    You leave when you will no longer have an advantage not after making a max bet. I think we all know this but to be clear for those that are wet behind the ears. I agree with Romes on this. if you have another casino to visit you can leave the casino but you can find other things to do for a while in the casino. I stayed out of this for the most part because it is about a DD game and there are shoes only for as far as you can drive on a tank of gas around here. I only like to comment when I feel solid about my knowledge concerning table games.

    SCG,

    I too imagined that the O.P. was describing T.S.;

    but that cannot be as they enforce the "one hand only" rule;

    and their stinky sweat all but drips drips on the tables

    if one wins almost any puny amount. Believe me, I know!

    You guys gave some great advice I appreciate that...some things I didn't even think of.

    No this is not at T.S. I haven't been there in a few years. Also TS is a huge place ...this place is on the smaller side and in the midwest

    If they didnt back you off when you where playing I wouldn't worry about them rewinding the tapes. Surveillance is worried about people that are in the casino now. If you are spread betting a good trick is to buy 2 colors of chips this allow bigger bets with fewer chips and pitbosses are visual if you are going to have more money than have it with fewer higher value chips.

    Every backoff I have ever had came as soon as I showed up on a future visit. I never got to place a bet. They were waiting for me to come back. They informed me I could no longer play BJ or any BJ variants. Now I haven't been backed off much so this is an admittedly very small sampling. As in all things there may be regional differences. I think I pay better attention to my surroundings than most so I am gone before the troops start to mount to back me off the same day. I think most are paying too much attention to the cards to read the signs. If you are practiced enough any count becomes second nature no matter how hard it was to master. I guess people just don't practice enough.

    Smartblackjack,

    You are thoroughly wrong. Try living up to your name.

    I have played coast to coast and in foreign venues for decades.

    MOST backs come on the second visit to a casino, as tapes are

    reviewed in your absence. This is especially true for trespasses.

    They review tapes all the time after you leave, especially for big winners. What are you talking about???

    One of my most recent back offs came from a store that most likely rewinded tapes, and my next visit I was given the tap.

    I think all of my local backoffs, except 1 or 2,came from regular stores where the decision came while I was off premise - the tap came anywhere from not even sitting down, to max 5 minutes.
