anyone actually get banned from casinos for card counting?
I keep seeing stories online about folks getting thrown out for card counting, but I wonder how much is actually real and how much is just flexing. I know it's legal if you're just using your brain and not some device, but how strict are places really? Like, are they actually monitoring everyone that closely, or is it just a threat to keep casuals in line?
Been playing low stakes mostly and haven't seen anyone marched out. I stay disciplined, mix up my bets, and don't go on crazy heaters that draw eyes. Maybe that's the secret. I do like the promos and sometimes I feel like those catch more attention than the actual play.
Has anyone here ever actually gotten the boot, or at least had security tap you on the shoulder? Or is the whole casino blacklist thing just way overblown unless you're going hard at high stakes?
At low stakes, most casinos just do not care unless you start wiping out entire shoes with big spread bets or attract heat from odd behaviors. I’ve only seen someone asked to “take a break” once, and they were pretty blatant with their counts and sizing. For disciplined folks grinding regular blackjack, it is mostly just a threat to keep people honest. High rollers or team play get noticed quick, though. The bigger the action, the closer the watch.
