Wayne said:i would like to make my own 21 table, because all of my homies like to gamble, and i would like to have one for myself as well. i was wondering where would be the best/cheapest place to buy one from. i was thinking about having someone else thats not directly associated with me try asking if they could buy one from a casino, but i dont know if they sell them anywhere in there. oh yeah, yesterday my mom and girlfriend went to the casino and my girl picked up 6 decks for me from the gift shop i guess. i checked all the decks and im pretty sure there was an extra 7 of diamonds in one. what are the chances that the casino was using a messed up deck in one of their games? the cards are cards that have already been used by the casino and have been marked and put out of use. and how do they paint the cards that they will no longer use? i was thinking they run them through a machine that prints the ink on each card in the corner.
Wayne said:yeah, i plan on starting my own casino in my "day room". nah im playing, i just want to have my own table to play at while im practicing, and also so anyone at my house has a good place to gamble. i have been playing quite a bit of cards since i got back into learning AP. usually everyone wants to play hold em, and the 21 table woul also work well for that.

I did exactly what you are trying do - create a realistic blackjack table. I found a great Blackjack set that saved me lots of $$$. It all came as advertised and has worked great for the few tournaments I have held. This company had sent me a torn cut card which they replaced no questions asked - good customer service too. I just went out and bought my own set of chips and I had everything I need. The link is:

Take a look as it was far and away the best deal out there.

First step in shuffle-tracking is to train your eyes accurately, and for that, you need everything set up exactly as it will be in a casino, because you have to track a few cards very accurately and cards look different on green felt as opposed to a glass-top or wooden table.
You want to play on the same surface, sitting the same distance from the dealer, using the same type of playing cards and shoe / discard tray, etc. It reduces errors.
