Are you asking if you could learn to count cards simply by watching the movie? That’s preposterous.
If you want to learn to count cards, you need buy a book that outlines an effective strategy (not just google search card counting, you need a lot more information than I’ve ever seen on a website to do it effectively), and practice it until you’ve got it down pat.
After you’ve done that, you’ll be able to create a small advantage at real casinos if you can effectively execute the proper strategies without being detected.
You will NOT win hundreds of thousands of dollars like the people in the movie. They were playing in teams (not as individuals) which is pretty much impossible to get away with now. The movie is also romanticized and exaggerated. Some of the real members will admit that they did not win nearly as much money as some of the books on the subject or the movie seemed to suggest. You can earn a decent amount of money if properly bankrolled and skilled enough, but it’s not a get rich quick scheme.
