@@user-vl1oz3qy6i if you are saying it's not hard to beat the casinos then I have to question why I should consider you to be a great source of information on the subject. Casinos are designed to win its the whole reason they exist the odds are greatly in their favour unless you are counting or using some other frowned upon system and for you to say any different just makes me wonder if you work at one of these establishments?

Coming from a fellow card counter, I cannot agree more. Card counters go broke all the time. At best you’re usually only a few percentage points ahead. The edge you get over the house is ephemeral and you can still go broke very easily.

@@chipsthedog1 Logic clearly escapes you. You should work on parsing statements of implication and then move on to math.

@@joelwillis2043 yawn

That’s just how things work when you have a small edge… you need to play a very very significant amount of time and turnover a hell of a lot of money before you can guarantee profit. There’s going to be very harsh variance when you only have a 1% edge

“Like watching the vlog version of the movie 21” 😂 😂 😂 can I use that line?

It would be the morons version of 21 since counting across multiple casinos doesnt improve win rate like he seems to think. A counting team only increases win rate when multiple people take advantage of ONE DECK! All this is a bunch of individuals who each know how to count cards splitting profit. It's actually hilariously dumb!...and he's so confident talking about .....so funny!

@@stevenbridges if you want to be wrong then go ahead but this guy and this team are actually so dumb they don't understand that playing across multiple casinos doesn't increase win rate! It's so ignorant! Lol...they need the team to take advantage of one deck! That is the ONLY benefit to having a team of counters!

@@mrbaseballer85 I know jack shit about what you're talking about. But I can tell you're good at logic. Strengths of math and where math goes and how to interop as a team is definitely something where "knowing the field well" comes in handy. However... it's possible his team has a strategy we don't know about. Or perhaps there's a negative factor, like, "one casino outs them too fast", which prevents that strategy, so he's stuck on a less advantaged field. It's good to make assumptions as an engineer. It's also good to allow for changes in initial educated guess and potential variations.

haha thank you! There's a video on my channel that explains exactly how it works. 😃

I'll explain card counting simply Blackjack is a simple game get closer to 21 than the dealer without busting. Blah blah blah This is litterally just a numbers game, and because it's all numbers probability and math. You can make a mathematical best choice for each hand. This is called basic strategy and millions upon millions of hands have been played with this and the numbers all work out theyve used computers to do this also. This is just basic strategy Basic strategy cuts the house edge from around 70% to around 50.5% of winning against you. So you have a 0.5% chance of losing so we need something else to give us an advantage. This is where counting the cards comes, all we do is keep track of the number of low cards that come out of the deck compared to the high cards. Numbers from 2-6 we assign a value of +1 to. Number 7,8,9 have a value of 0. And 10 and A cards have a value of -1. (If you see a game of blackjack the deck isnt shuffled after every hand so until the deck is shuffled the cards that have been played are done) The higher the count gets, the more of an advantage we have. This is because blackjacks are more common plus the dealer is more likley to bust because they HAVE to hit until 17+ When the count gets negative the dealer has the advantage because blackjacks are less common and the dealer is less likley to bust. You may be wondering why blackjacks benefit anyone so I'll give you an example. Let's say were playing a game and we flip a coin, and every time the coin lands on heads I'll give you 3$ every time the coin lands on tails you give me 2$. We can play this game all day and all night over and over as many flips as you want. You playing this game? Probably since in the long run there is a gaurenteed profit. In the short run though you may have 5 tails in a row land and lose 10$. Card counters look at the long run. Also when the count changes we have a thing called playing deviations which bassically say hey the best mathematical choice has changed for what to do here because we have more information about the deck so instead of hitting a 16 vs a dealer 10 stand and you're more likley to win when the count is above 1. There is also a difference between true count and running count. The running count is the count we get from seeing each card, the true count is the current running count ÷ by the number of decks remaining roughly. So let's say we have a running count (RC) of 10. And we are playing with a 6 deck shoe and were 1 deck in. Well since there is 6 decks and 1 deck has been played then we have 5 decks remaining. So 10 (RC)÷ by the decks remaining=2 (TC) which is your true count. This means that on average for every deck left to play there will be 2 more high card than low cards. Variance is where this becomes a problem because it's not every deck is gaurenteed to have 2 more high cards than low cards it's just the average. The team ended up going through a lot of what we call negative variance. So going back to the coin game they flipped a bunch of tails. But it's alright because as they play more the odds are more likley to even out Hope this helps

