It really isn’t only for MIT whizzes and math prodigies. Intelligence plays a part, sure. But it’s more about using that intelligence to build automatic processes. You can’t just spend an hour practicing on your phone, then head into a casino and expect to win like a professional. You need real-world experience.
Why? Because if you want to become a casino-crushing machine, you’ve got to do all of these steps perfectly, at the same time, while dealing with all the distractions the casino throws at you.
It’s kind of like patting your head, rubbing your belly, and reciting the alphabet backwards while people are talking to you and randomly blowing an airhorn. Awkward and intimidating the first few times, but doable.
Just think about what you’re doing when you drive a car. Steering, accelerating, braking. Obeying driving laws, being aware of other drivers, navigating to your destination. Simultaneously, without much thought. And often while carrying on a conversation or listening to music.
But you weren’t able to do that the first week, or even month, of driving. You learned, studied the rules of the road, and began putting the steps into practice systematically. Eventually, driving becomes second nature.
It’s the same with card counting. It takes time to get to that point where you’re comfortable doing it all at once. But if you can do each individual task, with practice, you can put it all together and do it automatically.
Train at it like you would anything else you want to master and you will get there!
