THE TRUTH ABOUT SWEAT vs. HEAT

by Vinny DeCarlo

 

Vinny DeCarlo is the author of How to Beat Casino Surveillance – Insider’s Secrets for Card Counters. He is a retired veteran casino man with over 20 years of upper management experience. His expertise covers the pit, security, and surveillance, and he even served as a General Manager for two different casinos. Currently, Vinny travels the states as a freelance reporter and a personal consultant to many Indian casinos. According to Vinny, there are two types of casino employees - those that know him, and those that claim to know him; therefore, never believe what you hear.

 

There are a few subtleties between the "heat" and "sweat" that you get from floor supervisors. You should consider them a threat to your longevity but also understand them for what they are: confidence and fear. Floor supervisors, who send vibes of "heat," are trying to give you the shaft, and intend to prove you deserve it. If they can’t prove it, they will back you off anyway or break the shoe on you. They’re very brazen and full of confidence (albeit unwarranted confidence).

The floor supervisors who send the "sweat" vibes lack confidence. If they suddenly look alarmed, it’s quite possible that they were startled by seeing their own shadows. Those that sweat do so in fear. They don’t have the sense to figure out what you’re doing, so if you happen to be winning, they stand around thinking of excuses to tell their boss when the whip comes down. They usually don’t have the authority to back people off, and they don’t have a rational explanation to give their boss for requesting to back you off, so they hide in fear. It’s only when their boss comes over and says, "Where in the hell did he get all those chips?" that the sweat turns to heat.

Examples of Heat vs. Sweat

Heat: Floor supervisor suspects you’re doing something and so he hangs out at your table.

Sweat: Floor supervisor just noticed a large amount of chips in front of you so he checks the table inventory to see if you bought in or won big (he’s praying that you purchased them).

Heat: Floor supervisor "cuts into you" and tries to get some personal information from you.

Sweat: Floor supervisor stands off to the side of your table trying to intimidate you while trying not to noticeably shake (in fear).

Heat: Floor supervisor makes a phone call to ssurveillance and stays away from your table.

Sweat: Floor supervisor changes the deck(s) on you to "alter the card rhythm."

Heat: Floor supervisor changes the dealer on you.

Sweat: Sweat is visibly dripping off...
