Playing Smart
For all players:
- Pick a casino that has a small house advantage. This will allow you to increase the number of times you win and increase your profits.
- Don’t try to cheat.
- If you feel uncomfortable at the table, leave.
- Play with a designated amount of money. If you lose that quota then leave and go home.
- Know when it is time to leave.
- Play within the limits of your finance – be comfortable with the amount you bet.
- Disguise exactly how much money you have won but always display your losses.
- Never talk about Card Counting or Basic Strategy at the casino. If you do you may be asked to leave.

For Card Counters:

- Master Basic Strategy so that your play is automatic and instantaneous. This will allow you can put all your efforts into card counting and camoflauge.
- Play with a designated amount of money as well as a defined bet spread.
- Choose a bet spread that you feel comfortable playing with.
- Learn to be emotionless with winning or losing.
- If appropriate, then take on an act ( camofluage ) that is appropriate for your bet size and spread.  If you are going to the casino just to play Basic Strategy than you won’t need an act. If you are Card Counting and have a large bet spread than you will probably need to adopt some kind of act or invent a superstition eg. “I never win between 6:30pm and 7:00pm” or “I’ve always got to play with my wedding ring off when playing. It gives me good luck” etc.

The most important aspect to playing smart Blackjack is that you enjoy yourself.
