On my recent vegas trip I had a bunch of backoffs and noticed several came up in this situation.
In a single or double deck game after I bet my max a boss comes over to sweat the game at the start of a new shuffle.
He's watching the cards and my every move and when I raise my bets he comes over to the table and backs me off, or tells the dealer to shuffle. I was wondering what you guys do in this spot.
Play as normal?
leave the casino?
switch tables? he will usually follow me to the other table
flat bet one unit?
flat bet the table minimum?
bet small and play badly making mistakes and betting random amounts not with the count hoping to fool them?
lower the bet spread?
What I did was lower the bet spread but still got the backoffs.
I think next time I'll try flat betting till they go away. Problem is when I do that they never seem to go away.
