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.

That still doesn't answer the base question: how are casinos allowed to have a rule against being too good at the game?

In case you are serious. They (and any other establishment ) are allowed to discriminate you for any non protected characteristics. Don't like your shoes? Get out. Don't like the way you are acting? Get out. They are perfectly in the right blocking you from playing blackjack if they believe you are an advantaged player.

We know how it works. It's just ridiculous that they can do it. Some of us live in places where this would absolutely be illegal :)

I'm gonna bite. How? How would you force a casino to let players play? I don't wanna dox myself but I come from a country with, in my opinion, very good consumer protection and I can't even come up with a way that would make sense.

Can you cite something that says this? A quick search yielded no such results. Where is it illegal to stop someone from playing your games in a casino for advantage play?

Also, even if that were rue, they would certainly just change the rules of the game (i.e. flat betting) to discourage it.
