Camouflage/Act for small stakes?

#1
Sorry for the multitude of posts on here, its just that as soon as i submit one, i think of two more questions. Id like to gather as much info as i can before practicing in a real casino.

ive read in a few books (dont remember which exactly, think one is by snyder) that red chip bettors dont need, and shouldnt use camouflage.But after looking around here and other places, it seems that that is untrue, as there are many reports of tiny stakes players getting 86d. so i want to know, what can i do to keep myself from getting bet restricted (AC)? i plan, at a minimum, to always take even money on my naturals, and to always stand on 16 v 10 (i plan to wong out on negative counts). should i camo my appearance a bit too? or just try to look like your average small stakes bettor? are there other betting moves i can make without totally giving up my advantage?

thannks in advance!

you dont need camo if you are playing red chip in AC, unless you are spreading up to a top bet of several hundred. AC can't bar players and I've never seen red chip player receive any kind of heat at all. since most of the $10-$15 tables are hit soft 17, you cant afford to give away any EV.

Yes they are. I did say "most". Resorts also. Not sure about the Hilton, I think they are too, haven't been there in a while. Borgata will have the most $10 tables on the weekend. (plus 1 crowded $5 table)

ur rite- my apologies to u! would you also happen to know the best time to play for my bankroll? is it better to play heads-up and get in more hands, or trying to wong at a good count? when would there be the least number of ppl around if im there from sunday to monday night?

It depends on the place. If the table MAX is $100-$200 (or less) than multiple red chips may make the pit nervous.
atlantic city, which is where the poster is going, doesn't have table max of $100 or $200. lowest I've seen is $500.

You have exactly no need for cover. Best bet for you is to backcount only, make it a matter of principle to place not even one bet without an advantage.
