Very cool article, worth a read.  Most of the advantage play in casinos involves card-related games.  Some people can fiddle with dice as they're thrown, some people watch payouts on slot machines or time the spin of a roulette wheel, but it's card-related games that tend to be the most vulnerable.

Thanks for sharing, it was a good read. I enjoyed the stories, and they were well paced throughout the article. I was a little worried at the start as the writing itself seemed childish in structure and prose, but it hit it's stride well enough and was a fun read.

I'll stick to my standard craps tables and leave the advantage play to the big boys.
