    Default Any card counters in the UK?

    How do you go about counting cards in a UK casino, do i use a running count or a true count. The plastic thing that they put cards in before they put them back into the shuffler, do i want this to get quite full of cards, is this the deck penetration, if so i want this to get at least 3 decks deep? Also, what casinos are the easiest to count in ? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    You won't last 5 mintutes unless you are an expert with years of experience.

    1. You won't be able to keep up.
    2. They will spot you a mile off and you'' be ejected.

    If this is the case then, what game are you talking about? Blackjack? 3 Card Poker? 5 Card Poker? If he shuffles them himself I suppose your talking about 1 pack only? Must be a short handed game then?

    My grandfather could do it. But that was back in the old days. Before auto shufflers, security cameras, software casinos etc. But back then you didn't just get escorted out from the casino if they caught you.
