    Card counting in Italy

    I'm Italian and here there are only 5 casinos in the whole country. Not sure if counting cards would work in a country like this. If I get backed off from the 3 closest casinos to me I'm kind of screwed.
    Perhaps Italian casinos won't pay much attention to card counters, 'cause we don't have a big gambling culture, and betting low might help.
    Can anyone who has ever been to a casino in Italy, or is an Italian card counter, share his experience?

    Like for example, most casinos in croatia kicked me out, but the only one that let me play was giving me 3-3.5/6 pen. I think Italy will be the same way. This is beatable with good rules (need surrender) I ran sim on 1x5 euros-4x100 euros it is like 75 euros per hour and massive N0 like 550 hours. I dont know if the casino would let you play for 550 hours, you knw? Another problem is very low maximum. Europe has mostly 100 euro max, maybe higher is you ask special table. but this is another way to restrict you. Once you lose casino, next tolerant one in Europe is very far away. PLaying Europe is very difficult and a headache. But for fun, sure why not!!! We are all gambling with an edge, variance aside..............
