I am new to card counting. I will be starting with a bankroll of between $5,000 and $10,000 after I am able to do perfect play with, at bare minimum, I18 in a home practice setting playing with a shoe. I have absolutely no idea how to effectively cover myself, though. From how people post here, on forums, on videos, and everywhere, it seems like just about everything gets you thrown out, and it actually makes me wonder how people even make money doing this. The list of things I've been told can easily get you kicked out...
Backcounting/Wonging
Bet spreads
Splitting tens
Doubling softs, especially soft 20s
Doubling hard twelves
Surrendering 15 (basic strategy?)
And various other combinations of actions.
So what can I do that can actually generate money at the blackjack table that *doesn't* get me kicked out? My living location only has me within a 1-3 hours drive of 10-15 casinos, so it would be a pain in the ass to get kicked out of all of them. Any advice for starting up?
My bankroll makes me desire a playstyle of simply Wonging in and out while flat betting, but apparently excessive Wonging leads to a lot of heat. Do you think bet spreads would actually be more inconspicuous? Obviously, as a card counter, you kind of have to pick your poison (unless you're using team play). So what should I do?
