I found card counting easy. The difficult thing was to maintain a casual demeanor, avoid the appearance of excessive, patterned purposeful eye movement, and keep going for long enough to make it pay without getting exhausted, losing concentration or just getting fed up.

Sure. Counting cards IS easy. What's hard is avoiding the heat while keeping the count but not getting tilted by all of the many distractions like other players doing things that annoy you, cocktail waitresses coming around to interrupt your game and those incessant machines constantly going off. And then there's the issue that unless you're winning almost every hand you play, they're gonna see the fact that you're raising your bets when you win and lowering them when you lose. And that's pretty hard to disguise.

Casinos don’t want a fast game to throw off card counters they want a fast game for the same reasons card counters do. 1 more hand an hour can easily be hundreds of thousands of dollars for the casino over the course of the year.

Guys.. you can’t count cards successfully anymore the cameras are also counting the cards. All the surveillance has to do is monitor your betting amounts with the count…. The count is displayed at every table on their monitors. If they notice your bets are going up massively on high counts. They will back you off. It’s like the military. It’s compartmentalized. The dealer the pit boss doesn’t even know the tech they are using. There’s different security levels to this industry. That’s how they catch counters before they actually win enough to screw up a quarter report

If you are winning over time, an showing a pattern indicating the casino is likely to lose money to you, it is easy for them to refuse you service. There are also casinos that use continuous shuffle shoes, with 7 decks, and the cards going back in after every hand. Pretty well impossible to count in those cases.
@noThankyou-g5c

im being pedantic but the amount of decks never matters. It matters in the sense there are slight strategic variations one should adjust to. 100 deck shoes aren't any harder to count on than single deck shoes if you're follow standard Hi-Lo counting practicing. Continuous shuffle obviously completely kills the ability to count. Whether it's single deck or 16 deck shoes. It's still not incredibly common though because 1 it can slow the game down which isn't made up for by the saved revenue from eliminating counters and 2 regular gamblers hate things like that. To them there's a greater chance the Casino is "cheating"

7? 6 and 8 are fairly standard, but I've never in my life heard of a 7-deck game. Tracking wins over time would require some way of tracking those wins over a time long enough to rule out random variance, and without a player's card, that's impossible for casinos to do

Steven has a video where dealer announced a "card counter" at the table which is why bet spread was reduced and players starting pitching about him.

I think most counters aren't that familiar with gamblers. Gamblers always act very different to counters and if you want to increase your bet naturally just double it from the previous hand. It will only take 2 hands to be at 8x your bets. This is called "Pressing" your bets. Even doing 16x if you have the bankroll for it is fine as long as you sweat it super hard. Many degens will do things like this to get max heart attack when playing and won't get backed off ever.

Pressing your bet allows you to increase your bet when the true count is high enough. Bet spreads are only mathematically minimizing your risk of ruin, if you are playing in your means pressing can help add cover without losing ev. If you think bet spreads help you win more money, then you don't understand basic math. As soon as you have an edge you should bet table max to maximize ev. Since no one is doing that, no one is maximizing their ev. They are only minimizing their risk of ruin. @@bjccounter5810

No. It's impossible to build a long-term edge in Baccarat or Roulette. Plenty of people will try and convince you otherwise, but the truth is that both games are nothing more than coin flips. Why should you trust my opinion? Because gambling is one of my hobbies and I've exhausted too many hours trying to find edges in most casino games. Stay away from Baccarat and Roulette if you're trying to win. They're fun but losing games.

It's like a kid in the neighborhood who is the by far the best football player and he just destroys kids all day long, but when a new kid comes along who is bigger, faster, stronger....just way better, then he tells the new kid that he can't play. But then he wants to continue beating the absolute crap out of the other kids. Just look at the videos of the nasty backoffs. The one where they treat the counter like a criminal. It's unfair. But I get it, it's their house. They can do what they want. I'll just leave, no biggie,....but it's still unfair. They are bullies and brats.

I am looking into card counting. I bought the recommended books. My idea is not to win big, and to try to fly under the radar as a single player. Never make more than 1k per session and cash out. The way I see it, I only make 200-300 a day at my regular job, so anything above that amount is a win for me. The objective is to supplement my retirement. Take my meager winnings and put them into a dividend stock portfolio with DRIP. All to retire early and fish. I am 40, and I am aiming to retire at 58. I would only go on my days off, and I would try to go to a different casino each day off.

You should also know there is a psychological... idk the word, quirk for most people where if they tell others their plans they get a little reward like they actually accomplished them rather than getting that feeling from doing it. It is better to quietly do your plan rather than tell people about it, even though that feeling is a good one.

