The reality of the situation
As auspicious as that sounds, there are still many bosses who don’t understand that counting is a long and difficult undertaking - and that the greatest counter in the world still loses four out of every ten times he sits down at a blackjack table. In a world where knowledge of percentages should ooze from the corners of every blackjack pit, this mistaken belief in how easy it is to win by counting cards continues to prevail for some reason. And that makes life for card counters a lot more difficult than it should be.
The reality of the situation is that playing in any casino as an advantage player is an art form all to itself. Whether owned by a large gaming corporation like MGM Mirage or a smaller independent like the Golden Nugget in downtown Las Vegas, the casinos are in business to make money just like any other business. And if you’re not adding to their bottom line like everyone else is, then you’re really not a welcomed customer.
