Really that's not true at all. There are still plenty of places you can play with limited decks. -- nm - pmb May 21, 10:04 8
- Admittedly I don't play blackjack much anymore, but I haven't seen anywhere with small deck setups in ages - Reagen May 21, 10:06 7
  - It's hard, but I know people who do it. I played single deck blackjack at Ceasars last fall. I actually didn't enjoy it because you spent so much - pmb May 21, 10:11
  - Yup. The movies and tv make you think it's a simple system of +1, -1 or nothing until the deck is in your favor. Much more math involved than that. -- nm - Krusty May 21, 10:08 2
    - Well, there is a simple system like that that works. -- nm - TFox May 21, 10:20 1
      - Not really. It's just the way it's described in short since describing what it actually takes to count cards well is boring and full of equations. - Krusty May 21, 10:38
  - surveiliance is the killer - not deck size -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 21, 10:08
  - I miss the single deck blackjack table at the Golden Nugget -- nm - oblique May 21, 10:07 1
    - DO NOT WANT! -- nm - Golden Nugget Buffet May 21, 10:08
Yeah, really, just play the game. If you need to get into counting, it's not the game for you. -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 10:03 1
- If you're out to win money, counting will help you. I'm not in it for the fun, I'm in it for the cash! -- nm - Krusty May 21, 10:04
