@RAPHUSSLEMONEY It's not really any harder to count eight decks than two. It's just that dealing more decks reduces the effectiveness of card counting.

blackjack is all luck.. counting cards only worked when casinos used 2 decks.. casinos use around 8 decks now.. it dont take a genius to count cards in 2 decks..

Good joke about casinos and churches :)

The problem is they just misphrased it. What they really mean is that in a certain double deck scenario for card counters, the odds of leaving the table with a winning session(after 30-60 minutes of play) is 4 times out of 5. It's not talking about the frequency of hands won. They're talking about risk of ruin.
About all I can say for the movie "21" is that it exists.
As an actual portrayal of life in the MIT counting team or any counting team it was pretty flaky. And as for counters getting beaten up, that only happened a couple of times and the casinos (most notably Binion's Horseshoe) were sued by the assaulted players and ended up with massive negative exposure and had to pay the victims.
