Backed off small spread

[MidwestTom]

Tom, I may have missed this, but are you a dealer now or maybe have been? From some of your language and examples I wonder if you are from, what I have referred to over the years, as the GNW, or, Great Northern Wilderness??

O

Not familiar with GNW.

I think there's a lot of bad advice in this thread. In fact, there may be some downright horrible advice.

OP, you got backed off because you were counting cards. It happens. Doing things like adding cover plays, or not doing index plays, is essentially choosing to give up money in the hopes of buying longevity. You don't do that for a 1% edge for a non-professional, red-chip level player. If you were playing a 10% game, or you were a full-time black chip player, that might be a different story.

Just keep playing. Figure out if there was anything that tipped them off. The only adjustment I would even consider is not splitting tens at a place you regularly play. I spit tens at places I don't plan to play a lot, but it is fairly aggressive for a place you are regularly playing.

I strongly disagree that you should stop wonging out, stop back-counting, or do other things that cause a substantial loss in revenue.

I have quite a bit to learn. As I stated initially, I am relatively new to card counting but enjoy it big time. I have spoken with a few of my close friends in regards to what ive posted here, and everyone seems to be saying the same thing for the most part.

a) I regularly played at the casino with my card.
b) Back counting on the 4 deck quarter game (where I split 10s *one time*) and made the pit go hmm.

Evidently they can add "comments" to your card file which probably added up over time. As I said, need to research quite a bit more about covering my play and just how to approach things differently in general. Thanks so much guys for your input!

So I was backed off at a very large casino in Minnesota. I was shocked when I was told "No more, you are flat betted at table minimum". The reason I was shocked is because I was only doing a $10-50 spread. I have played at this particular casino MANY times before using the same 5 unit spread and yet, for some reason they considered me a "highly skilled player". I do NOT consider my game to be advanced at all really. Has anyone else experienced something so silly like this, and furthermore, why the hell would a massive house like this care about my piddly amounts? Thanks for the responses in advance.

This reeks of TI.
