Cover (blackjack)
The use of various camouflage techniques to disguise the act
of counting. It could include anything from the use of the wrong
playing strategy or apparently improper bet sizing to very sophisticated
maneuvers designed to fool casino personnel who may be attempting
to discover whether or not a player is counting cards. Used
by counters to disguise the fact that they are counters from
casino personnel, such as "cover bet" and "cover
plays".
