can anyone help me out here?

hi, i started playing blackjack seriously when i was only 19. i'm 20 now and won't be heading out to vegas or AC for at least 9 months (21st birthday). i have a problem. i go to casino niagra quite a bit and i even have a host. i count (K-O Preferred) but i am worried about getting barred. i go there with firends and often family. they don't know that i count and the pit bosses now are giving me tremendous heat. i guess that's understandable. how often do you see a 20 year old kid betting black and winning a ton? i go to college and this is how i paid my tuition for the past year and a half. can anyone help in my quest to get the heat off my back? what are some good cover plays or camoflage techniques? please e-mail me and in the subject refer to BJ21. thank you, i would appreciate it.

i live south of buffalo, but casino niagra is the closest casino that i can go to. i have read burning the tables in Vegas and i try to act just like a gabler. hell, i'll even play some carribean stud or let it ride. but the heat that i get is usually them standing right next to me and talking to me when i'm playing blackjack, or just 2 or three pit personnel observing me when i play blackjack. it rattles me. i'm sorry for not giving more details, but that was the first post i've done in forum of this kind.......

thanks for the response and i hope to hear some more. i don't know what to do.

PS. the reason why i picked rocky is cause is use K-O Preferred

You probably wasn't under any heat at all,you just thought you was due to lack of table experience. You may have let it bother you so much that the pit has noticed an unusual behavior.
The pit always tends to keep an eye on the black regardless of who's playing. A blind man could walk in the same casino and be watched by the pit and talked to while betting black.

One thing casinos try to totally prevent are dealer mistakes at the black chip level, which calls for more attention.
I would loosen up a bit and dont assume because you have won at a good rate you're robbing the casino and all the heat is coming down.
In time and experience you will see how devastating negative swings can be and realize it's not all gravy. Casinos know this.

Good luck,

I was there as part of a team at 18 years old!

If you have the bankroll to bet blacks then you should be able to pay for your college. If you're just betting blacks to win then most likely you don't have an edge. BUT if you have half the cash for college then you MAY have an edge if you overbet less than 200% kelly.

Anyway, I'm in a similar situation but I act like a rich young entrepreneur or the son of one. Sometimes a drug dealer depending on the country. But I act real good and only got booted twice in Vegas for spreading 1-30 blacks on the single and DD.

Sometimes I shuffletrack, Sometimes I do progression or martingale, Sometimes I just play pure dumb, Sometimes I get someone else to play pure dumb for me.

With such a small spread I assume your back counting.

Taking my minimum bet down by a half to make it 1-60 will only make me lose a few dollars less per hour. Come on, let the casino have its days.

Also true for Atlantic City, where the original minimum age was 18, but it was raised to 19 and then to 21 each time the minimum drinking age was similarly raised.

The max bet on the green tables is $500, or at least it was when I was there back in August. That makes you more visible and subject to scrutiny when you start piling up the blacks. Short sessions and table hopping would probably help, but from what I remember it would be tough to stay unnoticed for very long. Good Luck.

I have been counting and getting away with it since i was about 17 years old. I didn't play green like i do now, and i also wasn't as good as i am now. U can get away with it if u are slick enough, but i'm sure that me looking older than my age since i was like 12, helps me out big time!!!!
