Thread: Inside the Edge - Blackjack Documentary. Show Printable Version;, 10:08 AM #1. View Profile View Forum Posts. Podcast – Inside The Edge June 20, 2019 1 Comment Written by Richard Munchkin Our guests this week are KC and Chris Buddy, on to talk about their new documentary “Inside the Edge,” which follows a successful blackjack player across the country.
I watched it on iTunes and am waiting for the DVD from Amazon.
I've ranted that card counting seems to be always depicted as an easy way to make a windfall of money in the movies and television. Rain Man and 21 come immediately to mind. Inside the Edge is the non-fictional work that actually shows what it's like. I must admit I've been saying that card counting is dead or nearly-dead and this movie proves me wrong. However, it does show KC, the main character, getting 86'd and trespassed right and left, and sometimes worse.
The lineup of experts giving commentary is outstanding, if I may toot my own horn. Many of the big names, including James Grosjean, are in it.
BTW, this is not my first movie. I play a similar roll, but talking about slots, in Ka-ching -- Pokie Nation, another great movie.
The question for the poll is what is your review of Inside the Edge?
Inside The Edge Movie
Will watch tonight.
Looks like hidden cameras used for casinos interior.
One of the things that annoyed me about the Christian Blackjack team doc was they seemed to have pro cameras following them around inside the casinos.
I mean, if the casino sees a camera man following you around??? That and other things about that doc made me highly suspect it was staged.
This one appears more real.
Thoughts after I watch. Thx

He didn’t go to EVERY casino along the path. His friend is filming. There’s also at least a couple casinos he’s going into mainly for the purpose of getting trespassed/the footage, he otherwise would have known better as an experienced networked player (the one where he’s getting harassed by cops, for sure he knew that wasn’t going to be pleasant and he wasn’t getting much EV before entering). It was good overall, a bit short.
From remarks made and style of play, it seemed KC (is that right?) wanted to go out in a blaze of glory and do something else with his life afterward. Maybe I missed it, but I don't recall him explaining who was doing the secret recording. At various times in the movie he complained about being lonely. I wondered why the secret cameraman didn't keep him company between sessions.

Quotes below from a chat on Norms site in 2012 (this film has been supposedly coming out for a long time now.) It sort of seemed like he was solo some of the time I agree.
“I was always scared for my partner Chris, who carried and wore the cameras.”
“I decided to go out on a limb and travel the entire country as the last chapter of my career. My friend and filmmaker, Chris Buddy, thought it would make an excellent cinematic experience so I let him tag along and document the whole trip.”
The film shows a surveillance flyer of Chris when he’s talking about casinos overreacting.Wizard

Thanks for the comments. You can tell the film was in progress for a long time by the color of my hair. It was only about 10% grey at the time of my scenes. Now it's 90%.
I want my $5 back.
As to card counting, I've generally accepted the 'hard way to make an easy living' theory and the observation that those who have the bank roll usually have the skills to make far more money doing something else.
Yet it has always puzzled me as to why casinos hire zillions of sharp eyed floor men to guard against a myth.

YOUR WELCOME!!

I really enjoy reading posts by the APrs here but I can't see myself getting into it unless something just fell in my lap (highly unlikely). All that work and research involved. It's certainly not a lifestyle for most people. I'm always reminded of that scene in the film 'The Sting' ....
Johnny Hooker:How many guys you conned in your life, Henry?
Henry Gondorff:I don't know, 200, 300. Sometimes we played two a day when I was with O'Shea's mob. Of course, Chicago was a rigged town. The fix was in. The dicks took their end without a beef. We had it down to a business. And it really stunk, kid. No sense in being a grifter if it's the same thing as being a citizen.
