eli5 how do casinos determine if someone is counting cards?
In: 59
They don’t really know if people are counting, they can make educated guesses using statistics.
What they do is track earnings. If you earn too much they’ll ask you to leave. You’re only allowed to gamble because they’re agreeing with you, at any point they can rescind this permission.
Or, in simpler terms, they have someone good with stats watching the tables and if your stats become unacceptable to them, they’ll assume you’re counting. They don’t need to “know”, they just need you to be making enough money to make them uncomfortable.
