Thread: Losing your edge trying not to get backed off

    Sometimes a little cover can be justified, if the game is really, really good. I recently played a game that was positive off the top with a less than one deck out of six cut, where I could get heads up play most of the time, so I would use some betting cover to extend my longevity.

One thing I must say is that I have lost my edge trying not to burn out Vegas.You need to play like a lion at this game because the edge you can get is way to small at counting. You give up any of it with any amount of cover it is too much. Travel travel travel. No cover. You get asked to leave say thank you and have a good day. The backoffs are not a detrement they are a badge of honor and proof that if you are not making money in the short run you will make money in the long run. I see people trying to figure out what type of cover to use and sometimes even at low stakes. Only cover anyone should be using in casinos is the kind that won't cost you anything. Anything more than that can seep into your game and you will start to do other things that will cause massive holes that will be very hard to fix.
    I would re-titled this thread as "No cover? do it at your own risk" just like warning on cigarette's packets. O.P goes to thousand casinos all over the country but now have no place to play. Who said cover cost too much?
