Yes, exactly, this is why I have been advocating since at least 2010 that AP's play anything but blackjack. In case you haven't read my take down of blackjack card counting:Originally Posted by kewlJ
But you are arguing about it now. It is 2020.

One could argue that the I-18 is actually harmful to young aspiring APs, as opposed to simply being a tool of the intellectually lazy, as it was in the 1980's and 1990's. By giving young APs the idea that card counting is a viable path towards a professional career as an AP, the I-18 is setting these AP's up to get caught. Once busted, their career using more lucrative and easier methods will be much more challenging. In other words, I-18 is a great tool for surveillance, but has negative value for the AP.
I would never advise a new, smart and motivated AP to choose that path when there are so many other more modern methods available to them. 1960's technology with a 1980's tool just doesn't work in 2020. Anyone who wants to be an AP should start first by learning about a lot of different methods, then chose the one that works best for their particular goals and lifestyle. Lead with education. There are just too many good choices, but ordinary blackjack card counting isn't one of them.
BTW, my post count is limited here, probably because I am new, to six posts a day in this forum. Not sure how long that will last.
