[QUOTE="lonegunlawyer, post: 1559032, member: 40282"]Ok, only because it appears Detecto doesn't mind. You are correct in that counting is not illegal, however, if a casino catches you, or even suspects, counting, you will be kindly escorted off property. You are also right in that it is not easy. Working alone, even should you get the cards in your favor, you can still lose. The best method is the group method pioneered by the MIT group. This is because you have a counter at 4-6 tables (betting $10-$25 per bet) like running your own casino within the casino as I like to think. When a table turns favorable, your big player comes along and puts the big money down ($500-$1,000 per hand) hoping to catch the black jack (this is where the player really gets paid - 1 1/2 times bet). When the table turns cold, the big player leaves and waits for the next hot table. When I say hot, I mean favorable count for the player (more high cards - 10, J, Q, K, A compared to low cards). Again, counting is not easy for many reasons (another discussion for later), but should you ever do this alone or as a team, the best times to do it are when big events are in town, especially fights because everyone (including surveillance) are very busy, usually catering to the high rollers.[/QUOTE]
