Casinos know about card counters but are unable to deal with them effectively just like people dealing with social engineers. 1. Bet sizes can be up to around ~$10k with a 1% - 3% EV per hand. 2. Doesn't matter too much, standard 6 or 8 deck shoes still are 0.5% EV at true count 2 and +0.5% thereafter. 3. This matters more, but most counters eye dealers with 70%+ penetration of all the decks, which still averages to the +EV above. Returns are ~$50/hr at your average casino but the sky is the limit for having mid 6 figure bankroll and being a smooth social engineer with $5k bets at high roller tables. Some hands are +$50-$250 per.
