How do casino dealers know when somebody is counting cards?
In: Other
A card counter will increase their bets when they think they have a good count in the deck and decrease when they think they have a bad one.
This can be pretty obvious compared to a standard blackjack player that would bet predictably and consistently based on the cards in play. If your betting patters are highly erratic they may suspect you’re up to something.
So then the counter would have to use a more sophisticated plan with some intentional losses to throw off the casino.
In many jurisdictions the casino can just kick you off the table for winning too much anyway. They don’t need to closely monitor every player for complex betting patterns to *prove* you’re counting cards, they’ll just bounce you after you’ve won enough.
