Hold your chips in your hand, and as you're counting, drop each chip out with your thumb into a pile in front of you. When you're finally done, push the pile past the betting line.
"How much is it? $10? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10..... I raise... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 *grab more chips* 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. What? This is not a string bet the line is right there! Now I've lost count. *pick up pile* How much is it? $10? 1, 2, 3..."
