Card counting is wrong for several reasons:
1. It makes blackjack less fun. Blackjack should be a GAME. When you
count cards it makes the game WORK and less FUN.
2. It threatens the casino's bankroll. Casinos in many parts of North
America are struggling to make ends meet. Cards counters have led many
casinos (including Binion's Horseshoe) into bankruptcy and closure.
3. To compensate, casinos have to change the rules. This hurts all
players. Card counters have cost casinos so much money at Blackjack
that they have been forced to reduce the payoff on Blackjack from 3:2
to 6:5. If card counters continue to ruin the game casinos could be
forced to remove Blackjack altogether!
Please don't count cards!

That's the kind of BS that casinos want you to beleive. Casinos in
fact make over 67% of their revenue from slot machines. Of the 37%
they make from table games, approximately 50% is from BJ. That means
that 18.5% of casino revenue comes from BJ. Only about 1% of BJ
players count cards. That means that BJ players will probably only
"threaten" .185% of the casino's bankroll!
The best card-counters will gain a 2% edge on the house. This means
that the OVERALL effect from card counters is .0037%.
