More on card counting
We are a little off-topic, and might want to start a new thread ...
Card counting is actually not that complex, though I am unable to do it (one cocktail waitress bends over, and I've lost the count.) The problem is that until the count swings very high, your edge is not that great. My buddy was playing a $25 table, and treading water, when all of a sudden, they did a new shoe, and the count just happened to skyrocket in his favor. He started betting $500 a hand, and made his 7 grand pretty quick. Count fell back to earth, and so did his betting. He might as well have been holding a neon sign as to what he was doing.
The definitive card counting story is "Bringing Down the House" about the MIT syndicate who took Vegas for millions. It's a great read.
