Counting cards in Blackjack
The basic of the system lays in the fact the high cards (10+ or ace) simply better for the player in this game. Cards like 4, 5 and 6 are better for the dealer. Moreover if you got an ace your chances to have Blackjack had improved rapidly (blackjack automatically gives you winning rate of one to one and half).the dealer on the other hand needs to deal with “stiff hands” and must make another withdraw if he has 12-16, therefore, when you see that the dealer dealt himself an high card ten for example you better sit tight and wait.
| Counting cards does not demand special abilities like the myth might suggest because one does not need to memorize the cards only to keep to a simple and strict rules and one count.
Counting cards has three options: you rank any card you see with a “negative score”, “zero score” or a “positive score”. There are many ways or better say “counting-systems” from Hi-Lo to Omega 2 the differences in the systems comes from different conceptions of the game. Or and even more important is the difficult level of the conform the novice counter. |

Before you go on to try any of the systems live you better practice it in doors.

First not even during a game but simply drew cards from the deck and just count, after 20 cards stop and check you’re counting. When you feel ready try it on a friendly game if it works you are ready to play for.
real otherwise go back and practice some more you do not want to pay for studying.
Tip: when you are real good you can add an additional count (that means you have two numbers to remember all time) of aces it can only improve you chances.
