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

I call shenanigans

It still works, just not as well. There are plenty of youtube videos teaching how to count cards even with multiple decks.

Sure, but automatic shufflers are getting more and more common. Not to mention, you have to have a fairly large starting pot to have a hope of making a decent profit. Then even if you do everything right, you still have a relatively high chance of going in the red.

If you have a group of 10 all putting in 7k that’s a lot of money to gamble with pretty good gains
