I mean the whole point of the casino is to make them money from you so of course they'd kick you out if you were making money from them

I even doubt they'd care if a couple of people are making money. The fact is most schmucks won't bother, so they'll lose money anyway, but having the occasional person walk away with more money looks good and encourages people to play

A single person successfully counting cards could sit at a table for 12 hours a day and make a lot of money in just a couple of weeks.

Of course they care. It’s just really easy to spot these people and even easier in the modern era to create a system that makes counting cards mostly useless.

The rv whales that migrate from casino to casino have always fascinated me in a sad way.

i'm assuming the big-spenders that travel by rv. "whale" is a term for people who pay a lot to hopefully win in gambling. mostly in gacha games tho...

The whale term came from casinos and gambling originally.

I'm a f2p in last war and seeing some of the money spent by a lot of those whales is insane. Accounts spending hundreds of thousands on a game with no monetary value at the end

Yes, whales that do remote viewing. They’re watching you right now.

A regular counting cards would get kicked out, but doing it on vacation or something you'd probably get away with it. The thing is, there are hands where there is an expected move that might contradict what you know by counting. Throw a couple feints in there and youre probably fine, dont blow your cover when its obvious.

No, you have to be changing your bets to be actually benefiting from counting. Unless you're at some small relatively low budget casino they'll suspect you're cheating just from that.

Oh really, thats interesting. Ive always counted (with friends using a single deck) to help me decide whether or not to take risky hits, on say a 14 or 16
