I have always heard that card counting is tolerated because it is somewhat difficult to accurately pull off amidst all the various distractions on a casino floor and making even one error can shift the advantage back to the casino by a power of 10. What they are trying to prevent is an organized group of people working together to determine when the count is in the player’s favor and then having a new bettor come in and make huge bets and then leave. The casino can combat this by preventing mid-shoe entry, lowering max bets, shuffling more often or using a continuous shuffle system. Then they ask you to leave if you still insist on running a counting scheme and can ban you from the casino, too.
They literally dgaf if you’re winning $200 at your $5 blackjack table.
