Greetings,
I was wondering about the practicality of counting cards in 2021 considering the rapid deterioration of conditions over the years.
In my personal experience it keeps getting harder and harder. Casinos are quick to back off at more places than not and often times shamelessly backing someone off with a very small top bet. When a casino does tolerate action their game is typically objectively very poor. The games with good penetration that are tolerant end up getting burnt. The people that do make money as full time BJ players tend to travel a lot. Traveling is a big burden because the cost of food, hotel, gas, etc. can damage a bankroll severely. Personally, I find it difficult to justify card counting at this time because I have greater sources of income than what I stand to generate from counting cards.
