Perhaps, no, yes, worst movie ever made

I understand that we can chalk the terrible set design and the horrendous acting (I think they got that chick out of the porn circuit) up to low budget. But the plot, it was just way too full of holes that even a third grader could point out.

Number one: if you have this grand scheme to take down a card table, you don't walk into the casino together, talking about how you're gonna take down the card table. They have cameras at the entrance, too. And as soon as he started winning a bunch of money, they would have backed up to see who he came in with.
Number two: casinos ALWAYS use more than one deck. Usually six, but the lowest they use is two. That's to stop people from saying things like "Aww man, the TEN OF HEARTS. Shucks." And they would have switched the dealer once he started winning ridiculous ammounts of money.
Number three: 4 million dollars would not fit in that bag he was carrying and probably weigh about 300 pounds. And even if it did, are we to assume that casinos make million dollar payouts in loose bills? So someone sat there and counted four thousand bills and dropped them, one-by-one into the bag.
Number four: counting cards is so much more complex than what they were saying. Just add one for face cards and subtract one for the others and...no that's not how it works.

These glaring errors aside, that woman actor just made the movie hilarious. She was so bad, I laughed out loud, a lot, during her ridiculous, card shark monologues. It sounded like she was reading directly off the script--all the time. In all this movie had an interesting premise, but probably qualifies as the worst movie ever made. Ever.

Well for the most part that is how card counting works, depending on what system they used. In the movie they used Hi-Low-OPT which is starting with zero and for every 10-A you minus 1 from the count because there is one less card in the deck to your favor and +1 when you see a 2-6 because there is one less card in the deck against your favor 7 8 9 and netural so you don't add anything or subtract anything from the count.

So unless you count cards and use a more complcated system then you have merit to say what your saying but then if you dont you don't have mwerit.

I do know what I'm talking Aabout because I know alot about card counting and blackjack and yes in the movie they never discussed true count versus reltive count they never go over your starting odds as oppsoed to the table rules but they did not use correct team play there teaming style would have done nothing to help there advatage. (the he'll eat up the bad cards concept was idotic.) they did have the basic concept of card counting right and for the most part they were playing correctly. the first move where he hit on the 19 was the stupids thing I've ever seen ata card table if it was real life i woulda called him a dumbass.

I have sat at blackjack tables using basic just like in the movie and walked away very successfully

Not true, there are several casinos that offer single deck games. True, they can be hard to find, but try the downtown area of Vegas.
