What level do you play at?

I was just wondering what level of chips are being bet by the people on this sight who are probably more educated on blackjack than other players at the table.

its all about your bankroll, regardless of your skill (well thats not really true), but you could have over a 1% edge on the house on average, but if you only have a few grand, your not going to bet betting greens, even if your spread is only like 1-4

I bet all of the above. It depends on the situation.

Only time I've touched a purple chip to the felt is when I was 100% sure that the next card out of the shoe was an ace, because I turned it over and looked at it before it was dealt. Pretty scary, huh?

So does that make me a purple chipper? Hurrah, I'm a purple chipper!

I am playing at an Indian Casino that uses ASM's that sometimes boxes the cards (turns them upside down). The count is only slightly positive, I am at first base and am playing a low limit table because this dealer is giving excellent pen. Look at the shoe and see a boxed ace and bet the table max of $1,000.
Card comes out and dealer calls the pit who decides the card should be burned. I tell the pit that a boxed card came out last shoe and that he let it play, so why are you not letting this one play? He says because you saw it coming, which of course I lie and deny and obviously he did not believe, but still I think it should not matter. Ask for his boss who lets it play. I get a blackjack and before the shoe ends I leave because (here is where I play by my gut) something is telling me that leaving is a good idea.

if this post were done 10 months ago, i would be saying "why cant you vote for white chips", as the majestic star had $3 tables.. if only knew, i would have been counting the day i turned 21 (i didnt step into a casino until i was 22) and going full speed at the majestic with a $3-$9 spread

I wouldn't go so far as to call myself rich. It's just that I've built my bankroll up to a level that can comfortably handle large bets when I have an edge. Once your bank gets into 6 figures even small edges can require betting the table max at a lot of casinos.

I was going for average bet in your case a $3-$9 spread you would average a red chip bet each hand. Another reason is that I did not think to put $1 chips because most places I go require I bet at least $5 however now that I think of it I have seen places that allow you to bet less. As little as $2-$3, two years ago I saw a $1 table I got kicked out for having a 20-1 spread even though I wasn't card counting.
