Get the pokemon cardsmug. The only legal way to win in a casino. You can do this by using a combination of basic strategy, and keeping track on the cards that have been played. Assuming you know the rules of BlackJack, here is a quick explination of how to play.
Basic Strategy:
If the dealers face up card is a 4,5 or 6 the player should draw up to a minimum of 12
If the dealers face up card is anything else, the player should draw up to a minimum of 17
Always split Aces and 8's
The Count:
The player is aiming to reach a minimum target number when counting.
If the target number is reached the player should increase their bet because they will be odds on to win.
The target number is double the amount of decks being used (If the dealer is playing with 4 decks, the target number would be +8 or higher).
Every card delt has a count value. These have to be tracked in order to know when to increase the bets.
2,3,4,5 and 6 have a value of +1
7,8 and 9 have a value of 0
10, Jacks, Queens, Kings and Aces have a value of -1
Card counting does give the player a pecentage above the house, but it is not always easy to do. For maximum efficiency the technique should be practiced extensively prior to usage.
In order to make counting difficult for the house to spot, count teams are recomended. This is where one person does the counting while playing small, and signals the other team members when to come over and start betting big.

Get the card countingmug. Like the race card, the gay card is used when an individual or group of people of the LGBT community believe or accuse an individual or group of discriminating or hating them because of their sexual orientation in order to gain an advantage or influence over their needs and wants.
Ex. 1. LGBT high school student: You just hate me because I'm gay! Homophobe!
High school student: No, you're rude to me in class and spread rumors. Being gay has nothing to do with it...
Ex. 2: LGBT individual to a police officer: I'm gay, it's a hate crime if you arrest me!
Ex. 3: Religious individual: Just because I believe in God doesn't mean I automatically hate gay people...
LGBT individual: You're the reason I can't get married! It's entirely you and your religion's fault for oppressing us!
Religous individual: Hey, I voted for gay marriage to be legal!
Ex. 4: LGBT high school student: Woe is me, I'm a freshman and can't get married. *cries*
High school student: Stop playing the gay card to get attention. It's not working.

Get the yellow cardedmug. This is a figure of speech in where a bro blindly defends or sides with another bro when engaged in a conversation or dispute with a female, (non-bro). This act, when carried out properly is referred to as "Pulling a Bro Card". It is a nuance of the Bro Code can be exercised in many situations, and may be an actual card, in it's literal form.
Megan: "How can you possibly say that Jessica Beil is a great actress?!"
Josh: "Umm, because she is!"
Megan: "Steve, what do you think?"
Steve: "I gotta go with Josh on this one... Sorry."
Megan: "Did you just pull a 'bro card'?"
Josh: "Umm, because she is!"
Megan: "Steve, what do you think?"
Steve: "I gotta go with Josh on this one... Sorry."
Megan: "Did you just pull a 'bro card'?"

Get the bro cardmug. An expression used to indicate that another's statement or action is disgusting or shockingly crude. Can be used with fairly minor statements, but should not be overused. This expresses a lesser degree of shock or disgust that a red card.
