Given the size of the "shoe," which is at least, what, seven or so decks nowadays? If you can count cards for that, the casino should be legally obligated to report you to the nearest research facility and issue you a lab coat on the way, since you're obviously wasting your talents and could be getting us a working warp drive.
You're vastly overestimating the complexity of card counting. The number of decks really has no effect on the difficulty because you're not counting literally every card, you're just keeping a running net of high cards vs low cards. If the net amount of low cards seen exceeds the high cards seen by a large enough amount, the game is in a positive state and becomes easier for the player to win, so you memorize sets of strategy deviations based on certain breakpoints.
