Card Counters React to "The Card Counter"

[@timothyalvis6654]

Shockingly, a movie called The Card Counter has very little to do with actually counting cards. It's obvious they didn't put much thought into the system because the system isn't the main focus of the movie. The movie is about Oscar Isaac's character reconciling with his past. They use the setting of casinos to show his mundane lifestyle, a dull lifestyle, in contrast to his casinos are usually depicted, because he desperately wants to run from his mistakes. Even if the card counting and poker playing mistakes in this movie are egregiously wrong, I still overall liked the movie for what it was. Maybe just don't call a movie The Card Counter if the main focus isn't actually counting cards lol

They could be accurate with card counting scenes it doesn't take that much effort. All they had to do was hop online and buy the book playing blackjack as a business read it and put it into action in the card counting scenes. Also playing a 6 to 5 table is stupid you have to pick a 3 to 2 table. They should have made a big deal about where they play.

[@betcjay243]

You sound like you made the movie and ur mad about it lol

[@mentar1048]

Oh. My. Gawd. But it fits. This is exactly what the Casinos want the ploppies to think. Learn counting, don't get too greedy, and then play on our 6:5 tables with 1.5% house edge off the top :)

[@truthseeker8123]

Make me laugh. The houses don’t care unless you are running at least 1:12 unit spread. Been on LV BLVD since 98. I’ve met only 1 guy good enough to be a threat. I scared him off after he was stiff. If he was George, I wouldn’t have said a word. My 2 cents

Hey Colin, thanks for continuing to produce such high quality content. I've really gone in deep with learning about counting and black jack strategy, and it's been great to have your videos and articles to reference. As a 24 year old med student it's not affordable for me right now to become a member or afford the softwares you recommend, but using your free content and the BJA app I've been doing pretty well so far and am really learning the enjoy the process of training and being challenged. Maybe one of these days I'll take the financial plunge into membership, software access, and training with you, but for now I am appreciative of the content you create for non-members. Thanks again!

Addition: today a season counter at the casino (I go to Ilani in southern Washington) told me, after we had played a couple of shoes together, that he thought I was a "good player" and it felt very validating of the progress I have made using your system and advice!

[@adammtroutman]

Ryan, I’m very similar to you. 23 years old, chemical engineer, and I have recently become fascinated with gaining an advantage in blackjack by using these techniques. I need to improve my basic strategy, I’m running in the mid 90% right now, but one day soon I hope to be 100% from memory like these guys so I can focus on the counting and how the count influences my decisions. It would be a total dream to go train with these guys, but I’m not even close to that level. Practice, practice, practice

[@russlehman2070]

Well, one way to convince a casino that you're not an advantage player is to make so many stupid "cover" plays that you are actually not an advantage player. But you could just give the casino your money and save yourself the time and aggravation.

[@lennyanders1639]

The movie "21" was a good depiction of card counting however the players were constantly getting counts of +15 and +16.

[@T-Vegas]

Actually the movie 21 really isn't that accurate,but it's a little better than what this movie was showing. He has a video about that movie on here as well. Mainly that the main characters win every time they go out and always win big. Which is very inaccurate

[@danielyuan9862]

That's because the card counters "fold the shoe" whenever the players get counts of -15 and -16.

[@ianandersen265]

If those were true counts, that would be hugely problematic. Running count, that would have been much more commonplace, especially in 8 deck games.

The worst part is that halfway through the movie, he abruptly changes from Blackjack to Texas Hold 'Em Poker, which has nothing to do with counting cards, and is an entirely different skill set.

[@karsonkammerzell6955]

One of my coworkers use to be a pit boss at a casino nearby and he told me a story of how this regular would always come in and play at an empty table late at night. This guy was incredibly good at Blackjack and would always start with a bankroll of $3,000. Every single time he won he would tip the dealer the winnings; breaking even. He would end up leaving having broke even but tipping thousands to these dealers. Eventually the casino kicked him because the only people making money from this guy's play were the dealers. Dude was like the Robin Hood of Blackjack and by the time they kicked him had given these dealers tons of money, lol. My coworker never said if the reason he left was that, but he did say that he was pissed that the casino screwed his dealers out of the tips.

[@jl2696]

That sounds like an exaggeration at best and a flat out lie at worst. If this had been a one-off occurrence, I might buy it. But I've never met anyone, professional or not - no matter how rich or poor, who sat down at a table game and regularly tipped all their winnings. Sorry but I cant believe the bullshit your coworker is feeding you.

[@mr.snuggle6883]

Laudon said he's winning 55% of the time. I think he's winning ~49.5% of the time (# of bets) over a sufficiently large enough sample size. It's just that he has approximate insight into the un-even distribution of when those wins are occurring and is adjusting his bets to maximize the impact of those fewer wins.

[@bensonlim1914]

Unless he was talking about % of winning sessions vs losing sessions, not % of winning hands

[@Danicker]

Yea I think he was talking about sessions in which case you'd expect a decently high probability. And the longer your session is, the more likely you end up with a profit (assuming you are playing correctly of course)

[@Danicker]

@Blia Yang If you're talking about session wins it's very possible. If you're a winning player you expect to make a profit on most of your sessions. Because you're a winning player, each hand you play has a positive EV. No of course you can get unlucky, but the more hands you play in a session the more likely you are to come out on top at the end.

[@mr.snuggle6883]

@@Danicker I was talking about the actual number of times he is winning a hand. He's not exceeding 50%, even if he's generating positive EV.

