This American Life
466: Blackjack

Oh, crossing of the arms.

This American Life
466: Blackjack

Yeah, it's really subtle.

This American Life
466: Blackjack

So we would cross our arms if it was a good count, and we would leave our arms open if it wasn't a high enough count.

This American Life
466: Blackjack

I was at the Venetian in Las Vegas.

This American Life
466: Blackjack

I was playing at a table.

This American Life
466: Blackjack

I had just finished, and there was actually another guy on the team who was playing at the same pit across from me.

This American Life
466: Blackjack

And he gave me the sign to what we call Wong Inn.

This American Life
466: Blackjack

It means you go over and you go to the table because the count is good.

This American Life
466: Blackjack

It was phenomenal because we kept winning and winning.

This American Life
466: Blackjack

There is layers of people behind us.

This American Life
466: Blackjack

We've got security around us.

This American Life
466: Blackjack

So I get two hands of 20.

This American Life
466: Blackjack

I got four 10s, basically, which you think would be a great hand.

This American Life
466: Blackjack

The dealer pulls up a 6.

This American Life
466: Blackjack

That means I have to split my 10s.

This American Life
466: Blackjack

So I split my tens and then I put another two grand on the other ten and people are just like, what's she doing?

This American Life
466: Blackjack

Well, I mean, there's like comments from the crowd.
