best blackjack strategy for maximizing wins if you're counting cards.
Never tried the card swap trick myself, but I do something similar on the money side. Instead of pushing all my chips forward, I bring cash in two different denominations and color up only partway through a session. That way, if the count turns hot on a tough table like Vegas Strip Blackjack, I can bump bets without it looking like a fresh stack just appeared out of nowhere. Casinos track comps, but they also watch chip flows. Keeping your "pot" less obvious, like in a deep poker game, buys more time before the seat limit attention hits. Anyone else do a hard stop when chips get too flashy?
