Counting Cards at the Casino

>go to casino >play blackjack >look at cards >see numbers >make good guesses about whether you should hit or stand because of the numbers that everyone can see on the table >"Sir will you please come with me, you're counting cards and you need to leave" How the FUCK is this allowed? How the fuck can knowing how to do math in your head not be allowed?

A 4chan-style post shows a blackjack table alongside a green-text story about a player making decisions from the visible card numbers. The casino then removes him for counting cards, leading to outrage that using mental arithmetic is treated as cheating. It is sent as an absurd reaction to rules that punish someone for being competent or thinking logically.
