I'm going to make a card that looks just like a BS card, color coded and everything. But if you look really closely, instead of "H" or "S" it will actually have the Hi-Lo index numbers. Hopefully the pit won't notice the difference, especially if it says "BASIC STRATEGY" at the top. Better yet, I'll put the name "PATTERSON" in huge letters on both sides. The pit critters will never suspect it.
I was playing someplace in Reno (i can't remember where), but the guy next to me tried to use a basic strategy chart that was printed out off the internet. The pit boss wouldn't let him and told him he could only use the strategy chart that can be purchased from the gift shop. Coincidentally, the chart for sale in the gift shop was for multiple deck das while this casino only had single deck nodas. I wonder how much gain a casino has over a person using that chart instead of the correct one...

It is unlikely, but not entirely inconceivable, that the casino might consider your card to be a "device," and therefore illegal.
While it is doubtful that this would hold up in court, you still could be arrested, spend a night or two in jail, incur legal expenses, etc.
Use your memory. :-)
At the table, I often leaf through my wallet to see how much money I have left. In my wallet, I have a short list of phone numbers of friends. I was pondering the other day how much information could be encoded in a phone number. I'm thinking of making my list a little longer.
the eye in the sky can zero in on your card and see exactly what is printed on it
How clever of you... Signs of a loser? Sure!
