They are fairly common. Once they are caught they are banned from most casinos because casinos share a list of card counters. The card counters on the list are then banned from gaming at those casinos. Counting cards isnt illegal, but you can be asked to leave the casino if you count cards.

The Casino reserves the right to refuse service to anyone with No reason Needed. As for the card counting. The casino may assign a count team member to you and have that employee count the shoe with you (as the dealer or a customer). If you raise bets when the count is favorable it will be obvious because the counts will match. it would be very rare to even suspect a non-counter as a card counter, but if that were the case it is the casinos right to be wrong and still bar them. Back rooming and all the scare tactics are complete baloney for the most part , (although the casino does thier part to keep the myth alive) What they can and will do is arrest you on the spot for cheating after being warned. Counters aren't cheaters, just advantaged players so nothing to worry about....but............. if they did knock out a few teeth, who are you going to tell..... casino security?:)

Card counters are not common at all, what you find is people playing basic strategy or trying to. Most systems for counting cards accurately demand an almost photographic memory.
I'm a casino Manager and have been in the business for 20 years and worked in 8 countries, i could probably count on my fingers the amount of counters that have seen.

There are probably thousands of people who have read books and tried to learn to count cards. However there are dozens of card counting systems. Some are very basic, and others involve significant observation and mental arithmetic to pull off.
The vast majority of card counters are not successful. Even with an amazing card counting system, you can only know that the deck is in your favor. This does not mean you will always win. You could have an amazingly favorable shoe left and still lose every bet you make.
A good card counter needs to be able to handle these massive swings, runs of bad luck, avoid being noticed as a card counter, and use a card counting system pretty flawlessly. If they can do all of that, they can make good money. However, in most casinos if they see you winning a lot of Blackjack and betting as a card counter would, it is only a matter of time before they show you the door.

They're probably pretty common. They usually get banned from the casino(s), though.

That depends on whether you mean card counters or successful card counters. I don't think there are many who get away with it.

Please relate your question to a casino operator, you will get a perfect answer, unless someone who is answering is a casino operator.
