How does a person work singulo? What are the strategies, patterns, and money move you would tend to use? ...or would you just win more than you lose?
How else is it different than working with a crew? What, if anything, do you think should be done differently by workers than it is done now? |

Whit Haydn's newest DVD on the shells details a method that would work great for single-o. It's basically group play taking multiple bets, doing whatever maneuvers you like from Whit's arsenal, and you collect from the high players and pay out the low players. No crew required for this strategy, although a lookout and some backup would always be nice.
No trees were killed in the making of this message, but a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

Yeah,
I'm feeling a bit guilty for tossing the thread around. Hope it's not the reason for this silence. If so, I apologize to Tom et all for getting off topic. I shan't post in this thread again. Chad |

Folks, I'm around. Haven't been able to get online in a while. I will pick the thread back up when my situation is better for internet access.

If you look above your post you will see why. Stuff happens. Once topandball has access again I'm sure things will pick up.

I certainly hope so, as I'm rather enjoying this thread.
I'm very happy to say that most of my questions have already been asked by others. |

I know you've been talking about shells and the like so far, but I was curious about the process (if any) of getting involved in a card mob- do you have to stick to it on your own until you happen to bump into the right people? I remember reading in one of Simon lovell's books that there are a few select hand gestures that are made when you sit down at a table... Are those still used, or is that as old as "the sting"? Or would you just start a mob with others who are interested... Any thoughts?

I'm still alive guys (and gals). I've not had any convenient internet connection for quite some time. Been staying in cheap motels.
magicmind: No legal background. I just have thought about issues of morality in great depth. And thank you for the compliment. People, I'm really very interested in answering your questions, but I have been very busy of late. I will be back to (attempt to) answer all the questions I have backlogged here. So many good questions! -B

Two years later and I still think about this thread from time to time. Too bad he never came back!
