In this Blackjack Card Counting Challenge we will be dealing to Professional Blackjack Card Counters and 1 Amateur Gambler. Can you follow along and keep the count yourself? Will the gambler's strategy prove to be more profitable than the Card Counters strategy at the table by the end? At the beginning of each round we'll give you the running count and see how well you did.

This is probably one of the most satisfying videos to watch on this channel

I liked that. There should have been a video window showing the discard tray so we could practice estimating the decks.

[CJGilbert]

This was absolutely a perfect video. I loved that We could play along to keep the count. Please make more of these. So much fun!

4:46 I lost it when she split on a 20 then manages to bust, she could’ve won that hand, crazy

[huckleberryfinn]

Love how yall put the running count and decks remaining on the screen in between rounds. So I can verify my accuracy when conting along.

[northside]

I very much liked this format. I've been with you for quite some time and this was very entertaining. Having the dynamics of different experience and playstyles was fun to watch without needing to be more concerned with my own hand and count.

You really should do more videos like this. Now that you might not have any more ideas of guides on how to play Blackjack, this is a good way to get videos out.

Lol I’m sitting here eating breakfast frustrated at her moves

This was so entertaining! I'm not necessarily asking for anything, but it would be nice if you make those type of videos every once in a while (like few times a year) 🙂 also, I was looking for a not that aggressive bet spread, I guess I already found a 1-6 one 😅 also, since I started learning basic strategy and counting about a month ago (I don't spend that much time training a day, like 15/20 minutes) I decided to try keeping the running count on my own from the 2nd hand (I got the idea after the 1st one): I messed up twice, which is obviously very bad, but at least it was right on the 2nd hand because I got distracted and another very chaotic one. But yeah, all of that too say that it was very entertaining and also super useful, this is the first time I'm actually able to see the speed of an IRL game (I know it can vary a lot, but still), great video! 💪

I've realised that is much easier than I thought. I noticed that when you are not counting every card individually, it's so much easier. In addition, by just thinking of the number, not the calculation itself. You have enough time for the rest.

This was fun to watch, and it brought home how fast the game goes, and how quickly things change.

[guitarguy]

Colin I love your content BUT it would be cool to see this with a ploppy playing perfect basic strategy and not doing things like splitting 5s of the jump. I know the counters would likely still prevail but the ploppy could have a positive variance streak that would make it interesting. I just think it'd be a better comparison, anyways thanks again for the great content!

[theentropykid]

This is one of the best vids you’ve done so far. Just getting into blackjack and all about your page. Please more real-time vids like this! Thank you 🙏

[Shamy]

The first 17 minutes was about how my sessions have been lol.. this was an awesome video Love it

[drugaddict]

Grace is just placing random bets because she knows the moneys fake

[Coyner]

I love this kind of content, I hope you guys continue to make more like it! Thank you! I do not count cards, I just enjoy playing basic strategy. Some day I'll learn to count, for me specifically it's just a lot to comprehend.

Remember guys, card counting does work you need a good bank roll, and you will lose hands but that’s where you need to place the appropriate bet. It’s all about generating positive EV and it’s a long term game. I won my last few sessions of blackjack but the time is just as much as a pro poker game. I play poker most of the time now. I every once in awhile play blackjack. But when I do I go with a solid bank roll and play strictly with counting. Lastly stay humble and stay focused no matter how fun it is if you lose the count please get off the table!!

I wish the dealers at a casino kept asking if we want them to deal another hand at the end of the shoe xD Nice video, good fun. If you do more, make sure to have the discard tray in the shot

[timsatterfield]

Been playing since 2019. Logged in 650 hours that first year, then about 100 hours the following years. Break even player even after all this time. It is what it is. The forces are strong when I am about to have a chance to get ahead!! My 2 card 20s are fun to see on the high count until…dun dun dun….hello Dealer backdoor blackjack (4) times in a row to my pocket 20s. The funniness of the casinos!

Could you make/are there more of these? This passively teaches a lot about the game and is relaxing af to watch.
