I don’t understand people. Why didn’t he just fly to macau or some closer casino hotspot and count cards and earn his money the old fashioned way?
He thought it would be dishonest?
One must pick ones battles!

I recall reading about a card counter, also IIRC head of the Pacific Exchange? He had to wear disguises and even then they would spot him and throw him out.
In Macau, they might cane him?
Casino’s have hundreds of eyes watching you and everyone else’s moves and are specially training to catch card counters.
Count cards and you will get caught.
I know you’re just kidding, but card counters have been put out of business due to no-tolerance policies and measures like the 8 deck shoes they’re using these days. My Dad was a damn good counter and I learned from him how to hit and split with casino $$$.
The 8 deck shoes makes the math thousands of times more complicated and you will still be made to leave if they think you are winning by counting.
