I saw a video on this recently. I think it was Wendover.

Though card counting is still possible many casinos have made it very difficult. Most methods require the counter knowing what is left in the deck.

Two methods are just using 3-5 decks and reshuffling the deck after eatch hand. This apprently stops all but the most insanely talented card counters. Some go further using a machine to shuffle the deck in a way players can't see.

Though it also mentions some players think this cheating for the house so it might not be done at every casino

Yes, but here's the thing...some casinos have now started to advertise single-deck blackjack. To me, as soon as fewer decks have become an incentive to entice people to your particular casino, they should have no right to kick you out over card counting at those tables. But that's just me and my silly basic morals.

That sounds more like you are no longer playing blackjack, but rather a cat and mouse game of trying to count without getting caught counting.

In which case, they need to throw you out, because thats what happens when the cat catches the mouse.

To me, sounds like: "You're allowed to play this game where odds are we will we take your money but you're not allowed to pay attention."
