    Why only few hundred likes? Man, the world is not fair. You provide a great useful information in concise way and people with no creativity or usability git millions of views.
    But stay strong my friend.

    Not impossible to count through 6-8 decks. Though not easy either.
    Shannon, Kelly, and Thorp were all geniuses!

    An 8 deck shoe can be counted just as easily as a 2 deck shoe. Hardly any difference, unless the deck penetration is bad.

    Good video but you are incorrect about multiple decks making card counting impossible, this is simply not true.

      @@GustavoMaldonado42 No, it is not. You can't be arrested or fined for counting cards, but the casinos can kick a card counter out because it's private property.... they don't even hafta have a reason to anyone out

    What would it be the expected value of a random hand for example if they shouffle the deck every hand and every card has equal probability of appearing?

    In principal I wouldn’t count cards in a casino because the casino loves to entice you with clever marketing, comps, free this and free that in order to get you to gamble but then if you start winning and beating their asses real good;
    ….they will then ask you to leave and never come back again and the smiles and friendly behavior will immediately stop. I refuse to support such hypocritical behavior on their part so I won’t participate in it in the first place even knowing that I can win money from them.
