Most Casino Pitt Bosses could careless about card counters. I have blatantly counted right in front of them and they just look at me. Cause they know that card counting only gives you a small advantage of close to 1%, that can be wiped out by variables. Variables will knock your head off! THe ugly variance will often off-set that small almost 1% percent advantage you have as a card counter. It is a lot harder than you think to maintain a head lead on 1%.

Some may let you count for small stakes, but as soon as you start betting black chips ($100) I am quite sure they would object to you counting, especially if you are winning.

are there any casinos in America beatable nowadays?

[americancasinoguide]

There are lots of games that are beatable. However, the pit people are always watching for card counters and it's hard to freely bet what you need to succeed as a card counter. Therefore, you need to find ways to disguise your card counting skills or the casinos will simply bar you from playing.

Is there still any casino in the world that is beatable？

I mean 3 to 2， 2 decks，etc..

[americancasinoguide]

You can beat the casinos at blackjack, but you must have a game with good rules and good penetration.

[americancasinoguide]

Actually, it's not true. You should hit 12 whenever the dealer shows a 2 or 3 as his upcard.

[americancasinoguide]

Sorry but, once again, you are wrong. Nothing in the video that says you can "go make a living" playing blackjack by using the mathematically correct playing strategy. The truth is that even if you play perfect basic strategy you will still be playing at a slight disadvantage to the casino. The amount of that disadvantage will vary, based on the number of decks used and the rules of the game, but generally it would be about one-half of one percent.

card counting is usually fine, the reason why the mit people got in trouble is because they worked as a team, having people scout the tables for the "big player" or high roller would come in get the count from the scouter and bet accordingly...

@americancasinoguide thank you, sounds like a dream. I would be proud if I got banned from casino :)

[americancasinoguide]

Always hit soft 17.

This video really helped! I have an argument with my friend.

If I have Ace and 6, dealer has a Queen, should I hit or stand??
