This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It 100% is still a good way to make money. It's harder than it was, but I guarantee there's card counters out there clearing heaps of cash each year. I know someone who makes good money doing it here in Australia (he used to be a top ranked poker player but picked up blackjack cos the money is easier. Ie, he doesn't have to sit at the table as long to make his wad). And I just googled, and there is a shitload of people still saying it's viable, many of them well known in the field. It's not even hard to do right either, those big bet swings you talked about? Yeah, you do them your first week of learning to count before you wise up...
