Date: January 4th, 2013 2:30 AM Author: Dun resort background story bros live 10 min drive to a casino. they have 6 deck hand shuffle. how difficult to learn to count cards, to be able to win a bit of money? and how about how long? i read bringing down the house, but am certainly no mit genius, but i'm relatively smart in math - 4 on ap calc, and 750 math sat back in the day. the tables in the regular room were 15-1000, and high roller was 100-6000.

but to actually win consistently, you are probably going to need to start with a very good game (deep cut and vegas rules), which is probably unlikely -- where is the casino? |

Date: March 23rd, 2015 1:30 PM Author: Light Lay It is really hard not to be noticed doing it. The whole point of counting is that it sometimes suggests that you should do something different than basic strategy. The dealer is always counting and always knows basic strategy says you should do A and the count says you should do B. If, when those differ, you do B even a few times, the dealer knows what you're doing. They may let you get away with it for a while, especially at lower limit tables, but they won't let you walk away with big money.
People sometimes draw it out a while by periodically ignoring the count when they think somebody is watching them or by moving around from pit to pit and casino to casino frequently, but ultimately it is an awful lot of work for a relatively small amount of money, and the money is still by no means guaranteed.
If you want to make money on cards, you need to get really good at poker. |

What made it work back in the day was the team concept and large $$ backing it up. |
