How do casino dealers know when somebody is counting cards?
In: Other
Typically, card counting doesn’t involving knowing every single card already played and every single card left in the deck. It is generally knowing when the deck is more advantageous to the player or more advantageous to the bank. For example, in casino blackjack, the player has an advantage when the remaining deck has more aces and tens, and the dealer has the advantage when there are more low cards; that is what card counters try to figure out. But in order to take advantage of that edge, the player needs to increase his bets when the deck is to his advantage and decrease it when it’s to the bank’s advantage. And those changes in bets are what dealers and pit bosses notice and what makes them suspect a player is counting cards.
