Zee, i think Freightman may be referring to your betting.
Being consistently inconsistent is actually a good consistency.

"Sizing your bets as to appear to be raising your bets when the count is going down and lowering your bets when the count is going up. The purpose of opposition betting is to get a large spread."
TAGR, you did not say whether or not which game you play double deck or shoe or both. Opposition betting is more suitable for shoe games rather than the double deck. Because on the two-deck game by the time you make your camo bet the count may change too radically or a shuffle occurred.
My newest theory is that ShuffleMaster approachedto the casinos that have gone to bankruptcy or almost gone to bankruptcy and tell them that they can get even with card counters. Thus I feel ASM in MGM and Wynn owned properties OK to me, but all casinos owned by Harahh's don't. The same hypothesis seems to apply to small casinos, too. Not feeling random from ASM at casinos that are near bankruptcy.

“Zee, on one hand, you say don't become a regular, then you say play red chip 6 deck games often, how can you achieve both tasks at the same time?”
Bosox, I meant that you should not become a regular in the HL room. It’s easier to play and leave from a busy main floor without being noticed and moreover, when you go from playing $25 min to $10 tables, doing more of the latter, it might be easier for a card counter to get away with it.
St. Louis has about 4 casinos and I try not to play more than 1-2 short sessions at any one casino each week.
St Louis pretty good games that look great on paper, but they’ve gotten really sweaty over the last few years. I know several low stakes APs who’ve been placed into OSN or Biometrica for pretty small bet spreads. But the games are good... if you can last without detection. Good luck with that.
