      While that is true anon is fucking retarded and they don’t kick you out for counting cards mentally, only if you are using a device to assist you.

      Edit: everyone downvoting me and responding really believes what they show in movies huh?

      No, there are professional card counters that the casinos are aware of that they let play even knowing they are counting cards because it attracts other people to the table. As long as they are not raking in tens of thousands of dollars in a single night they do not kick out card counters.

        Uhhh… yes they do. The people watching the cameras all count cards so they know when you’re doing it. If they see you betting along with the count they will ask you to leave.

        No, they’ll kick you out for doing it without a machine too, fuck I mean there’s a movie on it.

        But I call bullshite because they made card counting useless by playing with multiple decks.

            Na. 3-4 deck just means your plus count needs to be higher before your betting weight should be going up. You also need to play more hands over time for it to average out too.

            So if your waiting for +8 or +10 before leaning, you would wait for +20 or so.

            It’s when they use 6+ decks then it kind of becomes moot.

                So if your waiting for +180 before leaning, you would wait for +4000 or so.

              How do you count with automatic shufflers though? Even if you count one hand, the next one one you’d have to reset…
