Question on counting cards in blackjack?

Question

I know penetration is very important when it comes to counting cards, and the casinos near me have used the mechanical shufflers or 50% penetration. I found an online casino, but they also do 50% penetration. I can use an excel spreadsheet to help me count, but will that even matter with 50% penetration?

With 50% penetration card counting won't help you very much

I've seen some of your posts.  You really like gambling!  I truly hope you have a "real" job or you're going to find yourself living out of a box on the street someday.

These on-line casinos were created to TAKE your money, not to give you any.  You are never going to beat on-line blackjack with card counting, no matter how perfectly you count.  Only a fool would believe otherwise.

Chad · Answer

mechanical shufflers are fine... it's the continuous shufflers that are bad.

And no you can't count with 50% pen.

And you will NEVER win with online casinos.

You actually trust that online casinos are not cheating you?  Wow.  Here's a tip:  There is no government agency in charge of monitoring the integrity of the games.

Card counting can't help in online blackjack! you can minimize your losses and maybe win a bit in the long run if you get stuck to The Basic Strategy

I'd imagine you can take advantage of such opportunities but in the long run it won't help you make a profit that is guaranteed from card counting.

Fifty percent penetration is not enough for any game. Online, the deck is shuffles after every hand.
