I know some of this info is sensitive so you might not want to give advice on this. But since this site isn’t considered a bj site, I expect there aren’t many casino employees lurking here. But what do I know? Not much. Any adivce here is appreciated. And I also understand if you don’t want to give any.
I talked about my betting camo very recently, including duel ramp wagering. It was actually the first time I ever mentioned that I use duel ramp wagering (which increases volitility) but also greatly increases longevity, if done right. As a matter of fact, occasionally I post things like that and later in the day, or the next day, I question why I was so stupid to post something like that in detail. Unfortuanately on this forum, there is a time limit for edits and deletes, so when that happens as it did that day, nothing you can do. So obviously I am not going to repeat it. But it is out there.

Spreading both ways is another technique that I do sometimes talk about that isn't quite so sensitive. Let's say I am spreading $50-$400 on a $50 min table. 1-8 spread. Not huge spread, but not very difficult to notice either. Big tell will be what does the player do after finishing the shoe betting $400? After the shuffle does he revert back to $50? Huge tell!

So what if <- , at the new shuffle the player bets $125 or $150. If he win or the count begins to climb, he could re-bet that amount, if he loses the wager or the count begins to drop into the negatives, he can reduce, maybe $100 or $75 the next bet, followed by minimum wager of $50 if the trend continues.

What this means is anyone, pit or surveillance, who is watching is either going to see a spread of $125 (or $150) to $400. That is nothing....less than 1-3. OR they are going to see wagers of $50-125 if the count goes negative, again less than 1-3. They are going to have to see the counts go both directions and to the extremes in both direction (which rarely occurs in the same shoe) in order to see the FULL spread of $50-$400. And when that happens and you show your full spread, it is probably time to move on anyway.

Ok, I am getting into the danger zone of talking too much. Danger! Danger! Will Robinson! (oddly I have seen that show like once, but I like that reference). Anyway, time to make the donuts.
