wrong place right timing
I would think many shoes can come back from negative territory. The deeper the cut the more likely this could happen.
Don Sch. covers when to leave a shoe for a better opportunity.
It seems the issue for many is what if the casino is crowded and you are playing all at the same table and do not want to appear to leave to often. This sounds more like a time issue?
If one were to know the percentage of shoes that become:
tc -1
tc -2
tc -3
tc -4
and picks the tc -X they wish to leave this does not quite help us because you may face back to back bad shoes. Is one willing to leave back to back shoes?
Another issue is would one be willing to leave after just a few hands?
Probably a reasonable answer is to leave between tc -2 to tc -3 with at least 2 decks played. Leave when a civilian would leave ie, dealer bj, dealer A under bj, pushed bj, lose a double, lose a split, push 20, dealer pulls multiple card 21, losing 3 hands in a row, phone call, player lights cig, you light cig, a good looking person walks by and you give chase. Then just decide how often you think you can get away with this. How often do other players take a break? How do the players, dealer or pit react when you do? Is there a lot of pressure to play or give up your seat?
For camo one should probably not employ the same strategy over and over in a session at the same casino. Always entering tc 1 and always leaving at tc -1 being an example, mix it up. This is why I mention above a range of exit tc's and examples of specific loss or situation triggers.
