What I'm saying is, they have mathematical models that they follow to decide whether someone is counting. I suspect this guy was in fact using information about cards played to vary his future bets -- in effect counting, but he was doing it in a way that did not fit the house's models for what card counters normally do. He clearly knew more than the people who were watching him, so the fact that all the 'experts' were paying attention doesn't mean he wasn't following a winning strategy.
