Hey, new to CardCounting here. I've been reading all the usual books, listening to podcasts, and I'm still in the hard-core practice phase. I was wondering if anyone could recommend any literature or give specific advice on strategies for identity and getting player cards in different names and cashing out. The specific do's and don't etc.
My long term goal is to do a two-person gorilla strategy with my wife, where she comes in and makes the big bets. We are not ready yet, but we have a trip soon where we'll just be doing some low stakes practicing. Still I'm thinking long term and we're restricted from traveling too far from our home, so I want to make things last as long as possible. Some specific questions I had:
If you get an ID under a fake name, do you list your real address for comp mailing purposes?
If you cash out a large amount, but less than $10,000, and you were playing under a fake name, will you have a problem at the cage? Or do they completely look the other way and not ask for an ID if you're under 10K?
If it's not a problem to cash out under another name, can you cash out 9K under one name, then an hour later cash out another 9K under another name? Or is that a stupid move?
I know if you make multiple bank deposits under 10K you're looking for trouble, but in the casino, if you cash out say 9K, then 25 hours later cash out another 9K will they care or would they start to give you heat in some way for structuring?
And lastly, suppose we have a successful weekend and my wife (the "big player") wins 15K, if she goes to one cashier and cashes out 8K and I go to another window and cash out 7K, will they want to know how/ where/ when I got those chips? If so, and I'm sure the amount varies from casino to casino, but at what amount to they start asking questions?
