(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Many of you most likely heard of this before. If you learn this pretty well, you can win a lot of money in BlackJack. But you have to be pretty quick at adding and thinking as the dealer moves fast. Also you have to be pretty chill just winning hand after hand and not stare at the cards and count with your mouth. So watch the movie, "21" and learn well :p.
Remember that counting cards is not illegal, it's just frowned upon.

Alright, well here goes, I'll explain the best I can with out having you read the whole thing on Wiki.

I will be talking about using the Hi-Lo system.
Basically every card has a value of either +1 -1 or 0.
Cards 2-6 are +1
Cards 7-9 are 0.
Cards 10-A are -1.
Here is a picture.

Just look at Hi-Lo for now :p.

Alright, so now might be the hardest part to understand.
There is a thing called the card count, which is just the count of the cards you see on the table.
So let's say 3 people and the dealer.
You got a 4, 8.
Other person, 5.
Other person, 10.
Dealer K.
The count would be zero.
What I do is look for the +1's 1st... but do whatever is better for you.
So basically when the low cards are out there and the count is high, you have a great chance at getting a high card.
Note that in casinos there are many decks at the table in motion at all times.
Umm, that's pretty much it from me.
Each deck count will always turn out to be zero.
So when you practice you can know the last card almost.

Any questions, post here xD.

Jon is right counting cards isn't illegal but in certain casinos I wouldn't do it as you will probably end up a bit sore....

Nice thread Jon, as usual. This was really informative, and will hopefully help me out in the future. Now let me try. You= +1. Me= 1. My 1 rep star plus your rep equals 2. :whistle:
