Card Counting
Counting the cards is a difficult thing to do
when the dealers pull from an eight-deck shoe.
When deuces, treys, and fours leave the place,
there are good chances for a ten or an ace.
The wagers tend to be a little bit more.
It is anticipated there will be twenty-ones galore.
Cards in eight decks amount to four hundred sixteen.
Determining what comes next will not be too keen.
What is to stop the dealer from getting a ten and an ace?
That would not appear too nice in this place.
An uncommon occurrence it is not.
In fact, the dealers get blackjacks a lot.
Whenever croupiers win, it is not too funny.
How else do you think the house makes its money?
