I guess I could play longer sessions at lower spreads but the wife needs me home for dinner!
Teach HER how to cook. Or buy her a cookbook. Or give her some of that extra money that you'll be making, so she can go OUT to eat. :grin:

any suggestion ?
You won't fool the eye if you play too long. Short sessions are the best tool, along with back counting and quick in and outs. Play long enough or press real money at high counts, enough that they review your play and they will suspect/know if you are counting. You really are not only fooling the pit critters, they are not your primary concern. How many cameras are one the table at most casinos?

Yo, those are all good ideas, cover can only effectively prolong the period fo time you can play. Ultimately, if they are onto you, theres nothing you can do to stop them from IDing you as a card counter because you HAVE TO INCREASE you bet in some way in order to make money. at this point it cover doesnt even apply, so cover only applies to them suspecting you in the first place

The only things you can do is deture them from suspecting you in the first place, or making them question themselves before they show you the door, and all of those things work well enough.

Id rather drop covers plays and buy in at the craps table so I can spread to 3 hands than play no cover and play 1 or 2 hands cause thats all i can get away with whiel playing shorter sessions

1. Whenever the dealer busts, say, “Wow, all us ploppies sure did good on that one.”

2. Split 5s and double down on the split, regardless of the hand.

3. Ask the waitress for a 7-Up with an olive.

4. When the dealer says “you’ve got 6 or 16,” ask her if you have to tell her which one you want it to be.

5. When the dealer offers insurance, ask what the deductible is.

6. In Vegas, ask the dealer if the Donny and Marie show is topless.

7. Ask if you can raise your bet on the river.

8. When the dealer tells you not to touch the cards, ask if you can lick them.

9. Wear a t-shirt that says “I don’t go to MIT, and I don’t even know what the letters stand for.”

10. Ask the other players if anyone counts cards, and if so, would they please keep you posted.

11. Complain loudly that you’ve lost so much money playing blackjack that you had to sell your kids to a medical school.

12. Ask the PC if he can let you know when you’ve got enough comps for an omelette.

13. Ask if it’s okay to bluff.

14. Tell everyone you’re only playing because all the seats are full at the Casino War game.

LMAO If the purpose of this list is to be funny, you have succeeded. If this is not meant to be tongue in cheek, you have serious problems that need to be addressed ASAP.
