Card counting in black jack

[KTChampions]

Even without reading the article, it was easy to guess that card counting in online casinos does not provide any advantage 
Firstly, it is obvious that in an online casino the deck is shuffled after each hand and this does not require any effort/time.
Secondly, no project in the digital world can exist if it can be "counted" and beaten. Therefore, if the casino exists, then card counting when playing in it does not provide any advantage.

It's very likely too that bogus (AI) players can be salted into games or even a hand is played between hands by the gambler (ie a hand is played invisibly and those cards are discarded after play in the same manor as the cards being played by the gambler - that way even if you think you know what cards *might* be about to be played, the invisible hand(s) could potentially remove them)

Yes, such options are possible, but serious casinos are unlikely to do so. All these manipulations will be clearly visible if you take a large statistical sample. A casino caught on such manipulations will suffer big losses and most likely go bankrupt, therefore, if such things are done, then in new/small projects.

So far playing black jack has never had such a detailed formula and if the counting really works, I think there will be plenty of gamblers who become successful at black jack easily. So, I'm not sure counting like that will always produce good results so still, everyone has at least a different level of luck, so whatever method or strategy is used can have both good and bad results.

Physical Gambling operators consider card counting a big threat to their business so they will try everything to eliminate that threat every players that comes along that is having a good success even if they are lucky that night is analyzed and if they have a continuous round of success chances are they will be ban.

Guys, it is already clear that card counting is useless when playing online blackjack. But does it offer even a tiny advantage to use it for cards dealt during bets? Meaning when the deck is shuffled, one card is dealt to the dealer, two cards are dealt to each player, so that's at least 3 cards dealt (could also be 5 or 7 cards initially). Without knowing how many decks are used, does the running count give any benefit for predicting future draws?

E.g. I just got dealt 10-6, dealer gets 8, so the running count is effectively 0. But as you keep hitting, this might change the running count to a different value, though it's still going to be small. Can I make any reasonable predictions with a running count of -2 for example?

I'm thinking card counting at online games is more useful if multiple players are playing at the same time, since more cards get to be dealt before the deck is shuffled at the next hand. Even then, only the player who bets last makes the most out of this.

Yes, I find it quite unfair. For example, a cafe cannot deny service to any specific people, since they will violate their public offer and lose in court. Casinos in this regard are in a privileged position and have such a right (denial of service) by law. I do not think this provision is fair. Math works the same for everyone and you have to serve everyone if you are not a private club.

Well, technically I agree with you. But for me, there is nothing wrong using with this and I am not also using this method of card counting, -- I will not risk my money and betting someone that has an advantage. Stick with your odds and play fair to them, no need to use any other card counting to taking advantage against your opponent. However, a casino has a right to choose if you will stay in or kick you out if you are taking advantage of someone else.
