Theory and Reality
Card counting can create a mathematical edge, but real play still has limits such as table rules, penetration, table limits, speed, bankroll, and psychological pressure.
Practical Factors
- Deeper penetration usually makes counting more valuable; shuffling too early reduces usable information.
- Bad rules can consume the edge; for example, 6:5 blackjack is usually very unfavorable.
- Even with a positive edge, many losing hands in a row can still happen in the short term.
- Casinos may refuse service based on play patterns.
