Blackjack Card Counting Explained<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Card counting is an effective blackjack<\/a> strategy used to determine who has an advantage on the next hand. Knowing whether the dealer or player has the advantage is how you can overcome the casino house edge<\/a>. Simply put, card counting<\/a> means keeping track of the number of high and low cards left in the dealer’s deck. Of course, knowing that you’ll bet less when the casino has an advantage. But when you have an advantage than betting more is the way to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Origins of Card Counting<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first effective card counting strategy we know about can be found in Edward Thorp’s 1962 book “Beat the Dealer”. Though he wasn’t the first to come up with card counting, he is considered the father of it. But actually, it was Jess Marcum who first counted cards in 1949. In fact, it was his counting method that was a complete points-counting system. Of course, there are other notable contributions like the book “Playing Blackjack to Win” (1957) and Harold Smith Sr.\u2019s strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Successful Blackjack Card Counting: Important Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As long as you know blackjack rules<\/a> and how to play the game, then you also know that high cards profit the player. On the flip side, low cards befit the dealer. But if you are a beginner, the Hi-Lo strategy might be the best place to begin. Here is how to count cards successfully:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Value for Every Card<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Hi-Lo is the most common card counting system out there. The strategy stipulates that high cards (10s, 9s, and Aces) are assigned a value of -1. On the other hand, low cards (2 \u2013 6) in any suit, have a value of +1. The remaining cards are worth 0 or you could say they are neutral. Naturally, the counting starts at 0. Then you simply add the card’s value to the total and keep track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Running Count vs. The True Count<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to card counting, the main objective is to figure out the concentration of high cards. By counting the ones that have already been dealt, you can quickly find out the proportion of high cards in relation to the remaining decks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it\u2019s important to remember that the running count and the true count are two different things. The running count is the current total to which you add new information when cards are dealt. When the running count value increases, the advantage starts to shift to the player. But if the total goes into negatives, the dealer’s advantage increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, the true count is the value obtained by dividing the running count by the remaining number of decks. For example, a +5 running count with six decks remaining means there is less than one additional high card per deck remaining. So in this case, the player has no advantage yet. But if you have a +5 running count and only one remaining deck, it means there are five extra 10’s and\/or Aces in the remaining 52 cards. In other words – the player has the edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adjust Your Wagers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

To get the most out of this table game<\/a> classic, you should be adjusting your wagers based on what you know from counting. So use the information you get from the true and running counts to keep track of when the house edge flips in your favor. Then, raise your stakes when the true count rises \u2013 the cards favor you, so place big bets. However, when the count is negative or neutral, bet small amounts as the odds are against you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Improve Your Card Counting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everyone can do card counting by following a few simple steps. However, if you want to up your game, here are some tricks to apply:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
