Like an "Observer" from Fringe.

It is in reference to a scene in a Woody Harrelson movie 'White Men Can't Jump' - We Goin Sizzler

Why the hell not. Play it like some progressive betting strategy and put some of the "win" out there if the count warrants. Many ploppies increase their bet after a win.

EDIT:

I wanted to edit this because I realized the my wording may come off not as intended. My point is really that you should not let the desire to increase your bet when warranted be dictated by fear. For longevity I think the more you can be "random" in your actions and be perceived as a regular player the more longevity you will have. Some shoes I may progressively bet into the warm and hot. Others I will let my winning hand pay for the second hard. And as much as I hate it I have even flat bet an entire shoe even when in the hot because I just felt a feeling and I had won so many hands in the negative that I was up and about to leave. I just let the negative count wins carry me in that instance.

Now mind you I have only one or two places to play within driving distance... so ill do things that are not the best long term but then again I am more of a part timer.

It sounds like you play a very intelligent game in terms of longevity at the few places you have to choose from. If it's been successful for you, I wouldn't change a thing.
