Creating paper Losses

The pit likes to see you lose around 1.5% to 2% of your total action. If your long term EV is +0.75%, then you need to rathole around 2.5% of your action to make your player's card look right.

That means if you spread say, 25-to-250 with an average bet size of $50, at 90 hands per hour you need to rathole around $125 per hour, even though your EV may be $35/hr. An average player with that kind of action should lose about $85 per hour.

My favorite store gives win-loss statements for slot play only

I have known players who buy-in with enough to get black, red, and green, then immediately rathole some green at the very start of the session or on their first toilet break.

Thanx

Thanx guys

I also agree that you would probable just have to hide your EV and if cought it could look bad. The last two times I went to this casino I got really good runs so I felt like I needed to hide some of it. What I did do was every now and then was color up a small amount +-200 then the dealer sees it as cheap change and does not even tell the pitboss then I just egerly put it in my pocket like any other gambler.

In the U.S.A. "color-ups" require the presence of a floor-person, [generally if tiny chips, e.g. $5 are converted to medium sized chips, e.g. $25 this requirement is waived.]

whenever someone comes up to the table with black

sneak a few of your own off the table. Otherwise just sneak a few hundred in green off the table at each bathroom break or right before you color up.

In this instance, have you ever tried just leaving your Red as a compromise--taking Green & Black with you?

No, but I'll try it next time. Thanks for the idea.

I'm contemplating, in a casino known for the ultimatum you were presented with by the dealer, which is the preferred technique:

a.) To take your whole stack with you, and only when presented with the ultimatum, leave the Red only.

b.) Upon getting up from the table, automatically leave the Red only.
