is card counting even possible in online blackjack?
so i'm always looking for ways to keep my edge, but i keep hearing conflicting things about card counting with online blackjack. i know with regular online blackjack, the decks get shuffled every hand or pretty often, so keeping count seems basically useless. but then there’s these live dealer tables now, and i’m seeing some people claiming it works there because of less frequent shuffles. i’ve never really tried tracking the shoe on a live dealer yet, but i’m curious if anyone has actually had any success or if it’s just more of the same hype. i just don’t see how casinos wouldn’t catch on or have some kind of counter. interested in what folks have tried or noticed.
You’re right to doubt standard online blackjack, but in live dealer games, tracking the shoe gets tricky fast with dealer rotation and mid-shoe shuffles. I tried counting once on Evolution’s live tables and the running count barely got useful before they switched out the shoe.
