The following DO and DON’T lists will help you avoid arousing the suspicion of eagle-eyed pit bosses and conscientious dealers, thereby allowing you to stay in the game and ply your skills:
DO stash chips away in a pocket or purse surreptitiously, especially when winning.
DON’T ever use a betting range of more than ten units, no matter how good the count may be.
DO range your wagers up or down gradually.
DO try to appear relaxed or mildly amused, like most people being “entertained” while on holiday.
DO bet the minimums when getting “heat” from a floor person.
DO just be yourself, basically, since it’s the easiest act to maintain convincingly.
DO confirm soft-hand totals with the dealer from time to time, in order to label yourself more of a novice.
DO change tables, pits, and even casinos frequently, to avoid becoming a “fixture.”
DO immediately leave the casino if you feel that you are under close scrutiny or suspicion.
DO feel free to play more aggressively as your trip nears its end, in other words, don’t worry so much about being barred if you won’t be around much longer anyway.
DON’T play too quickly or always seem certain of the correct plays.
DON’T be unsociable, but don’t be talkative or overly friendly either.
DON’T dress conspicuously or flash expensive jewelery.
DON’T make larger bets only near the end of the shoe.
DON’T obviously pull back a large wager and replace it with the minimum, just because the dealer decides to shuffle.
DON’T insist upon seeing every card even though you might have to crane your neck to do it.
DON’T always leave a table immediately after it fills up, then proceed to sit at an empty or single-player table nearby.
DON’T bet more than the TC justifies, merely in an attempt to divert possible pit-boss suspicion.
DON’T play too intensely, seem consumed in mental activity, or move your lips while counting.
