a. individuals can't count cards. card counting operations require a team to really work

b. it's all but impossible to count cards in major casinos these days. too many decks in play

It's my understanding that even with several decks the odds can really swing and you simply bet appropriately on those swings. Bet low or fold when the odds are against you and bet high when the odds are with you. Some people are really good at the +1, -1 system.

You're smarter than this. It's much better to count on a 6 deck shoe as there are not enough cards delt on a single or double deck shoe for the count to get high enough to experience any positive expected value.

The amount of cards in play - single/double deck vs 6 deck shoe has nothing to do with the level of difficulty of counting cards. And you are literally just adding and subtracting the number 1 over and over again.
