Table Games : Card counting illegal or not

Card counting illegal or not. You should first ask yourself, is using your brain illegal? No. The subject regarding card counting is somehow delicate as the casinos prefer to check your brain before stepping in the casino. So, count carding is not considered illegal but what casinos can and will always do is bar the card counting player and back him off the game.

In case you’ll choose this kind of play to gain a one percent plus advantage you should anticipate to be asked pleasantly by the pit bull (boss) to leave the table. He will also invite you to feel free to play any of the other table games. (Yeah, like games with a house advantage higher than the interest rate you pay on your Visa card.)

Fortunately, not all casinos bar counters. Some, by law, cannot run you off. Instead, they compel tougher blackjack rules, multi-deck games and limit deck penetration to keep the trained counter at bay.

Although many in the industry say the casino has every right to back off skilled players, I personally feel the minuscule amounts lost to card counters are trivial compared to the money made from the ignorant masses of poor players, not to mention bad counters.
