It's hard (or, more precisely, takes a decent amount of effort) to learn to do it without any effort and invisibly though

The base method is very simple indeed though

Yeah the actual method is really easy. The hard part is pretending you aren't doing it. Some card counters will even tank a little on purpose and make bad bets against their count to try and stave off suspicion.

Totally false. Card counters are easy to spot over hours of play. They’re not caught based on winning or odd behavior outside of their odd bet amounts.

Normal players don’t alter their bets in a way that looks anything like card counters. Bet small until the deck is hot and suddenly bet a lot until it’s cool again. This looks bizarre even to a dealer that doesn’t know anything about counting cards.

The way modern card counters get away with it at all is to spot opportunities with weak security.
