Don't wear graphic T-shirts and nikes

[PonyPrincess]

Never been backed off in my life, now they are just piling on. All happened wearing the same t-shirt. One time I literally flat bet for 10minutes on an $5 8-deck game and went to $10 (OMG!) and got the tap instantly.

It could be that you were previously identified. How do you know for sure? I have worn something like that in the past and played the part of an idiot. Seemed to work just fine.

If they hit you on that bump you were flagged coming in the door.

Yeah, I definitely was. I actually obscured the #'s a bit, because I'm paranoid about giving information out online but the jump was actually 6x more (eg. 5-30). But here's the best part, the count WASN'T positive. I just put it out because the floorwoman was inputting the bets and I wanted to get rated higher, and when they left I brought it back down before they started the new hand. But yeah I was obviously flagged, but the table was full so didn't notice the (probably) shift boss guy was standing right behind me.

But here's my take and maybe someone's who has been in this longer can come in and agree/disagree. Either dress really nice, or as bad as possible and try to avoid in between. I've had success for a while now following that with ridiculous spreads (no backoffs until just recently) and only after starting to dress more casual (or not looking like I'm homeless hah) am I getting tapped.

The silliest part is, I'm playing the worst games I've ever played and those seem to be the most protected. durrr casinos.

What do you want to bet the flyer picture has you in the same T-shirt?

In my experience (and I can't stress MY enough!), the first and most basic method used by supervisors is large or unusual bet changes. At one house, an increase of 10x previous wager is a dealer call-out! IMHO, pits probably weren't counting, and likely not even block-counting!

Also, I would even go so far as to say that your flat-betting may have worked against you, causing the jump in wager to "stick out". Plausible, though not probable.

An experienced colleague and friend of mine once told me that he prefers to dress nice, like one would dress for an office job, only slightly more casual (say, nice shirt but no tie, etc...) and adopts an "upper-middle class"-esque persona, complete with ever-changing, high-income careers! Obviously, be realistic, and refrain from simply offering-up such supportive personal information. Better yet, convincing THEM to ask about such things goes a long way. The way I see it, if they believe that your money means little to you, they might ease back a little in concentrating on how you wager.

A few thoughts that I hope are helpful. Take care, and happy hunting!

I was once "made" [by a State Police Officer] by my wearing the same piece of

unusual 'bling' that I had been wearing when I was trespassed over a year prior.

Cellini mentions in his book that the watch is one of the most often used tells. How many people wear the same watch (or even a ring) everyday regardless of how they're dressed?
