Can you count online?

I believed the answer to this question until today was no. However, today I discovered online "live blackjack". For those of you who are not familar, it's basically a live casino game played via a web cam. The game I witnessed had bad pen but are there any games out there with a playable pen?

Even with decent pen the games are waaaaaay too slow to make any decent money from. You can barely get any hands per hour.

Yeah, I realise you can only play about 40-50 hands or so an hour, however I was thinking these games could be used for practising or training people. The site I discovered had 7D games with about a 66% pen - so crap that this wouldn't even be possible. Are there any better games out there?

Maybe, but I'd be afraid that an online casino would sell its user base, including betting history, to a larger casino chain for marketing (or more nefarious) purposes.

Keep in mind that there isn't a whole lot of oversight on the online casinos - usually the ultimate authority is a tribal council, not a gaming commission. As a result, they can more easily take out a few tens from the deck and get away with it.
