Opposition betting usually means betting increasing amounts as the count goes further negative (in very tiny units) and then switching to your real unit size when you reach a certain advantage and flat betting while the count rises and either leaving it out there or increasing your bet further as the count falls but you still have an advantage until the count drops back to neutral and you pull your money off the table.

It requires a much larger bankroll because you are intentionally betting sub-optimally. Your EV/100 may be unchanged but variance will be much higher....but it does enable you to get down huge spreads. The problem with this is that it works good to fool human observers but not very effective at fooling a computerized evaluation.
But if you manage to fool the eye, he will not likely be inclined to enter your data into a computer program for the purpose of evaluating your play. Granted, sometimes house policy may oblige him to do so, based on the amount of your wagers, but other than that, there is a good chance of escaping evaluation.
