The Secret of Counting Cards at Blackjack

Although counting cards at blackjack is not considered illegal in casinos, gambling operators have the right to ask gamblers to leave their premises if the gambler is suspected of counting cards.  As for online casinos, there is no need to be concerned about getting caught counting cards, for there is no way to monitor players sitting at their home computers. 

A difficult practice to master, counting cards can payoff very well for a blackjack player who is doing everything else right while playing the game (such as knowing when to double down and betting the right size stakes in general). 

The lesson to learn from all this is that if you want to count cards while in a brick 'n mortar casinos, you should attempt to do so in a way that does not show you counting your fingers or some other peculiar habit to help you remember what cards have been dealt and which are still in the deck. 

As hard as it can be, with a lot of practice, you could potentially carry on a conversation with the dealer and other players, while all the while keeping track of the cards.  Just remember, it is a skill that takes much practice and dedication.
