Concealing the Winnings

[the Stealth]

I'm sure my act is good in this area. Eventually though, we all have to go to the cashier cage. I seem to go there a lot. I can make the pit crew think I have a win of about 1/4 the amount it really is. Great, but the proof is in the puddin'. Little uncomfy about being one of so few that often visits the lonely people at the cage with lots of checks to cash (not of the welfare or payrole type either). Responses welcomed.

Do you have a wife or close friend that can go to the cage for you? But I'm not sure it is really that big of a deal. I always look/act like a loser when cashing out at the cage. I usually make a comment letting them know that I got most of my money back but not nearly all of it. Does it really matter in the grand scheme of things? Probably not but I always exaggerate my losses when talking to anyone in the casino. I can have ($500 in winnings) in front of me on the felt but I'm still telling the dealer ok, I just need to get back $300 more and I'll be even for the night.

SammyBoy, thanks for your response. However, I'm trying to take it to the next level of slyness. Been doing all the stuff you mentioned. Great reminder though. Helps me to know that I'm on the right track. Don't have a wife yet to help cash in all the loot. Nobody wants to marry a "compulsive gambler" ya know. Perception, perception. It kills me every time! An old lady gave me a hug about 3 months ago. I said, "Wow!, that's the best sex I've had in a looooong time".

I make sure though that when I'm winning a lot, I move around to different pits and pocket some excess chips. Sometimes I even cash in the chips upon entering the casino then again during the next shift on the exit. But maybe that is worse because it puts me in front of the cameras twice as much.

I just need to figure out how to change the chips outside of the casino. Haven't figured that one out yet. Nice problem to have though.

The pit adds up the chips and knows exactly whats going
on. You are better off preaching that you finally had a winning day.
Us players know that even with counting we can get creamed,
but the stupid blackjack pit crew doesn't seem to realize this,otherwise
they would just let us play and relax..

I too, am not sure that "Ratholing" is always the best way to play. Sure, if you are a mostly a Red Chip boat in a sea of Green-Black players, then squirling away a few "reds" here and there will unlikely be noticed.

Conversely, if you are a "Coloured Player" surronded by "Reds", then THEY ARE GOING TO TRACK YOUR CHIPS! Most of this is not personal, just that Dealers likely steal more than CC's EARN...in fact, let me retract the word "likely", Dealers DO STEAL MORE THAN CC's EARN!

IMHO...most "chip tracking" is to keep the Dealers honest, and has little to nothing to do with us CC's.

With that said, I DO IT TOO!

About 4-5 months ago, in Tunica, I was on a Positive Deviation...playing SD, two hands of Green were dropped to one of Red in Neg. Counts, but pressed to "Medium Green" in Pos. situations, and on both hands...all was going the way it is supposed to go! For several hours, won most Pos. bets, which in Dbl Down situations, were often payed-off in "Black".

AND I WAS (AGAIN) DRINKING BEER...LOTS OF BEER! Had to GO PEE alot, and I do mean ALOT! GREAT COVER! Drink a beer, win a few "big ones", RATHOLE a Black chip or two, and ask the Dealer to "watch your chips" while you go PEE again.

Common ploppy ploy...keep your big chips, and leave the rest to the Dealers and Cameras! But I was on a Good Run!

After several hours, I LOOKED LIKE A PRIEST IN A DAYCARE CENTER!

I finally sobered up when the Dealer asked an elderly black lady if she would like to see his holecard (jokingly), and she replied, "No, I would rather have what is in his pants"....pointing to me, but NOT at "ground zero".

In other words, if you want to impress the Ladies, stuff about 20 Black into your pants pocket.
