    Is an excellent math text about card counting in blackjack.

    Despite cult following, blackjack card-counting equates to DECEPTION, FRAUD. The fraud of the card-counting blackjack system is two-pronged. It is defended by two pretexts, two absurd justifications: LONG RUN and VARIANCE.

    Mystically, the LONG RUN and VARIANCE are always NEGATIVE from the players' (counters') perspective. In fact, mathematically, the two parameters should be POSITIVELY skewed. That's so because card counting promises to assure a POSITIVE expectation.

    The worst aspect: Card-counting degenerated into a mental disorder. It is kinduv CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy). Reading posts in blackjack or gambling forums is like reading materials psychiatrists watch for their patients. The card-counters
    even claim special psychic powers! In truth, every blackjack card-counter is a cuckooyak.

    The fraud of card-counting has been exposed in this very blackjack newsgroup: https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!topic/rec.gambling.blackjack/g9Iaj0I1yNI
    (Card Counter Catchers Speak!)

    The author was himself a card-counter, even instructor of blackjack counting systems, even developer of card-counting systems:

    “Also consider THIS DEPOSITION WAS TAKEN IN 1994. Since that date the casinos have gone high-tech. So if you thought that Max Rubin's description of how suspect card counters were identified then, you should hear how much easier it is for casinos
    today to label anyone a card counter in less than five minutes.

    Card counting systems are a BIG CON. Max Rubin's (a.k.a. Mike Riordan) sworn testimony (and dozens of other similar depositions provided to the courts by other-card counter catchers during the Campione case) provides irrefutable proof that the authors
    and software hucksters have been lying all along. They are using the fraudulent claim that card counting systems can still win to sell their worthless and dangerous systems, books and software.

    This post provides clear proof the con men hucksters and casino agents are lying to this newsgroup and their sucker clients.”

    Blackjack players are the FAVORITES of the casinos. Blackjack players invest serious money in gambling systems like card-counting. If them players spend so much money in the counting systems, they will be always willing to spend even more PLAYING
    blackjack!

    But it is bad news for the casinos IF even card-counting authors and vendors expose the invalidity of the systems as a whole! The aforementioned FAQ is undoubtedly written by casino consultants (the "casino moles" as I have always called them all).

    • Is it possible to make money playing blackjack if you count cards?

    Only the crooks and cuckoos who sell books, software, "training materials" on card counting make a living that way. Like the Norms and Dons who sell programs and strategy cards -- when even better products are available for free. Not to mention the
    cuckoos probably never played blackjack as pros... make it card counters!

    I was a “traditional counter” and I still count cards. The super count I apply is primarily for the blackjack insurance. Certain situations (Tens out in the round clearly below the norm… real norm)… favor also doubling down.

    At least, some (in)famous krookoos fess up.

    Sez BJ Bishop Arnold Snyder, “Casino Player Magazine, November 1997”:

    “When I self-published my first book, ‘The Blackjack Formula’, in 1980, and advertised it in Gambling Times magazine with the catchy, upbeat slogan: ‘Card Counters Beware’ … stating in the ad that most of the blackjack games available in the
    casinos of the world were unbeatable with any card counting system … It is easier to make a living writing about this game [blackjack] than it is playing it. I have tried both, and I much prefer the keyboard to the cold green felt.”
