Casinos the world over must thinking that their day is coming and are getting ready to celebrate. To my blackjack friends, I am sorry to say that a computer program is in the works that will be able to detect card counting.
Or so its programmer says. Kris Zutis, a final year student at Dundee, is claiming that he has developed a program that will be able to track a game as it progresses by monitoring the cards played and by tracking how a player bets. It is explained that a camera will watch a game of blackjack, collecting information about the game. It then somehow uses a complex system of algorithms to analyze how the game is being played. It will compare betting done by players to what cards have been played.
In other words, this card counting detection system is going to count cards to see if how a player is betting is reflected in how this detection system has counted the deck. I have to admit that this Zutis kid is pretty smart to think of this—what better way to detect card counting players than to have the casino count cards and compare it to how blackjack players are betting. Actually I’m surprised the casinos haven’t figured that idea out already. But this kid takes it the idea further by creating a program to compute that comparison. Nice way to make money, Zutis.
So not only will we blackjack players have to find a new system, but now we’ll have to be mindful of how we’re betting. Seems we won’t be able to bet how we wish anymore without upsetting these poor casinos. Seems Big Brother has finally tapped into the world of gambling—let’s tell them how they can and can’t gamble.
Zutis says his program isn’t ready to go on the market quite yet; he has to develop it further. Calling all investors—help develop a program that will do the counting that we will be forbidden to do. A bit hypocritical, no?
Zutis is a self-proclaimed poker enthusiast. Originally he said he wanted his project to be related to poker. He wanted to sully his own game. But after learning the system was better suited to crackdown on blackjack he went that route. More like he realized, ‘Oops, I don’t want to somehow limit the game that I play.’ And while he will most likely be rather disliked if his card counting program for detecting card counting is sold to casinos, I can’t imagine anyone liking a guy who sells out to the casinos’ side.

Very interesting. But wouldn’t that program be easy to beat? It seems like card counters would simply have to count “wrong” on occasion, throw a few hands or whatever, to make it seem like they’re not counting. In that case, it would just take longer to make money because you’d have to lose more often than usual, but you would still have more success than those using basic strategy. Or maybe I’m wrong. I guess it depends on how complex the card counting program is. In any case, Kris is not invited to any of my poker games.
The original idea to track a game of poker was not to “sully” the game, but to make it easier for dealers to track the size of bets, in a pot limit game.
The dealer works for the casino. The majority of players, Anonymous, want to win money from the casino. And those players tend to frown on means that help casinos–after all they already have the advantage. Card counting is a major tool for blackjack players, and those players are not going to be thrilled that someone, another player no less, is creating something that will take away that major tool.
Rare to find a blog about casino games that’s actually enjoyable and not spam. Keep it up.

It has taken me nearly 6 months but at last I have learned that there are no real systems to beat casino games. I can’t believe I was so dunb to think that there were.
I’m am though making a little from clearing casino and bingo bonuses. Can anybody give me any tips on bonus whoring please?
Sarah, of course there are no systems to beat a casino, especially when it comes to games like craps and roulette. This is why it’s called gambling–there is no definite guarantee that you will win. The best you can do is to pick a game of skill–like blackjack–and practice your strategy to narrow the odds. If you can play perfect basic strategy–and it really isn’t that had to do–you can narrow the odds from 2%-5% down to 0.5%, which I think is quite close. Certainly better than 5.26% odds in roulette that can’t be changed.
