Cards counter get exposed when they reveal their bets spread and team play is a good way to avoid that. Years ago when I was a member of a cards counting squad we rarely got backed off, and we were buckin up against good double deck and my favorite 4 decks shoe game, hey hey.

True, bet spread IS the big tell. That is why my longevity is based on a style that eliminates that. Short sessions and exiting after showing the spread rather than retreating back to the smaller wager which is the REAL tell. Lots of players raise bets. Players losing and chasing losses. Players "chipping up" while winning, Progression bettors. Retreating back to the small wager at the shuffle is the big tell.

Team play was a thing for a while. But it became too well know, in large part due to the MIT team books and movies. It just is not that effective anymore. casinos know what to look for. There are other team play styles more effective that that big player call-in you are talking about. One of the things the casinos are on the look out for is who is at the table when a player sits down betting big. THAT is one of the ways they busted some of the MIT teams. So to avoid that a team has to have many, many different players, especially the spotters so the same spotter isn't already at the table when a big bettor sits down.

I don't have much experience with a 4 deck game. I think it was my second to last year in Atlantic City, which would have been 2008 or maybe a year before 2007, a 4 deck game opened at Tropicana for a few months. It was a great game compared to the 8 deck AC rules at the time. And within weeks, it was like a card counter convention with players fighting for the limited seats. The game only lasted a couple months. That is the only 4 deck game I have ever encountered.

I was recruited for teams at least twice. Another top, long running team claims they were recruiting me that I was not aware of. I turned down all offers.

There is a clear trend that has developed now. All of KewlJ's implied associates are turning out to be other invented characters in his years of lies. ...RIP

You have to figure about how after all these years of claiming that he has worked with this or that "AP," that this or that "AP" knows what happened to him here or there (including his lie about how various "APs" have contacted him about his fictitious backrooming incident after hearing about it), the only thing verified about him by multiple actual persons is that he has played a little red and green blackjack in the company of a sugar daddy.

THAT (to use an UNKewl introductory intensifier) says it all.

By now if there were any truth to any of what he claims something other than verification for his being a male prostitute would have come out.
