Best Blackjack Counting Cards System

Blackjack Counting Cards strategy seems to be the most debatable point that a player might be looking for when playing Blackjack game. The movie the Rain Man explained how easy card counting might be with the example of the main hero Raymond Babbit that counts 6 decks with ease and helped his bro to win a great pile of money in Blackjack game. After that, the counting strategies and systems became one of the most popular searches on the Internet. Lots of players were eager to know how to bring down the casino hall just like the Rain Man had.

The main idea behind counting is that a deck with a higher ratio of high cards (tens and Aces) is great for the player, while the higher rate of little cards is great for the croupier. Larger ratio of big cards is favourable for the player just cause the blackjacks are now more often, the dealer is more likely to lose a stiff hand (as he must hit until 17), and all the doubles are more likely to win.

The experienced card counter would raise his bet when the card count is in the player favour. Moreover, the playing strategy of counters adjusts to the count and thus offers the gambler higher mathematical odds. The tactic of Blackjack Counting Cards is not in memorising the cards but in keeping track of all the cards as they are dealt by adding or subtracting a certain assigned value to high and low cards to an independent count.

Any count starts with a zero. Afterwards, little values are subtracted and added to the count regarding the card that has just been dealt. For example, once 10 is dealt first, the count changes -1, when a 2 follows, the count turns to 0 etc.

Usually the card counting strategies apply the +1 and -1 count, assigning the next values to the cards:

2- 7 are valued as +1

8, 9 are valued as 0

10, Jack, Queen, King, Ace are counted as -1

This Blackjack Counting Cards strategy is targeted at looking for the plus count. In case the card count is plus, the players are more probably to receive a Natural and the dealer is more probably to bust as it means that mostly small cards were dealt, therefore the deck is high in large cards. Furthermore, the high plus count signals you to wager larger sums of money and thus win much more. While when the card count begins to fall, you should wager less as the online casino has the edge now.