And by NO MEANS can i COUNT CARDS OR CONSIDER MYSELF A COUNTER. I was simply paying attention to what was coming out as well as what the dealer was pulling and id play based on those things.

Start with a running count of 0. Whenever you see a 2-6 add 1 to your running count, whenever you see a T-A take away 1 from your running count. Before the start of each hand, consider the true count. The true count is the running count divided by an estimate of the number of decks in the shoe, so if it’s the 3rd hand of a 7 deck shoe maybe you take your running count divided by 6.5. As you play more it will become easier to estimate how many decks are remaining. If the true count is high(like 2 or 3), bet larger. I believe a general size that works is 1x bet per count. If the count is 0 or negative bet the minimum to get another hand dealt, or ideally change tables. This method of betting ensures you bet the most when you are more likely to make blackjack, and the minimum when you are least likely. Consider an idealized game where there are 3 Ts and 1 A. If the player and dealer take turns getting blackjack the player will win because blackjack pays 3:2, but when the dealer gets blackjack you only lose 1 bet. As the true count increases, you approach this idealized variant and should bet more. Of course you must also play perfect basic strategy, and optionally deviate as the count changes(like the splitting TT play from the video)

"Win more than half the games they play" is actually incorrect. The sum of their wins will OVERCOME the losses they have because with proper bet sizing and playing strategy, they can overcome the casino's edge in a fair game...and do so more quickly in a QUALITY game.

The edge in card counting is so small (sometimes less than 1%) that you need a huge bankroll and big bets to make more than a minimum hourly wage. The best card counter in the world playing in a 10$ table is better off just working at mcDonalds.

The more I learn and experience I get from going to casinos channels like this and blackjack apprenticeship really hype it up for views. Like honestly he has to have all these covers but yet shows his face on video or you have to memorize bj strategy so you should probably watch all my vids or buy our training programs lol or you could just get a basic strategy card. These are just a couple of examples but it's not like this IMO from my experiences.

Steven is definitely not a "normal" card counter. He learned how to count cards specifically for his youtube channel. There's less than a dozen non-retired card counters that actually show their face and publicly admit they count cards because you're right. It's stupid. Unless your career isn't being a card counter, it's being a card counter influencer. You can say what you want about the incentives for that, Stephen really doesn't spread any misinformation. Also the thing about the disguises doesn't really make sense lol. He basically has to wear disguises because his face is public. That isn't even unrealistic because as a card counter if you play long enough. At least with a BJA type of full time job maximize EV mentality your face _will_ get burned and you _will_ need to wear disguises. If you're planning on taking it seriously then it's not really "hyped up" As far as BJA. You could also have a reasonable debate about whether their products are "worth it". Totally depends on your budget and personality. Some of their services are _very_ useful like the software for setting up bet spreads. Their automatic trainers. And most most most most most importantly their crowdsourced casino list. Outside of the Casino list you could similar products/services elsewhere, some cheaper, some more expensive, I'm sure some better. But they're all very easy to use, do exactly what you want, and iirc come in a package, all conveniences, and really the Casino list is so invaluable the other stuff that comes with a standard membership is a bonus, but ignoring that the convenience premium is worth it for some and not for others. I probably wouldn't have signed up if it wasn't for the casino list. If you're actually planning on taking counting seriously and have the money for it then their prices are perfectly reasonable especially for the base level stuff (the camps and classes and stuff I personally would never buy but I guess some people really prefer direction or in person learning. Kinda seems like a ripoff to me honestly but they're a business and it's not like people feel scammed by them). I don't really get what you mean when you say you pay just to learn basic strategy bc that isn't true at all. The standard basic strategy chart that comes up on google when you google basic strategy is from their website for free. They also teach all of the basics to card counting for free (and maybe even some of the standard deviations but idk. you can still find those also for free). Their real service is the forum, casino list, bet spread / risk software, and training software. Useful tools but not necessary. Tbh I'm not really sure what you even think it is that they do

he has said several times if he could do it again he would have made a separate channel where he hides his face and name. Steven isn't selling anything, he is producing entertainment with his skill so people can 1. Live vicariously through him and 2. Reveal how shitty casinos are. There's a reason why casinos are banned in most jurisdiction.

You guys must have forgot about the baccarat team that was using a hidden camera to record the shoe during the placing of the cut card. LISTEN. I'm not saying that's what he is doing. But, the casino can't read his mind to know what exactly his intent is when he's using a hidden camera and wearing disguises (not very good at it by the way) attempting to conceal his identity. Also, you need to remember the difference between Metro laws and Nevada Gaming Commission laws. My last comment. Why should I care what he does. Good luck.
