Bank Roll & Cash Flow

A real pro would not "depend" on waiting for a negative count. He'd be prepared to go the distance.

I always wait for negative counts to take a bathroom break. In fact, I use that excuse to get out of negative decks almost 75% of the time. If there are a lot of negative decks, the dealer/players probably think I had some bad Chinese the night before :grin:

Incidentally, I had a "failed" bathroom break last weekend. Played a shoe game with one other guy at the table. Count was very bad halfway through. took a bathroom break. Dawdled. Walked out of bathroom, saw shoe still wasn't finished took leisurely stroll around pit, noticed that both the dealer AND the player were looking at me. Circle back around, find table, sit down, they were worried that I had forgotten where my table was (common problem I guess!).

Unfortunately, the guy was so superstitious that he stopped playing entirely while I was in the bathroom.

I was playing one time when this guy comes up to the table and is like where is my money?? I was sitting here....etc the dealer looks and him and is like no you weren't you were playing over there (points). needless to say the guy was plastered and the casino had to be loving it.

Was that in Vegas? If so, it might have been me! I like to use that technique for backcounting tables. Sometimes I’ll walk up and place a big bet, then as the dealer is dealing the first round I will say something like “Where are my chips?! I left them right here when I went to the bathroom!” The other players will chuckle and tell me that I wasn’t sitting at this table. For the next few (positive) hands I’ll look around the pit confusedly. Once the shoe turns cold I’ll say “Oh damn, my table is over there!” and stumble away. It works every time. :joker:

I've taken a bathroom break and returned to find a new dealer,and all the old players gone.It can be a bit disconserting.