[@hudsonkarasek2049]

I have been learning a little bit and have a quick question. In a situation where our running count is 15, we have 1 deck used, would this mean that the true count is 3? If so, would we change our betting unit this early in the game? Wouldn't this be risky since the shoe is still very new? When using true count, when do we start to change our betting unit when it comes to how many decks remain? Do we wait until two decks of the shoe have been used? When's the right time?

[@leon7_714]

if you are playing a 6-shoe-game, yeah, the true count would be 3. and of course, when the TC is 3, you have the advantage so you start changing your bets. doesnt matter, how many cards have been dealt

If you know how movie-making works, you'll find the strategy errors are likely the fault of the editors picking shots that don't match a good play/move...they likely shot different hands over many days and the editors just took what looked best visually, and showed a win, without care of what the actual cards/strategy would be. That said, still the directors fault for skimping on details.

Casino is not available in my country (yet) but might be in a few years. Is it worth it if my country only ends up with 2-3 casino in the whole country?

[@nolanvolens5727]

Hi guy. I'm curious as to what country is yours. I'm guessing somewhere in Scandinavia. I'd appreciate it if you would clarify. Presuming that I am correct in that, let me be so bold as to answer your question. I have worked in casinos for nearly 25 years, starting as a dealer, and am now a floor manager (a quite high up position, in case you did not know that) at a large casino in Canada, so I speak from experience. If your country opens just a few casinos it will be impossible to become a successful card counter because of the simple fact that you will become known. If you show an advantage, you'll be out. It is almost certain that if your country decides to allow casinos there will be a tendering process whereby one particular (long established) company will win the contract. So if you are backed off at casino A you'll also (automatically) be backed off at B and C. Even in the highly unlikely event that the three casinos licenses are granted to three different companies you will still fail not only because you would be recognized at each one, but also because casinos (even competitors) share all kinds of information (including stuff like this) with each other. To summate, card counting for viable profit is impossible in all of Europe. There are not enough casinos to stay under the radar, and BJ is not even that popular a game there. Roulette is the big one. Even in America, with hundreds of casinos, and where there are many more BJ tables it is a very difficult, though not impossible hurdle to overcome. If you hear that casinos are coming to your country you should learn, or if you know the basics already, improve on your poker skills. Providing that the rake/session fee isn't ridiculously high, one can make nice tidy profits at poker, especially when you'll be playing against many people who are new to the game, and have not studied, like you. Beware though, of experienced sharks who know this too, and are superior to you. Wow, started off just wondering where you're located, and turned into a novel. Sorry about that, but hope what I said was helpful.

[@ReaverLordTonus]

I used to try card counting a decade ago. Simple basic strategy on double deck tables mostly. I could never do it with more decks than that, and infinite shuffling machines basically killed it for me. Admittedly, I thought the same way, betting the minimum when the count was low and only betting a little more when it was up. Never bet big, probably the most I ever bet was $50. I figured anyone who ever got trouble for it were the ones betting and winning noticeable amounts. It didn't make me rich, and I didn't always win, but it helped me play for hours almost every time, and I walked away with a few hundred bucks here and there.

Colin, you hit the nail on the head at the end when you mentioned expecting some inaccuracy for the sake of dramatic effect. A little bending of the rules of realism makes sense or can be necessary for exposition or to make films accessible to broader audiences.

[@alanrice7410]

There is a scene where Rainman hits 18 against a 4. When his brother berates him, Rainman tells his brother that there are lots of queens left. Hitting hard 18 is never a correct play under any circumstances. If the pack was rich in 10 value cards, this would be even more of a reason not to take a card. In Dark Matter, the player splits 10’s against an 8. This is only a proper play if the true count is at least +20. Counts like this are extremely rare. It seemed like they only played a few hours. It is much more likely that this was a movie error than the player had a +20 true count. The writers could have put in a scene where she was asked why she split 10’s against an 8 and have her state that the true count was +20. Then this would not be a movie error about proper strategy.

Doubling a 9 against a 10 and playing a 6 to 5 game? Thats a "card counter" that deserves to be pistol-whipped by the security in the back room for being so stupid. In reality casinos love players like that.

They realized the same problem with this film i did, it isn't about card counting at all and actually has very few gambling/playing scenes.

as IT expert , I also always laught at movies where hacker breaks into computer... it's just non sense

[@NeverTalkToCops1]

Hackers always yell: "I'm in! and do the handclap thing".

[@fullmetalandtheflame438]

The important thing about this movie is, first, it’s not actually about counting cards. Like, at all. Also, he’s not even trying to win big. He’s intentionally making just a little. He doesn’t care about the money.

Hey Colin! Your tattoos are BAD ASS!!! If you don’t mind sharing I’d love to know what the Hebrew translate to?

[@thedexterbros]

It's a cool title but it's just a great movie that's not really about counting. Blackjack is the backdrop

[@thetruthhurts9112]

Doubling for less with a 9 vs a dealer 10 is actually correct strategy!!! As long as "less" is zero

[@musatebi486]

Still a mistake, if 2 3 4 5 6 7 come you cant take another card.

[@seismoi0822]

To check - casino owners funding a movie where card counting and betting are misrepresented

[@MrBill1j]

Haha wow, at that point he almost could’ve looked at the dealers face with a 5 against a 10 and say: I’ll staayyyy 👋🏻 I’d really like for you to make a reaction to the movie called: Las Vegas 21 !
