How easy is it to be spotted card counting? The only way you can really make Black Jack work for you is counting the cards so that you know what your chances are of pulling a certain card, but how likely are you to be figured out?

| Well that depends on how good you are at it really. In the end card counting is against the rule because gambling is supposed to be about luck. If you have a winning streak of some kind people tend to keep a close eye on you.

| I have wondered the same thing, how easy it can be to get spotted (not that I have done it or anything like that). I am guessing that once you start winning so much, people will get suspicious. That would require you to be doing it right though.

How they would know I guess would be by watching you. They would see that you take in each and every card that is put down, and if you are not very good at it perhaps you would hesitate before making your own decisions whilst you figured out what was running through the deck at the time.
It has not happened to me personally.

| If you're going to count card and I am definitely of that inclination there is a saying to remember. The pigs get fat: The hogs get slaughtered. Learn to do it well in your head. Make a modest chunk of change and go home. If you're in a casino town like Reno or Las Vegas instead of going home go down the street to the next casino and do the same thing. If you get too greedy they'll get onto you.

Good advice, and I like the saying. It fits so well, and reminds us that you can only take so much.
You just need to make sure that you aren't actively gluing your eyes to the other players cards.

I think many are trained at their security work and if you have that large of a streak someone is bound to take notice. Its all about having fun, winning some and losing some. Anything too suspicious will be looked over I'm sure, what you people don't watch the show Las Vegas?

| Well It's not to hard to figure out the general rules involved. If you are not known, then you could get away with it. The trick is to avoid getting any attention, going table to table or better yet, casino to casino is your best bet. The House does NOT lose. This isn't a saying, it really is the rule. If you come close to breaking it, they'll find you and send you on your way. Some really known well players are actually banned
