Counting Cards in Team in Blackjack

Those who know well black jack know that in almost of time, it is impossible to beat the bank and to take the advantage of the house. But it remains possible. Certainly, physical or online gaming rooms have already established strict rules in order to make practically impossible to count cards, however, certain publications as the book Bringing Down the House, of Ben Mezrich give an interesting enough outline to face it. Because to count 24 Ace (4 per game x 6 mixed games) is already rather difficult, but to count them while they pass by a continuous automatic mixer becomes practically impossible. A pile of 312 cards which is mixed in each becomes indeed difficult to be counted by a single person. Henceforth, to beat the house, groups of several persons join to count cards in Blackjack together.

To make it, a team of four persons is so necessary. Indeed, with cards in the hands of several persons, it is easier to know how many cards of the same kind are still in the box. Every person had a role specific and important to play. "Back Spotter" is the one in the wallflower, he is not there to play but to count cards. In constant visual communication, this person directed simply his team members in the right direction. Then, there is also a “Spotter”, who is on the table for the decoration and to place small stakes while sharing information and the instructions with “Gorilla”. This last one played in a style of guerrilla warfare, entering with enormous stakes and leaving when he can get a lot. He always follows the instructions given by his team-mates and rating is always in his favour with regard to the cards which was counted in an expert way. Finally, the “Big Player” counts cards, follows his team-mates’ instructions and played important hands.
