Card counting in general is a gambling strategy that can help the gambler win money, bringing him in the advantage instead of the house. As any strategy, it has advantages and disadvantages. In this article I am not going to explain how card counting works as it is a very popular subject. I will focus on the myth behind this strategy and its implications on people.
It is a common mistake to consider card counting illegal. It's not! Until now, no country in the world considers card counting illegal. It is illegal to use an outside device, though. Nevertheless, casinos still take counter measurements in order to prohibit skilled players that use this strategy successfully. Casinos still have the right to choose clients, unfortunately.
If security spots a player counting cards than they will ban him from entering the casino again, in most of the cases. Used with caution and motivation, a blackjack player can apply this strategy anytime and, if done properly, it can bring him constant profits.
This gambling strategy is a moral practice, despite many people thinking otherwise. In every casino game the house has always the advantage -- the players don't have equal chances with the dealers. This strategy, for once, puts the player into the spotlight by assuring him a slight advantage over the house.
If casinos fight a unfair battle in general, why can't players win sometimes? But there is more to it. Card counting cannot be properly used by everybody. It requires skills and it is difficult to master by average players. But that will not stop a dedicated and organized player, will it?
