Card counting isn't how the game is played as it gives an unfair advantage to the person counting the cards. It's unfair to the other players at the table, I could care less about him ripping off the casinos honestly.

Of course the casinos should have a right to not allow card counting. As long as it isn't based on discrimination they have the right to refuse service to whoever they please. If people do not like the rules of a casino then don't go there it's that simple. Card counters cut into their profit and no company likes to lose profit.

I say card counting should be allowed. If someone has the mental capacity to track the trends within dealt hands then too bad for the house.

Let the counter prove that the casino is discriminating against them because they are doing what the casino considers cheating.

It is against the rules to alter game play or adjust odds, should the casino be able to adjust the odds as well mid action?
...how can they prove someone was card counting? Other then winning more often then most, really can they prove it?

Can someone please explain how the advantage goes up for the player when there's more face cards/Aces left in the deck? The players and the dealers pull from the same deck, so wouldn't that mean the dealer has just as good as odds as pulling those high cards too??? I gamble and I know my way around a casino, but I never understood this...

I agree ... they have the right. But SHOULD they have the right? The person is just playing the game that the casino set out for people to play. And he's playing it well. So ... why should the casino have the right to ban them?? I can understand banning someone who is spewing obnoxious language or is a mean drunk, etc etc .... but why should the casino be able to legally ban someone who hasn't broken the law and hasn't done anything except play the game the casino set up for people to play?

Actually a really good explanation that makes total sense... And as a degenerate gambler I totally get it now... Thank you sir!
I'm more of a poker/craps player, but I dabble in blackjack depending on who I'm at the casino with...
