You're absolutely right that drawing attention to yourself as a card counter can be a major pitfall. Casinos are always on the lookout for advantage players, and if you're too obvious in your actions, you could find yourself being asked to leave or even banned. To avoid this pitfall, it's important to blend in with the crowd and not draw undue attention to your betting patterns.
One strategy to avoid this is to vary your bet sizes in a way that is not too extreme or erratic. Consistency is key, so try to keep your bet spread within a certain range to avoid standing out. Additionally, consider incorporating other behaviors into your play to make yourself appear more like a recreational gambler, such as engaging in small talk with the dealer or other players.
It's also essential to maintain good bankroll management to weather the variance inherent in card counting. Without a sufficient bankroll, you may find yourself unable to capitalize on your edge during positive counts or facing ruin during negative swings. Properly sizing your bets based on your advantage and bankroll is crucial for long-term success.
Lastly, it's crucial to have a solid understanding of the card counting system you're using. Mistakes in counting can lead to costly errors and diminish the effectiveness of your strategy. Practice regularly to ensure accuracy and proficiency in your counting skills.
By avoiding these common pitfalls and staying disciplined in your approach, you can maximize your chances of success when using a card counting system in Blackjack.

Always modify your wagers in accordance with the count. While placing an excessively high wager when the count is low can result in large losses, placing an excessively low wager when the count is high reduces possible winnings.
Keep your head down and realize that no system is infallible.
