How accurate does the count have to be? Someone might not have an exact count and miss a few cards, however, you can disregard unknown cards and still know you should change your focus to that table. I don't think he ever claimed that he's sitting there keeping a perfect count on two tables at once consistently. It's just something someone uses when the opportunity arises to help increase their EV.
EXACTLY.
It is not ideal but missing a card, or even several cards, because your view is blocked or because you had to act on your hand and couldn't get a look at the second table at just the right time, really has little effect. It is equivalent to if that card or couple cards missed were behind the cut card, increasing the penetration just slightly.
Take you "spotters" on a card counting team. they often are tracking multiple tables, 3,4 sometimes more, looking for the best count. They may miss a card here or there or even mis-read a card because it often at some distance. It really has little effect. Stanford wong did extensive work in this area.
And that is all tracking a second table is. Almost the exact same as the spotter situation except you are playing one table and "spotting" or tracking the second.
Unfortunately this technique is almost non existent now, because of few tables (more carnival games). There are a few good places where tables are set in a manner it can be done. South Point for one. ya know, if you are a player that can play there. ;)
But really it is almost gone now. Finding a casino set up just right, with other conditions just right is like finding a FP VP machine. rarer and rarer.
BUT if you can, it really adds to your EV. Not quite double but close.
