    Card counting in blackjack is simply a myth. It worked somehow only with one deck and 100% penetration. John Scarne put jokingly the advantage of card counting. Suppose there is a one-deck blackjack game with 100% penetration (i.e. all cards are dealt).
    The player tracked the entire deck absolutely precisely. There are 5 cards remaining in the deck: 3 eights and 2 sevens. The player would bet the maximum immediately (actually, millions if it were possible!) There is NO way the player can lose! The
    player would always stay on two cards (it doesn't matter if it is 7+7, or 7+8) or 8+8)! On the other hand, the dealer would always bust. It doesn't matter: 7+7 (under 17); draws an 8 and busts. Or, 8+8 (still under 17); draws a 7 and busts. Or, 7+8 = 15 (
    under 17); either 7 or 8 as the third card would bust the dealer's hand!

    A situation like that would have occurred, but extremely rarely. To have 2 sevens and 3 eights at the bottom of a 52-card deck has a degree of certainty in the same category as the moon colliding with the earth!

    A slight, slight advantage occurs only when there are lots of Tens and Aces remaining in the deck. The Player is paid 150%, while the Dealer is always paid 100% for a blackjack natural.

    As true as... all myths can be! Another egregious "true story" is the mythological MIT Team.
