I just watched "21", a US movie, and I have the following comments.
1. The money they won was too little. 6 people made 17 trips to Vegas, but they won less than US$2 million. The house would not pay so much attention to that kind of money [If they do, they would give u more and more serious warnings until u quit. If u don't get the message, they might go physical, step by step, not beating u up as their first notice]
2. The house would not chase players inside casinos or their reputation tarnished.
3. The counting was too primitive [Level 2]. Level 3 also considers how many decks of cards left in the shoe and Level 4 modifies the strategy table, which should be a dynamic one as count goes up and down [I forgot about Level 5]
4. The hand signals should be more subtle.
5. Ben should have put his cash in bank's safe.
6. The house reshuffles the cards whenever they have a high-roller cut in.
7. Count could seldom reach 15 as in the movie.
8. They should make some mistakes to have the house confused.
Final comments:
A. The party is over. Too late to learn from the movie.
B. The movie would not tell u much or u would lose less money.
Quoted from the movie:
"For the first time in my life, the world made itself easy."
