Always wondered if this is even remotely possible with RNG blackjack. My guess is the deck gets shuffled after every single hand which would make the whole thing irrelevant, but wanted to hear from people who actually know.
Is there any format of online blackjack where it would theoretically work or is it just a non starter entirely?
Card counting is dead in RNG blackjack since they shuffle after each hand, so no edge there. Live Dealer games are the only online spots where you might track a count, but even then, most reshuffle way too often for it to matter much.
Card counting is dead on RNG blackjack since every hand’s a fresh deck, but live dealer games (like Atlantic City Blackjack) at least let you track a few rounds before a shuffle. I learned the hard way chasing bonuses on slots felt less pointless.
i’ve never seen early surrender as an option on rng blackjack either, which would be huge for counters if it existed online anywhere. has anyone spotted that on perfect pairs or is it all standard rules?
Pure RNG blackjack is like chasing a jackpot on a cold slot, the algorithm always resets the math so edge hunting dries up. I once tracked every hand for a week and the closest thing to an angle was catching late surrender offers in fringe Spanish 21 rooms, but the moment I tried to ramp up bets, the reshuffle protection clipped any streak.
Pure RNG blackjack is a hard stop for card counting since every hand’s a fresh shoe, no memory to exploit. Only exception I’ve seen is a few private blackjack rooms where the shuffle timing got sloppy, but casinos patched it quick.

if you ever spot a live dealer table with a visible continuous shoe and detailed betting layout, that's your rare shot, but even then casinos shuffle sooner if they see sharp play - once watched a dealer speed up reshuffles after two big wins, so incremental counting edges get stomped fast
