Basic Strategy, combined with bets that fluctuate based on the best card counting method. Say I played a million games using the method above at a standard blackjack table, and I start with 0. What would my profit be?

It depends on what the table limit is. If the table limit is 1,000,000 then your walking out with 2 mill.
You would end up with around $100,000
This means that you get good cards everytime and can double down every single time. Although this is highly unlikely you never know. Anything can happen.

If your bet fluctuate and it is obvious that youre counting cards, you will be backlisted and sent out. I went through that and my friends went through that too. Btw, luck is still an essential thing in bj.
I would guess zero.
Card counting guarantees zero. A high card count will be offset by a low card count. Successful card counters know how to play their way through the losing streaks without getting cleaned out.
The card shoes will be dealt the same no matter who deals. If a table goes ice cold for the night, then you’ll catch one bad count after another. Conversely if the table goes hot you’ll catch one good count after another.
I’ll judge any card counter based first on what do they do when the table goes ice cold and stays that cold.
Daniel,
At BEST, a blackjack card counter, at an optimal table (which includes good rules for the player… doubling on any two cards, re-split aces, etc., etc.) playing perfectly, might enjoy a 1% to a 2% advantage overall. That’s it. And that’s at best. And no one plays perfectly. And optimal tables are hard to find.
You said you "start" with $100.00, but you didn’t say what your average bet size is. $5.00? $2.00?
Whatever it is, you will bust out long before your theoretical 1 or 2 percent advantage can work for you. The reason is you will see large swings. At times, even with an advantage, you will lose. The swings can be incredible. At times you CAN lose twenty times in a row. At $5.00 per hand, there’s your $100.00 right there.
However, to answer your question, your profit is always your advantage x your bet size. If you are betting $5.00 per hand, and you have a 1% advantage (overall), you can expect to win a nickel on each hand. (Overall.)
Thus, after one million hands, and an advantage of 1% on each hand, betting $5.00 per hand, you can expect to have a profit of $50,000.00.
