Hi. From my readings I am understanding that the way casinos stereo type counters (by looks that is) are:
White male. Young. Casually dressed. American (As opposed to say obviously looking asian). Thin (Instead of fat). Quiet. Doesn't talk much with the other players or dealer or pit boss.
So if one is white, I suppose makeup would be the only way to solve that correct?
Young? Well how much is young?
Casually dressed can be fixed I suppose. Dress either like crap or a nice 3 piece suit. Sound right? Eye glasses would probably be a poor choice correct? As glasses tend to make you "look" smarter right?
American? Does this mean anyone other than asian or any other obvious facial feature? What does "American" mean anyway?
I suppose that since being quiet is bad, one must work on their chatting skills while counting.
Being thin? How does a pro counter go from skinny to fat without a body suit?
So is wearing dingy clothes and not shaving at least a small help in dodging this stereotype? I've heard that having a beard is actually bad. I thought it would be good though, as it looks like you aren't so "clean cut" and "smart".
