Card Counting In Blackjack - What it is and how its done

by Oleg Korneitchouk

Yes, counting cards is a good idea if you want to make it big in the game of blackjack.Card Counting is NOT remembering every single card in the game. Not at all.Card Counting is NOT 100 accurate, but it gives a HUGE boost in your favor, trust me.So, here it is, the easy card counting way for beginners.What it is, is simply a point administration system. You add and subtract points with the start point of 0.All cards 2-6 are worth 1 pointsAll cards 10-A are worth -1 pointsAll cards 7-9 are worth 0 points.Getting the picture? If the count is positive, then there has been a lot of low cards dealt, and there are more face cards in the deck, which is always favorable for you. BET MORE!If the count is negative, there has been a lot of face cards dealt, which means that there is a surplus of low cards in the deck, which is always bad for you. BET LESS!How to practice? Well, there is a simple method. Take a normal deck of cards. Close your eyes. Hold the deck of cards with the open bottom card towards your face. Open your eyes, and go through the deck. Count the points. You should always reach 0 in the end. The trick isn't to get 0, but to count the deck in 30 seconds or less. No, that is NOT easy, and it takes a lot of practice. Visualize the point count in front of you, and you will see vast improvement. There are also pieces of software for this, some simulate casino speed. Search on 'Card counting software' on Google and you will surely find it.It is uncertain though, if online casinos shuffle the decks before every deal, or if they simulate casino conditions. I have heard that some do and some don't. My opinion is that they do, from my own experience, but if you want to be sure, go to a real life casino.Hope it helped.
