![]() ![]() With that all added together the life for a modern card counter is grinding out for comps and very low player advantage for very long times. Then in addition betting big at high limit tables is going to be more carefully scrutinized as well. ![]() This all eats into their advantage substantially. They want to appear like someone that does not know how to play basic strategy and raises and lowers their bets based on superstition (there's a lot of them). They don't vary their bet that widely and make purposeful bad decisions to make it appear they are not keeping a count. So the people that are left counting have to avoid heat by "camouflaging" their actions. So they know when the deck is positive and if you are always betting big when that happens you will be detected. It is not hard especially since all these people do all day is look at cards. Security personnel and even dealers keep counts. Behavior like this will get you detected. The way to be maximally profitable is to vary your bet very widely depending on how positive the deck is. Tables that have hand shuffling of 6-8 decks cut the deck and reshuffle with 2 decks remaining or so. Casinos employ methods such as continuous shuffling machines that make counting impossible. Also "penetration" into the deck is important because the less cards there are remaining in the deck the probability of you getting the cards you want (positive count big cards) is higher. ![]() The whole premise of card counting is to vary your bets where you are betting more when the count is in your favor, and less when it isn't. Card counting is romanticized but really it is almost impossible to get away with now (while making any meaningful money). ![]()
