I recently took a friend to his first casino experience. I'm currently learning to count cards for a hobby and thought it might be good to get a little real play at the same time.
Unfortunately, I picked a casino which uses CSM's. Every other round of cards was returned to the CSM with just 1 rounds cards left in the discard. I thought counting wouldn't be an option and decided to play BS just for fun.
ON one partular hand I was dealt 34 with the dealer showing a 7. I strangely hit five 2's and stood on 17. I was first to play so paid close attention to the other hands. No 10's or A's were dealt in any hand (6 inc dealers) There was a running count of 22, so i estimated the TC to be approx 4.
I then raised by bet from the table min of £2 to £20 and was dealt 88 (dealer with a 6) I split then watched the dealer bust and give me £40.
Anyway, I am wondering if it is possible to make money counting CSM games if the table is full? I realise the TC is never going to get very high but there wouldn't be a negative count for long either. The table limits on this game are £2 - £500.
Any thoughts?
