I'm a VERY small time gambler. I like to play on the odd weekend or two. I finally understood HI-LO well enough to try it at the tables. I only play on a $10 table, and my max bet was $25. I didn't want to be accused of being a card counter before I even got started, so huge spreads were out of the question.
Anyways, long story short: I made $400 in one hour just by knowing when to raise my bet to $25 with a running count of 22, and knowing when to go the the bathroom when the count hit -17.
I even managed to "dodge" the pit's stare when I didn't take insurance with a count of 24. I was sitting with a 13, so I thought they might get suspicious (Yes, I guess I was paranoid).
Anyways, again, thanks for all the info you guys post here.
