Considering sitting down and only playing positive counts. Figure I'd be making bets close to 50% of the time. Anybody doing this? Would likely be playing 2 spots, 2-4 units each spot, gives me a 0:8 spread. How much heat is this going to draw?
That's an idea. I was in a shop recently because I had a $25 free slot play. The place was busy with four pits. Good DD rules, but 50-60% pen. I didn't see any reason to play. I was checking pen on differnt dealers when I noticed that mid-shoe entry was allowed. I started wonging DD shoes. I didn't sit down, just moved around like a true wonger. When the count got to +2, I approached the table and put my chips in the circle as close to third base as I could get. I played a few hands and picked up my chips and moved when the count tanked or when the shuffle came. The players didn't always like it, and I got one or two looks from pit critters, but I logged a small win. I wasn't planning on ever returning as I can find much better games, but it was interesting while it lasted. I don't know if this helps the OP or not. Depends on the size of the casino and how busy they are.
I liked the idea of not cashing in chips. That way you can just wong in with chips without pit coming over to verify your buy-in. Sometimes the dealers will get in one more quick hand while you're putting your cash out on the table too, but if your chips are in the circle, they have to deal you in.
