Default Re: What happens when casino catches you counting cards? (Blackjack)

Say enough times its cheating and you can sometimes get sympathetic ears. Remember that 99% of the public thinks if you gamble you will lose so if they say so and so won money playing in a casino the uneducated person just might agree that you must have been cheating.

The problem these days is the cameras and products they have. Take a casino with a special system to counts the cards itself and then grades your play based on common counting methods and your bet patterns. After they conclude you play a potentially winning game, they use any number of their high-tech cameras to take a near perfect picture of you and if they belong to Griffin in the book you go...and then comes the get out of here speech. Fortunately these systems that count and track all cards are still new and not all that widespread, but its inevitable that they start gaining traction in all but the lowest class joints. Want to see more, just watch Travel Channel, they show that piece about Griffin and their computer program about once a month so you can see how quickly your counting career can be snuffed out.
