Default Re: allowing players to count... have any casinos triied this?

Back in the late 70's the Castaways club on the Vegas strip put in a table called the "Monster Table". As I recall it was 8 decks and had seating for about 15 players. They invited all counters to play (that was back in the days of Bill Friedman). We played the single table as a team with one player simply counting the number of cards, another simply counting tens, another Aces, another 5's -- we got a perfect true count, perfect insurance decisions, etc. We ran one plus minus count for betting correlation and another for strategic efficiency -- we all spread 2-500 and bet by consensus. We beat the crap out of it. The table was removed.
