Casino Bars Card Counters From 3000 Miles Away

Letter from Nevada:
“Here’s an amusing story about a casino barring (true):
Two professional card counters (call them Tom and Jerry) were loudly debating non random shuffles in The Gamblers Book Club along with me. While the conversation was going on, four high management people from a casino in Nassau came into the store, so I naturally dropped out of the discussion. Tom and Jerry continued the debate.
“They of course were so involved with themselves that they paid no attention to the casino officials.
“One of them turned to the card counters and said, ‘Please do not come to our casinos in the Bahamas. I can assure you that you will not be welcome.’”
Casino Barring Follow-up
“Later when Tom actually went to that casino in the Bahamas, he was barred shortly after he first raised his bet.
“Tom and Jerry got barred from the casinos 3000 miles away before their plane even got off the ground! Incredible!” ♠
