
Some casino companies like Caesars and Indian Casinos automatically exclude you from all sister properties and deactivate your players card, so take it seriously when that happens and don't jump to another Caesars property after your first ban notice.
Other casino companies like PNG and Hard Rock, you can still hop around from sister property to sister property without them playing dirty, although a red note might appear on your account but you'll still be able to play normally.
Do you know much about the security part? I can see why that would be classified but maybe the basics? Like is someone just sitting there looking for counters the whole time or is it facial recognition? Just curious
Every state that offers casino style gaming should watch these videos.
The state legislatures write laws and statutes that casinos ignore regularly. These casinos “take a shot” and it comes with no penalty.
There needs to be a punishment for this bad behavior on the part of casinos. It needs to be substantial.
Great video!
14:42 LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO -1 +1 is not allowed
Hey Steven
First i love your Videos. i have a little quastion. When you count can you put a little window maybe in the Corner where you show the running Count and the true Count. i woud be happy if you can do that
I do that sometimes but in some videos there's not a clear shot of the table the whole time so I can't really do it retroactively. But if you check out the first ep of Season 2 there's a part there where I have the count on the screen 😃
i love your content!
I NEED MORE VIDEOS
2:00 "I swear I flushed and that smell was from the guy in the stall next to me, I only did number 1, not number 2".
Honestly crazy that they are even allowed to tell you to 'backoff' the game. If they're allowed to do that, they should also be required to tell you to back off if you've lost too much. That'll never happen. Also you should've shared the names of the casinos
They are required to ask you if you want to stop after a certain amount lost, and are supposed to back you off if you are too drunk.
As the person above replied, I’ll +1 that. I’ve been to a couple of casinos where I have seen them notice someone losing A LOT of money at once and they’ll normally ask them if they want to stop playing or give them some comps to get them away from the table, ultimately they’re a business and they want to make money so they won’t force you to stop spending but they do sometimes care. I’ve also seen them stop drunk people from playing, they’ll literally call security and escort them to cash out their chips and if they’re staying at a Casino/Hotel will escort to their room. As far as card counting or winning too much, all casinos will back you off eventually so naming the casino is pointless when all of them do it.
Is season 3 finished or will there come more videos?
Just Got back from the gym, best post workout video ❤😅
Haha nice one!
8:30 Hey I drive by the Tulalip Casino on I-5 almost daily
I've been kicked out of Harrahs NKC before. Not for card counting, but for drinking. 😂
Love ur vids!! 😃
Cheers mate!
I’ve managed to snag close to $900k in 3 months and never got backed off once . I can talk to people, look away from the table and still count. I learned how to count cards in the mid 90s because I was really bored one summer with a broken foot. I started to use my ability recently. I’m surprised he got backed off so many times.
You were lucky considering that he said his friend who also count cards had bad luck too.
Take me on a CC experience, I can count I love to have a lil brawl with lying security guys, we could make great content😂
I was known as a Card Counter in one casinos in Hollywood Florida dealers were friendly and they knew I counted. A couple of dealers evened up playing fantasy football with. A pit boss knew I was a Card Counter(heard him mention a couple of times) he never snitched on me. Months later got backed off. But I spoke to pit boss and he said surveillance ended up catching me which was true since I got stopped as soon as I walked through doors
Is there any State that allows Card Counters to play unrestricted?
I’ve been trying to learn deviations and I’m curious if deviations change going from 6 deck to 8 deck with the same rules other than the total decks
We keep ours the same. For double or single deck there are tweaks
Woah thanks for replying love the content keep it up. I look forward to every upload :)
Is burning like 10 cards face down in the beginning of a shoe not the answer for resolving the card counting problem for the casino’s?
Funny how "he treated my like a human being" is a high bar 😂😂
