There is couple of common misconceptions or even myths most are believe in:

  • All card counters memorize every single card which is out of the shoe or deck.

Many experienced blackjack players agree that systems which are based on card counting are very effective. The most important thing one should always remember is that card counting systems are based upon the logic which makes it successful, but not its complexity.
