Australia Casino Betting Methods
Longevity
An interesting by-product of this method is being able to obtain a larger betting spread-because you're not viewed as a threat. The beauty here is that the larger betting spread can then be used to make up the cost of the camouflage. Not to mention the fact you've also bought yourself countless more hours in which to ply your trade. Pretty ingenious, isn't it? Of course, we shouldn't all start making the same wrong moves, for then the entire charade would lose its luster. A more in-depth description of what Ian Andersen calls the "Ultimate Gambit" is outlined in Burning the Table in Las Vegas. As well, Don Schlesinger's Blackjack Attack can be used as a guide in determining what deviations to choose and which ones would best suit your style, bankroll, and psyche.
This type of camouflage comes at a price, but surprisingly not at the price one might expect. Win rates for employing some of these plays on a consistent basis aren’t much off from the win rate established by playing perfectly, and deviating only when called for. The trick is picking deviations that don't have a large negative cost-that when executed isn’t giving up a lot of expected value. But the plays you pick must be those that come up with enough regularity to put forth the camouflage you're trying to lay. A true balancing act, if you take a step back and look at it all. But one well worth it if you're in need of beefing up your cover.
So who really needs this degree of camouflage? Certainly, if you're playing black and up you qualify, and will stand to gain by using it. Red chippers won't need it, and those of you playing quarters fall somewhere in the middle. A quarter players with a good act who wears out the soles on his best pair of walking shoes probably won't need it. But if there's only one boat floating in the nearby river, or you've been getting a lot more heat than you can ever recall getting in the past, this might be time to give such camouflage some strong consideration.
Time-and Place-Related Camouflage
In this section, let's talk about what you can do to minimize exposure in terms of physical presence. Sometimes scrutiny will arise from wearing out your welcome, or from being a repeat visitor a few days or weeks or months too soon, or simply because one casino is linked in some way with another that already had the full court press on you to begin with.
Hit and Run
Obviously, this doesn't apply if you're in a locale with only one or two casinos. But if there are more than a few in which to play, there's no reason why you need to spend too much time under anyone roof. Put on your best pair of walking shoes and keep moving. Granted, some games are not worthy of play for whatever reason (rules, penetration, etc.), but anywhere several games are available, there's no reason to wear out your welcome at anyone joint. I can't overemphasize the importance that you keep moving if the locale you're in allows for it.
Different Shifts
Plan your trip, as much as possible. Again, if you're in a locale like Las Vegas and Australia, make note of where and when you play so that a second sweep through those same casinos can occur on another shift. With so many games available, it's conceivable to log many hours and not play in any one place more than once or twice.
Also, avoid playing through shifts, if possible, as your exposure doubles. This applies in all casinos. Day shift starts anywhere between 10:00 A.M. and noon, and ends between 6:00 P.M. and 8:00 P.M. Personnel on swing shift come in immediately following, and last until between 2:00 A.M. and 4:00 A.M. Graveyard workers then arrive, spanning the early-morning hours until 10:00 A.M. to noon. Ideally, you should be nowhere in sight when one shift ends and another one begins.
