Vnorth, nobody does it, thats why its not 'illegal', it doesnt do anything, thats why its not illegal, but i LIVE in new jersey, AC uses 8 decks, they have various methods to prevent you from card counting, in face a friends uncle used to a dealer in AC recently died.

You're taking the definition of illegal to be a sticking point. Even in AC if they thought you were card counting, they would employ several methods to stop it, therefore nobody does it, and nobody young does it any more. the bottom line is you cant do it, and it wont help you win. Plus they use 8 decks, online the shuffle is random, so there isnt even a deck per se, soon they will be using digital systems in person. so it will be more like video blackjack than real blackjack.

This is a bigger problem, dont have one for blackjack but this is craps, same process
