Card counting in online blackjack is possible under specific circumstances. You need to find live dealer blackjack games that do not have any continuous shufflers, and has deep deck penetration.
Can you make a living playing online blackjack?
Along with shuffling and deck penetration, game speed can also affect your winnings. Live blackjack games are slower, meaning you might win less money per hour than usual. As a result, serious blackjack players should spend time finding live games that run at a speed they prefer.
Do you count cards differently with online blackjack games?
With live blackjack, the gameplay is identical, so you can count cards the same way you would in a brick-and-mortar casino. Other online blackjack games, such as RNG-powered titles, are truly random, so you cannot apply card counting to these games.
