    If this is full Wonging, you absolutely don't need and shouldn't employ a 1-8 spread. Check the chapter 10 charts in BJA3 to see that, even 1-3 or 1-4 give almost identical results. The wider spread does virtually nothing for a back-counting game.

    Since you entered the game at +2 and exit at +1, your spread should be 3 to 1 or 6 to 1:

    +2: $200 (or $100 x 2)
    +3: $400 (or $200 x 2)
    +4 or higher: $600 (or $300 x 2)
    between +1 and +2: $100 or just exit.
    +1 or lower: never play

    In general, you are safe unless a freaky surveillance following you from the sky and discovering your act. In that case, he definitely will alert the nearby casinos and distribute your photo.

    The problem is I jump in at +1. With my count I have an advantage at +1 already. I use Halves and I believe Hi-lo has an advantage off +1 as well with the game I play. S17 LS DAS 82% pen on avg. So what would you suggest if I want to jump in at +1? I have run sims on +1 vs +2 and the N0 is slightly less if entering in at +1 and the EV is also higher, so its a win-win. My current strategy is a full wong in wong out strategy where i jump in +1 and out at 0.5 where it's about a break-even game.

    Also the problem with just flat betting a full wong in game, would be the N0 goes up much more than just spreading 1-4 or 1-6