There is even more easier : Take 2 decks and put them together and watch them everyday ! Next : 2 decks = 3,5 cm Count only High cards ! 1 deck = 20 High cards 2 decks = 40 High cards One essential Rool : Never increase your bets only double down when you count a significant difference beetween High and low cards ! One example : if you size UP 2 decks and count 20 to 30 High cards . Double down With 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 more frequently ! If you count more than 40 High cards With 2 decks ---> double down With 12 and 13 !!!! That's all 👍😉

No such a thing, its all luck, you never know the next card. Cards will be mixed after each game, so what are you counting.

@@stevensteven3417 They don't shuffle the shoe after every hand.

Actually you can’t. For some people the temptation to pocket chips is just too great.

@@billyhack9673interesting.. I also love rewatching this that you can lose $24,000 to the casino and they’ll get a team to make you leave before you can win it back. That seems illegal but nope! Sad

You need to understand this makes NO SENSE! This team is full of idiots! Lol the only way for a counting team to increase win rate is to take advantage of ONE WEAK DECK! Playing across multiple casinos is hilariously dumb! All they are is individually counting cards and splitting profit....noone is earning more than they would playing alone over time!

@@stevenbridges your idea of splitting makes no sense! Do you not understand that a team only benefits and win rate only increases when the team takes advantage of ONE weak deck!?!?!

DO NOT TAKE ADVICE FROM THIS PERSON ON STRATEGY! their logic terrible! Win rate only increases when the team takes advantage of one weak deck!

@@mrbaseballer85 are you stupid or are you just trying to start an argument because you have nothing better to do with your life? It’s not about win %. It’s about sheer numbers. If you have a 1% edge over the house, playing more hands = more money over the long run. More players = more hands. That means less chance of running into the negatives. Because of variance you have to play a TON of games to make profit. The more people playing the easier it is to make a profit. Having more people playing (even solos but combining their money) allows for less of a chance to lose. ALSO you have to take into account that their total bankroll is larger than if they played solo. Which means they can bet larger sums of money without worrying about running out. Larger sums of money being bet = larger sums of money being won. It’s not at ALL about affecting win chance. It’s about getting more money and more playing time to reduce the chance of loss and increase total money won. If 5 players play (combining and splitting profits) and 1 loses money there’s still 4 other players to make money.

Thanks for the info! I did not know that!

@@stevenbridges You're a "professional" counter and you didn't know that? 😆

You can pull your bet back

If the dealer hands out one card they can't stop it. That is why he said at one point he would try and sneek the bet out when the pit boss wasn't looking so he couldn't stop the hand before the first card was dealt. Before that first card of the hand is dealt they can stop and shuffle.

@@dr.snapplethebadapples1620 Once cards are dealt you cannot pull back your bet. Only before the first card is dealt of that hand.

@@mrbaseballer85 what?!

@@mrbaseballer85 Lol no sir, it's quite the opposite actually, you need to do more research yourself. There are some serious advantages to playing at many different casinos. The amount of hours the team gets in helps you get to the long haul faster and therefore guarantees a profit.

A lot of casinos just think of card counting as an overhead cost like keeping the lights on. Its a very bad look to throw people out just for winning. Not to mention its not always worth it financially either, if a casino spends 200,000$ on security to stop counting but only would've lost 100,000$ to counting, it wouldn't be worth stopping the counting.

Thanks Morgan!

No it hasn't because the strategy is moronic! They don't understand how to work a team. Win rate only increases with the group taking advantage of one weak deck! Playing across casinos is just individuals splitting profit and has nothing to do with a team strategy
