Card Counting A lot of people getting started in blackjack think to themselves “I wish I could count cards”, or “Card Counters must be geniuses!”. Well If you don’t already know better I’m going to let you in on a little secret about card counting and blackjack. A 5 year old can be taught how to count cards! It is what it is, simple counting. There are no complicated formulas. You don’t have to remember the cards that have been dealt. If you can add and subtract you can make a great living at the blackjack tables! It does however take a bit of practice to be able to do it at game speed. How Card Counting Works:Cards with a face value of 7,8, or 9 count as zero or not at all. Every card between 2 and 6 count as plus 1. all cards 10 through Ace count as minus one. So if the count is high this means that the remainder of the multiple decks are currently stacked with high face value cards. Anybody can see how this would give advantage to the card counter. How To Apply This Skill:You want to bet only the table minimum each hand until the count starts to lean in your favor. By in your favor I mean at least plus 5.
