    When to stay away

    Hello,
    I have been winning small but consistently at a casino not far from my house.
    i never thought winning such small amounts would raise any flags but
    on my last trip, I noticed that two older guys in suits (I know they
    work there, I don't know who they are ) were positioned at different sides of
    the casino behind empty tables watching me. I mean they were glaring at me.
    Should I stay away for a while? Am I being paranoid?
    Would they even care about a nibbler like me? I'm not even very good.

    if you have other shops around, go visit those. they are probably watching you, and you might want to lay off for a while.

    I have several casinos in my area that I frequent. There is one in particular that is the absolute best. Because it is so good with such generous rules, I have been killing them lately. I have won the last 7 times in a row that I have gone there. To end the last evening that I went, I was playing DD and put out my max bet (12 units) to get a blackjack. Nobody official looked at me funny, but I decided after I won that hand to get the heck out of there and not go back for a while. I figured that this many wins has got to mean to them that something is fishy. I rathole like crazy, but even with that I cannot hide all my winnings.
    I am like you. I want small but frequent wins at my local joints. I may win more by staying longer at each session, but I would rather play it "Shawshank Redemption" style and take out a little here and there so that in the long term it really adds up.
    I agree with mrw464 that you should go to other places if possible and not go back for a while. In fact, you would probably have been better off by stopping like I did BEFORE they have a chance to watch you like that. Of course hindsight is 20/20. It's hard to know when that is, but in my opinion, 7 wins in a row I would think seems like enough by any counters standards to play it cool for a while.
