You can still count and win with any standard combinations and correct payouts but those two points you made were way off.

I was speaking in generalities to address the points that card counting doesn't work... or that 6 decks makes it harder. It does work. Its not harder. It's still the same practice of tracking how many high/low cards are in the deck and betting accordingly. It's still done all the time. People have been doing it successfully since the early 60s when casinos stopped with single decks (when that guy published his book after being banned in just a few days from almost every Nevada casino... and they have made many millions and millions over the decades counting cards. The most famous of which, are the MIT teams.
