Default The movie 21, and counting?

Alright, I know how to count cards and I have for a while, but simple counting cards. I saw the movie 21 and 90% of the time, the counts were between +10 and +19 or something...How is it like possible they can get that high of a count. I know that casinos use 6 decks ussualy, But are all 6 decks mixed togather or something?? how could they get to +15 or something the odds of it happening once esspecialy how well they shuffle are VERY low.

It's very easy to get consistent high counts like that... in Hollywood.

Humans can have super psychic powers... in hollywood too, wonder why don't they play BJ to get rich quickly.

First off,I loved the movie. What was strange though was when Ben knew the count was +13 when the rest of the team couldn't get it. Kevin Spacey was turning the cards over slowly yet none of the experienced in Vegas team members could get the count right-didn't make sense. Once again, I think the cast was great and I loved the movie.
