Cardcounting in Europe?

[popniklas]

hi all.

i know the basic strategy of bj pretty well. i have been practicing bj with the great bj strategy trainer tool at blackjackinfo.com and bonuswhoring some online casinos.

i have begun practicing a little card counting (plain hi/lo system), and would like to go play at some casinos with good rules and deck penetration etc once i have learned it better.

so here's the problem: i live in sweden. the only casino here is run by the state and offers poor rules for bj, plus they have some shuffling machine which makes counting impossible. (you can also play bj at some nightclubs but the rules there are even worse.)

it would be fun to visit vegas someday, but that is probably not going to happen over the next couple of years.

so.. anyone here have been counting cards somewhere in europe? does anyone know a good casino in say, london, copenhagen, paris or barcelona that offers countable bj with good rules?

(btw, book recommendations for an aspiring card counter are welcome as well. i am considering buying arnold snyder's "blackbelt in blackjack" since it was highly recommended by mason malmuth in his review in GTOT.) [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
