Is Card Counting a Type of Blackjack Cheat?
Card counting is a blackjack strategy of keeping track of which cards have been dealt in a shoe. It is NOT a form of blackjack cheating if you are simply using your brain to keep track of the cards. If you ever attempt to use any type of counting device other than your brain, such as a concealed computer device, it can be considered cheating and you could face legal prosecution. Many people think that any type of card counting is illegal and is a method of cheating at blackjack but this is not true. Learning to count cards with your brain can be one of the most powerful strategy tools a blackjack player has in his arsenal and it can be a very rewarding learning experience.
