An interesting counting idea

This has probably already been thought of and done like ever idea but I'd like to hear you guys weigh in on an idea I just had.

You befriend (or get one of your team hired as) a cocktail waitress then as you're playing you get her to bring you "vodka" after "vodka" and tip her huge each time. Casually tossing blacks as if they were reds. That way when you're rated you come off as a big losing player but you get the tips back (minus a fee obv) meaning your true winrate is obscured.

The way I see it this accomplishes three things

1. Hides your winning in a way that you don't need to rathole.

2. Marks you as a big shot gambler guy (read losing player) who tips big to impress.

3. Allows you to get "drunk" at the table just drinking water but ordering vodka.

Then on the days she's not working you can win and it'll be chalked up to variance (he's gotta win sometime).

I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure casinos rate your play based on what you bet at the table, not what you tip at a waitress.

Maybe rated isn't the correct word, I mean when you finish a session you will appear to have lost money every time.

dont waitresses pool tips? If you are tipping blacks and the waitress isnt turning in any blacks she will be fired pretty quickly.

You should get your girlfriend to be the pit boss that rates you instead.

Good idea, and it will only cost her $30 a drink in taxes.

Not in America where tips are self reported.

Re: An interesting counting idea

Plus waitresses have to tip out the bartender behind the scenes. Won't work. Bad idea. Sorry.

A much better idea is to be friendly with the pit bosses outside of work and just have them push the edge on your rating and to not ask you to leave if you are an AP.

Re: An interesting counting idea

On top of the other aspects, I think constantly tipping blacks to the same waitress will get noticed and arouse suspicion way faster than simply winning at the table. If the pit doesn't notice then the camera will see you giving blacks to the same waitress sooner or later.

That's OK. Your excuse is that you're trying to bribe her for sex. NBD.
