Now you dont believe its illegal? lol, you just want to disagree with me is that it?

Trust me, it wont get you put in jail, other methods might. But its still illegal in the casino, cause businesses much like the nfl or the nba have their own laws. In fact, the NBA removed the golden state warriors owner from his position as owner for making racial slurs. As far as I know making a racial slur is not illegal in eyes of law, but the NBA has their own rules, cost him his team... and he made the slur in his own house.

A Casino can make up any rule they want, if they say card counting is not allowed, you're gone.

But It doesnt happen any more, Ben Afflec probably hadnt been in a casino in years, and did that years ago, not realizing nobody does it any more.

If it works the edge is marginal, i dont think there are many fearful pit bosses, worried about card counters but they will kick you out anyway.

I will tell you in 35 years, i have never seen anybody even DOING card counting, and nobody taken away. I have seen people taken away for stealing chips. Thats much more prevalent. Some guys are so fast at swiping a chip off the table, that they can pull their chip back into their pile without the dealer even seeing it. But the camera spots it.

But they only spot it if suspicious. like how is this guys pile of chips getting larger when hes losing.... hmmm

Ive seen people stealing other peoples chips too. And ive seen dealers who are working with the player to both steal, they know each other but pretend they dont. Again you can get awy with things until it gets big.
