Card Counting Camouflage in Blackjack

Card counting in blackjack is totally prohibited in most casinos and sophisticated surveillance systems are being used by casinos to identify blackjack players who are card counting. If ever you have really worked hard to perfect the card counting system and want to try it in the casinos, there are high chances that you will be caught because you are a threat to the casino's profits.

For your first offense in blackjack card counting, the pit boss will ask you to do flat betting only. Your second offense of card counting will result to being prohibited to play any blackjack game. Your third and final offense of card counting will result to trespassing offense and you will get to jail with a fine of $50.

If you are card counting and you don't want to be caught by the casino security, the only way to evade being caught is camouflage. You can either conceal your personal identity if you have already a record or conceal your act of card counting in blackjack.

Here are some popular methods to conceal your card counting play in the casinos:

1. Know the betting progression system

Casinos may dislike card counting but they truly love players who do betting progression system because they know that this system is not very effective. Increase your bets when you win if there is low card counting situation and decrease your bets when you lose even if the card counting situation is high. Consistency on this part will prevent you from getting caught. This may not be the best way to camouflage card counting but this is absolutely a way to do it.

2. Pretending that you are already drunk

This is effective if you have a very strong alcohol tolerance but being drunk may also affect your card counting strategy due to reduced alertness. Once casinos are convinced that you are drunk, they might not suspect you of card counting. But casinos are not also stupid because if you are drunk and winning in blackjack, the pit boss will ask the waitress if you are really drinking. So just be careful with this kind of camouflage.

3. Imitate the bad moves of other blackjack players

Camouflage literally means you have to blend in to your environment. You can watch the bad moves of other blackjack players around and copy it. This might be an easy card counting camouflage but the maintaining a consistent play is kind of hard to do.

4. Pretend that you are a blackjack beginner

If you are a good actor, this card counting camouflage will work well for you. You can ask foolish questions, ask other blackjack players what to do, and do beginner mistakes on purpose. You can also pretend to be a talented blackjack player who gives lousy advice to others. You can lose hands on purpose and win when the card counting is good.

Card counting camouflages may be effective but the only ruining factor is greed. Greed is the reason why many card counting blackjack players are caught.
