    Question About BlackJack Card Counting
    for those online live blackjack tables...for example the one they have at ladbrokes. what kind of counter measures they have to increase your advantage by running a card counting computer program at home?

    The live tables I have seen have low limits, poor shoe penetration, are are so dreadfully slow no counter in their right mind would sit there and play it to make $10 an hour. Plus theres still the accountability concern. Whos to stop them from slipping in a few extra deuces in the deck?

        Most online programs shuffle after every hand. To beat a 6-deck game, you really need to see 75% of the cards. You can make money seeing fewer, but it gets much harder the less you see.

        A common defense casinos use is the "half-shoe". They don't bother kicking the counter out, but shuffle after half the shoe has been played. While you can still make a tiny bit of EV on this game, the volatility is so high, you need a multi-million dollar bankroll to justify playing it.

        I have never met an online BJ game that was beatable with counting. If someone finds one, I'll make the finder rich
