    Except that the introduction of multiple decks for a single table made card counting all but useless

    I call shenanigans

      Not necessarily true. People still succeed at card counting with 6 deck shoes. The main problem is that you need a lot of capital for the odds to eventually even out in your favor. Even in the bast case scenario, you still only have a 1% advantage. There are counting groups that will pool tons of money and then split the total winnings as to maintain a higher average winnings.

      Actually, 6 deck shoes, still slow for counting.

      What has killed counting is casino’s shuffling after every hand you a single deck.
