    newtobj: Formula for success

    If I watch a table from the beginning of the shoe and then jump in when the count is high, and then leave when the count goes negative can I assure success? Also will the pit people be suspicious of this? If so, what is a better way to implement a counting strategy in a real casino?

    Assure success? No.
    Good chance of success? Yes.

    Maybe. Depends on a how you comport yourself. What you are talking about is commonly refered to as backcounting or Wonging. It is a recognized way to play; the best way to play if you are able. Some casinos prohibit mid-shoe entry to a game in progress.

    You can never assure success in a fair game. Odds are in your favor in that scenerio though. The pit will be suspicious if you walk from table to table doing this very thing...particularly if putting green to black+ down. My strategies for wonging include:
    1) always stay at a table long enough to order and receive a drink. Don't drink it, discretely dump it after you get up. Generally it does not take long to get a drink in most casinos (downtown Vegas being the extreme exception).
    2) when moving from table to table, occasionally use an ATM, whether you need to or not. This makes it appear that you are simply resupplying.
    3) make mindless chatter with the table...particularly anyone drinking and having a good time.
    4) as you likely have read here or there, cover with a ploppy bet occasionally - i.e. take insurance once, double something that appears stupid (double 12 against 17 is a good one), etc. Doing any of those things once in a session will normally peg you as harmless and if done at minimum bet, will not eat into return significantly.
    Good luck.
