Is card counting and gaming in casinos going to be different after Covid-19?

Sure is.

Daniel learned card counting in his later years at university around 2003 and has been politely asked to leave, restricted and known to casinos he's diligently played blackjack in.

One takeaway for anyone that visits a casino - there's little chance they wash the chips at all.

Looking for what might be the new normal, one person at a time who knows their field.

Each episode we ask experienced people how their specific field, life, industry or community will be different post pandemic.

There’s no way any one person can conceptualise everything that’s going to change, so I’ll keep it specific, based on as much experience as I can muster from people that are happy to think about what comes after.

Subscribe where you’re listening now or on you podcast app to get every new episode from people of varying backgrounds.

Some will speculate about what might be your situation, others won’t feel relevant but because they are able to talk about it they will be to other people.

It’s not about fabricating a future but what our lives may be like when the coronavirus pandemic is over.

Every guest gets the same 7 questions and with enough episodes we might be able to make some comparisons.

Daniel has been asked to leave several casinos because they know he knows how to count cards

Blackjack and casinos - Daniel Kozijevic

James is the Chief Technology Officer Asia-Pacific at SEEK, the massive online job board.

This episode was recorded on 5 June 2020

Hastened digitisation thanks to Covid-19 means the decisions CTOs make affect how everyone will work.

Behind that is corporate coding culture, expected to become more like open source coding culture without the office.

It's also a culture based on explaining yourself in the form of proposed changes to code rather than theoretical diagrams and strategies.

James says this "levels the playing field greatly."

Insights from James Ross about the massive accelleration companies and corporate tech culture will have to adapt to.

Coding culture at companies - James Ross

This stuff is rife during the pandemic. And not just Bill Gates, 5G, bleach or hydroxychloroquine. 

Irene, among other things, shares a rumour that started in the Philippines that spiked the price of eggs. No one wants that.

Her humanitarian experience in information is fascinating. Currently tracking rumours in South East Asia from her home in Melbourne, there's great insight into the actions and reactions of viral, ironic, worried, conspiratorial and genuine transmission of misinformation.

Africa Check - africacheck.org

Irene says about Africa Check, "an awesome fact-checking organisation busting all kinds of myths about COVID and everything else - they have a great podcast called 'What's crap on whatsapp' that debunks messages that are forwarded on that platform."

Irene has the maybe unenviable but fascinating job of rumour tracking during the pandemic.

Rumour tracking covid-19 - Irene Scott

Footy is the thing to do for thousands of suburbs and towns around Australia.

There's often more happening off the field as teams of volunteers administer the club, the sport and the weekly social event that rules the Australian winter.

Correction: The longest trip in the Golden Rivers Football Netball League is actually between Hay in NSW and Nullawil in Victoria at around 3 hours (that makes a six hour round trip).
