Still early in my playing career and the thought of longevity has always been on my mind. Last thing I want to happen to me is getting blacklisted all over the country too soon. Im starting to think of some out of the box ideas that maybe some people can comment on and if there begins to be too much information on this thread, ill ask Norm to delete it.

But right now im thinking of something that I believe could buy me some longevity. My idea is this. Most 'counter catchers', pit boss and surveillance personell look for a 'spreading' of bets from minimum to maximum, sometimes as low as a 1-12 to as high as a 1-40 or 1-50 etc. My idea is this, what if I just backcount until +2 and flat bet 2x300 and compliment that with an aggressive hit and run strategy with no more than 1 hour in each casino? I would never show a spread in my bets and because im backcounting I dont even need to spread and I can just flat bet all the way through the shoe. Also a bet value such as 2x300 gives me a nice healthy win rate as well. Or should I just employ a 1-2 spread and go 2x150 at +2 and 2x300 at +3 and higher? Surely 1-2 spread wont scare any of the pit bosses either. The only downfall to not spreading is the N0 is a lot higher, but I dont mind playing a couple more thousand rounds if it's gonna add another 5-10 years in play.

Thoughts?
