Parlay vous?

I have been playing using the conservative approach of only increasing my bets after a win, and only decreasing my bets after a loss.

Is this too conservative for the red or light green player?

Absolutely. A red/light green player shouldn't need to use any expensive camo moves at all. Just play a strong game, try to stay under the radar and avoid anything that will make your play look too suspicious. At that level you really can't afford to be making too many misplays.

I completely concur

Mercy or Merci

That confirms what I've started thinking. I am going to AC this weekend. I'll give bolder play a try. I want the casinos to say "mercy" not "merci" when I leave!

Pillaging

Your comment reminds me of a woman playing at Quil Ceda in WA state who absolutely freaked out the PB, playing two spots up to $300-400 per hand while maintaining a exuberant demeanor throughout, saying things like "time for some burning and pillaging." I hadn't yet caught on to TKO, so I don't know if her play on the front end of the shoe was actually appropriate for a slightly negatve to neutal count, but the seemingly erratic betting and boisterious langauge had the PB literally cowering. It was great fun to play my game underneath all of the commotion.

Disguising your spread with betting 2 or 3 units off-the-top (presuming the game is decently playable) is well-considered, but betting as much as she was, is only for a D. P. <"DISadvantage Player">

Only cover I'd use at red-chip levels is waiting to wong out until you lose rather than as soon as the count tanks (especially if you've just won a max bet or big multi-bet hand).
