This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Why would counting cards be forbidden? I feel like it's the same as using a phone calculator in the grocery store to calculate the best unit price. Is it because it's a casino and there are vastly different quantities of money at stake? As you can probably tell, I don't know much about casinos.
Its allowed. Using a tool to help you IS NOT.
Betting table max, 3 hands, out of nowhere is a big indication you're counting. It is, after all, a betting strategy.
And casinos stop it because if they allow it it could shut the whole place down. A business that loses money doesn't stay open for long.
I've been a shift manager at casinos for years. I can tell the counters a mile away. I can deal a shoe and tell you the count at any point. I don't kick em out, but I'll flat bet them. Say the betting spread is $5-$500, right? They've played 10 hands at $5, now they bet $500. I'll walk over and place a new placard on the table, $25-$25. They can only bet $25 a hand, no variation.
Anyone who's there to press an advantage will walk immediately. And then we'll make a dossier on them and it'll get shared, nationally.
Yep. It is like that. Would you expect less, c'mon.
That's sad man
