I'd argue that getting away with it for 20yrs means they were still pretty successful.
In the OP implies this wasn't twenty years ago.
So? I was replying to a comment that said it wasn't a good way to make money. I gave an example of a group using it to make money for 20yrs. I'd argue that that proves it can be a good way to make money.
Oh, I meant it's not a good way to make money now. I wasn't speaking for 1990.
It 100% is still a good way to make money. It's harder than it was, but I guarantee there's card counters out there clearing heaps of cash each year. I know someone who makes good money doing it here in Australia (he used to be a top ranked poker player but picked up blackjack cos the money is easier. Ie, he doesn't have to sit at the table as long to make his wad). And I just googled, and there is a shitload of people still saying it's viable, many of them well known in the field. It's not even hard to do right either, those big bet swings you talked about? Yeah, you do them your first week of learning to count before you wise up...
