You will need 3 things. 1.) Deep pen 2.) A generous spread allowance 3.) A pit/EITS that doesn't give a fuck and won't preferential shuffle.

Can you beat them once? Yes. Twice? Maybe Everyday? Nope.

Give me a large enough spread allowance and I could probably beat them with an Ace/Five count. I may have to play everyday and live to be 300 according to sims. The factor not considered is the most important. Time. What is your time worth?

I like my odds as the house with shallow pen, limited spread, and preferential shuffle and/or a pit that says No MAS and spreads the word.
Sure you have to have the right condition. You do for any type of game. But to say it doesn't work at all is fallacious.

As for "what is your time worth." Mine is nothing with counting and spreading at all. We'll walk out of a casino if card counting, on any type of blackjack game, is the last resort.
