Default Re: Is Blackjack beatable?

card counting is a way of following that there are more "good" cards in the deck for the player(ie 10's-K's). the more good cards for you, then you increase your bet. what makes this profitable is the increased rate of blackjacks when you are increasing your bet, because blackjack pays 3:2, as opposed to only losing your bet when the dealer gets blackjack. also more 10's in the deck means more busting for the dealer. so basically you increase your bet when the deck is in your favor and decrease it when it is in the houses favor. as to why blackjack is not beatable, i dont know where the casino's edge is.
