Securing common chips for home cash game.

[MattHatter]

Hi there,

I'm getting a NL cash game going here on weekends of small stakes. About $100 buy in recommended. It is a friendly home game. No rake, nothing provided, BYO whatever, etc. And friends of friends are welcome to play.

The chips I have are the super common 'dice' set. As I wont always know/trust the players I am concerned with ppl bringing chips into the games. I will be responsible for cashing ppl out.

What would be the best way of securing/marking the chips?

There is no recess in the chip for stickers.. but they would work well after they began to wear a bit.. cause if someone brought in a chip with a new sticker.. it would be obvious.

How about etching or stamping? would this be better? Is there any easy way to do this?

It's probably been covered here before but a decent way to 'secure' the most common chips wouuld be of value to many players.
