I have to weigh in here.
I am a female AP. There are those on this forum who know exactly who I am, but I choose to be "one of the guys" to protect my identity.
The best part is that I have inherent cover, because just like Wave, most people assume I'm too stupid to be an AP. Twice I have been playing at a table with a male partner, and HE got the tap, even though I had more money on the felt. There have been countless times I've left a table, because I spotted another counter, but he's never spotted me even though we're raising our bets at the same time. A woman who can count? Unheard of...
Giving your wife an incentive made me laugh. As IF we're that easily manipulated. But men? Look at all the dumb things guys do for piece of ass. Posters here have actually talked about the problem they have concentrating with a pretty dealer, or a hot cocktail waitress.
To be clear, this isn't ALL men. It isn't even MOST men nowadays. And frankly, in my experience APs are less likely to be chauvinists than your run of the mill pit boss. The smartest ones realize that women can be just as good as the guys, and in some instances even better. Running a spotter/BP play? Few people suspect a female BP, and smart APs know this.
And lastly, treating your wife as an equal isn't PC. It's what decent men everywhere do every day.
