Default Five reasons why wanna be card counters fail!

1. Insufiecient bankroll
2. They do not do there homework by reading books or studying hard enough and do not fully memorize everything even if they have read a couple of books.
3. Losing concentration manying people that can count at home can not do it in a casino or they can only do it part of the time.
4. Basic stragedy mistakes
5. Heat from pitbosses and casinos getting kicked out of your first Casino makes you a little more paranoid.

I agree completely. I am just learning at the moment but all of those seem true. I would probably also add

6.People probably bet too big for their bankroll

And I would think the most important is that

7.People think that you are supposed to win every time you card count and they probably get frustrated and quit after a bad night.
