How Does A Casino Tell If You Are Counting Cards? - ねこまっしぐら - 04-24-2015
I was recently at a casino playing blackjack. I was on sort of a winning streak and someone (he looked like a random person not affiliated with the place) came and put their hand on my shoulder and said to me, "You should stop counting cards, that's cheating." I'm just wondering how does someone know that somebody is counting cards? What if I was just getting lucky with my bets? Perhaps it's one of those things where it can't be proven, but you can still be accused and you can't prove otherwise. Perhaps if the casino doesn't like you they can accuse you of counting cards and get you kicked out. I was never caught by the casino though. I was just wondering how would they.

Software. Correlating your bets with the high values means you're cheating. They can also observe your behavior, and if it matches up, you're fucked. If you table hop, its an indicator. They train people to watch for the signs. Its not illegal, but they don't like it.
They are in the business to make money off you. If they have no reason to believe you're cheating, and if you're not winning constantly, why would they kick you out even if they hated you? Its more money for them.

I was trying to say if you're winning a lot, just by total luck, all they'd have to do is accuse you of cheating. And with card counting, they don't have proof and you don't have proof that you aren't.

Currently, CCTV monitoring has a lot to do with it. Seeing as counting cards is usually a group effort, it's easier to pick out on camera.
Without the use of security cameras, it's usually a challenge for the dealer to spot a group of card counters. They often use very subtle indications to alert their parteners of a certian hand.
I've seen every installment in the Ocean's series so this is hard wired into my brain.

For me, it was a "one man job" aha. Really, I was just making random guesses and was getting lucky. I was saying, like if someone really was just getting lucky, they could easy be accused of cheating. The accusation of card counting could be made without any proof.
