You will NOT get banned for winning. Most casinos will treat you very nicely and shower you with comps to come back and play even if you take $250K from them in one weekend! You are like a walking bill board advertisement to them. A big winner is welcomed, especially welcomed back. So keep on winning. You are in a great position and I hope your voodoo system keeps working!

Casinos only dislike the card counters. It's the only proven system that beats them in the long run. Win or lose a card counter (someone who increases their bets when ratio of high cards to low cards goes up) can be banned from playing BJ (but only BJ, casinos will encourage a backed off AP to keep gambling at any other game but BJ).

I'm a rated player at my favorite casinos and the more experienced dealers know I'm an AP player and so do most of the pit bosses. I win consistently but bet only $25 to $150 per hand. They let me keep playing so far (probably because I'm an attractive asian woman and a good tipper) but I've been warned in a friendly fashion to "be careful and not bet too much" by the dealers. I'm sure the minute I go to high limits and start pushing out $1,000 bets they will back me off.

I've also had dealers defend me at the tables when the floppies start ripping at me. This one time an old woman starts calling me crazy for hitting 12's against a dealer 16. I win the hand and "save the table". The dealer tells the old woman that I'm a very good player and I know when to hit the 12 against the 16 and when not to (the dealer stopped short of calling me a counter, but it was implied in her comments). I had played with this dealer 5 or 6 times before and she knows how I play. Even though I prefer not to have the other players know I'm a counter, it made me feel vindicated. I'm always getting picked on by other players.
Are you Susie from the counters' table? If you are, I like to let you know you are a legend from what I heard from the dealers.

Susie and her husband are an young Asian AP couple that keep winning at my local casino and did not get banned and are featured in my casino stories.

You probably don't use the Balanced ZEN count like I do. Zen is great for Double Deck play if you use the index plays you can win with good rules, great penetration and not have to spread as much as 6 deck.

The Zen indexes are in the Casino Verite software:

They are also in Arnold Snyder's Blackbelt in Blackjack book (my favorite book on BJ) in page 316.
Sorry, I just pulled your leg. Of course you meant to say "hitting 12's against a dealer 6", not "hitting 12's against a dealer 16".:)
