Does anyone know if using your chips to keep information on the composition of the shoe is legal? For example if you used your chips to side count aces or something like that, could that possibly be illegal since you are using " a mechanical device" to aid you?
when i first started learning how to count cards about 12 years old... the first method i read was to use a chip, pick a point to be the "hand" and turn it clockwise or counter clockwise according to the count. When it got past every quarter turn you would raise your bet.
Effective no
obvious yes
I do not think it would be illegal but i dont think you would get away with it for to long.
The method i learnd to first count aces was to use my feet.
1 ace right toe down heel up
2nd right outstep down instep up
3rd heel down toe up
4th insted down out up
then you would switch feet up to 8 times through all the decks
it was an extremely simple way to count aces and not obvious whatso ever
it was very effective
