I had a college roommate that was a professional card counter.
He “Worked” his way through college going to Vegas twice a semester. I asked him about it and he said card counting isn’t illegal and that as long as he didn’t abuse the knowledge the casinos didn’t care. He said there were 4 rules.
1. He didn’t take more than about 5K from any casino in one day.
2. He played a different casino every day.
3. He didn’t talk about what he he was doing to other players at the table.
4. He didn’t work with a team or group to skim more.
He’d go to Vegas or Atlantic City for a week and play stud or Black Jack at a different place every day for about 3 to 5 hours. After winning 2 to 5 thousand he cash in and leave.
He said probably 500,000 people in the US make a living that way. I don’t know where he got that number.
I don’t know how anyone can have that kind of memory. It’s amazing to me. I have a very poor memory for numbers.

Would you mind sharing idea of what years he was able to do this? I contemplated learning how to count cards but read the casinos added a few more decks to the shoe to thwart this.
