    The whole premise of the movie is that you need a genius math nerd to be a big player, and for what? Not to mention, counting cards is not a rocket science, by their strategy, it's the spotters who need to be good at counting cards. They keep the count anyway even when the "big player" is at the table. "Big player" can be terrible at counting cards, his actual tasks are a) be good at showmanship and b) have good peripheral view for checking the signal from spotter.

    Should have added in strategy variation. Can’t tell you how many time I hit 12 vs a 4 with a minus count and had some half assed basic strategy player complain. Or insurance bets, to get people out of thinking they take insurance on a good dealer card, rather then if they have an ace in the hole. The other pro moves, it’s good they left out, would be too much. Counting down the deck on the plane was a nice touch, an actual things beginner counters practice.

      i dont consider counting cards to be cheating however what there doing i could possibly see as unfair as there communicating the status of the deck so they player gets given information that the other players dont have
      take 2 counters bill and bob
      both sit at the table bob begins counting to calculate the count
      bill already has been given the count
      its a teeny bit of a unfair advantage
      but if casinos didnt try to kick you out for doing it i suppose both could have started from the begining of the shoe and gotten a propper count

      @@Sarge92 The other players don’t have that information because they haven’t taken the time to know how to use it. Anyone from any walk of life can learn how to count cards. Takes time and dedication but is well worth the investment when done properly. Also, Blackjack is a game where players at the table are able to communicate with one another to make playing decisions. Counting cards as a team is simply helping your team make educated playing decisions as a group effort.

    • @ripem1417
      @ripem1417 Před 6 měsíci +2

      Count starts over when the dealer shuffles- typically dealers don’t shuffle unless all players leave or it’s requested by the floor. However some tables have multiple decks on the table. Every second a dealer is shuffling is a second the casino is losing money, and counting cards only gives you about ~1% advantage over the house. Also, the pit bosses are trained to catch counters and will ask you to stop your play if they see you’re an advantage player.

    I hate this movie:
    1. Always split 8s, they're maths geniuses but don't understand basic maths 🤦‍♂️
    2. Counting cards is extremely boring but eventually rewarding, not worthy of a movie.
    3. Casinos don't beat people up, that's just asking for a lawsuit when they can instead just kick you out and bar you.
    4. You don't need to be a maths genius to count cards, it's actually pretty simple as long as you have quick arithmetic skills.

    In 2019 they initiated the first stage of THAT plan under the guise of a ‘pandemic’
    Ever wonder what happened to the missing trillions from the Pentagon?
