Love the reference to 21. This film perfectly shows the fascination and dangers that are Las Vegas.

The way they’re cutting the decks early makes this almost impossible.

This used to work well but from what I know they shuffle cards more often nowadays. In the past you could memorize 5 decks but rules are now different

I have tried card counting in Blackjack several times. It’s hard to keep up. These guys in 21 are really good.

I watchjed that film recently, and it shoudln’t be difficult to do the counting with a little technical help. Surely, though, it can’t be that easy, can it?
