According to Blaine one has to camouflage a big play in many different ways. It is a whole scenario going on behind. “Most card counters play consistent, predictable, they’re like robots. I try to use instincts when I sense I’m being watched. I hit them big, get out of there, and they just think I got lucky” states Blaine. But it is always important to stay under the radar. When someone is winning, the casinos want to find out, who the guy. And one of the first things they do is to try to check him in the computer software. However Blain is in the blackjack card counting “business” for 35 years already, report gambling websites online. But the casinos have never find out anything in their computer software about him. Unlike guys who are banned from every casino in the world, like Blaine’s friend Nicky, he has always been successful in hiding his identity.

Nicky is one of those people that can be called passionate card counters. He is developing blackjack card counting strategies for more than 40 years and during the 1990’s he says that he made a strategy that goes down to science. The main problem was that it was too good not to be noticed, report online gambling sites in the US. Another was that he soon became famous in gambling circles, so that he couldn’t even walk in front of the casinos without being noticed.

Then a hat.” Says Nicky adding that Halloween is the greatest occasion for him as once he put his arm in a sling pretending that he was one-armed. He once made USD 300,000 on a holiday when he successfully hide his identity.

Now when he is retired from the lending business he uses the winters to spend some time in Aruba where he plays in 11 casinos. And as he reports he still hasn’t been caught there. How does he do this? Well he sets his watch on 1 hour and 15 minutes game. When the clock buzzes he stands up and leaves the table immediately without taking into consideration how up he is at that moment. As he adds it is the only measure that he can take in order to stay anonymous for the casinos.
