Surely that is a skill that intelligent punters can develop to increase the odds of winning or decrease the odds of losing?

A casino could care less if you are a card counter UNLESS you are winning! So, count all you want and if you win and they kick you out accusing of counting the cards move on to the next casino. Fair? It is a business decision. Don't take it personally but if it was me I would be bragging about it!

Is it fair? Of course not. But the thing to remember is that you're making a bet. And any casino can refuse to take your bet, for any reason. If they think you've got an edge, or even if you're just very lucky, then they don't want to gamble with you. It'd be like if you offered to bet them 1 million dollars at 1-1000 odds (so you'd only make 1000) that Mike Tyson could beat an 8 year old in the ring. They wouldn't take that bet. And if they think you're counting cards they won't take your bet that you'll win a blackjack hand. What I want to know is, why isn't the government hiring these people to take charge of homeland security? Planning to blow up a building nothing, you can't do math in your head without these people figuring it out!

Its not fair, but its legal. Casinos try and make card counters sound illegal when it is just using your head to try and gain a mathamatical advantage and even then, even the best counters only gain a few percentage points. When an inexperianced counter tries his luck the casinos actually have a better win rate because of all the mistakes they usually make.
In NJ they cant ask you to leave but they can switch dealers and reshuffle every few hands to make the place unplayable.

And, let me get this straight--- you've used the words "fair" and "casino" in the same sentence here and I didn't see any (hehehehe) attached anywhere (??) Come on, dude !!
The letter of the Law in a casino is ---They are the Law
they can basically do any dang thing that they want and there isn't a "fairness" clause one in the deal (on OR off the tables)

No, its not fair, and in New Jersey, they can't throw you out, but everywhere else, the casinos have the right to refuse service to anyone, and they exercise that right. You just have to hope that you are not put in one of their facebooks, because that will get you banned from any blackjack table in the city at least.

A casino can ask you to leave for any reason it deems appropriate. Counting cards is considered cheating. Most casinos will ask you to leave if you are winning too much as well--it's their perogative.

No, It is no fair if you are asked to leave a casino if they accused you of counting the cards because you should count the cards before playing the game.
