Default Re: Counting cards in online live Blackjack. Possible?

That's the problem.
If they catch you sizing your bet at opportune times (necessary for profitable card-counting) they can just decide thgey don't like you for "taking unfair advantage of the game" or something and not give you your money.

In fact, they don't even need to notice it right-away.
Anybdoy who actually wins and then tries to cash-out they can easily review their play and see whether they were counting cards or not.

This isn't as easy to do in the live casino. You can get in and out reasonably inconspicuously if you put any effort at all into it.
And, in most situations, they aren't going to stop you from cashing-out your money.

But on the online-site you have to trust them to pay you.
They are going to view card-counting as cheating.
And they are going to say that it's within their rights to not pay a cheater.


Even if it's only a 2 or 3% chance that they aren't going to pay you I don't think it's worth ticking off an online-site like that.
