Counting Cards Blackjack Strategy
Counting Cards Blackjack strategy proves to be the most attractive point that a player might be looking for when playing Blackjack. The film the Rain Man explained how easy the card counting might be with the example of the main character Raymond Babbit who counts down 6 decks of cards easy and helped his brother to win a great amount of money in Blackjack game. Afterwards, the card counting systems became one of the most popular searches on the Internet. Lots of users were eager to find out how to beat the gambling room just as the Rain Man had.
The basic idea behind Counting Cards Blackjack system lies in the fact that a deck with a higher proportion of big cards (tens and Aces) is great for the gambleer, while the higher proportion of small cards is good for the croupier. Larger rate of big cards is great for the player just because the naturals become more often, the dealer is more probable to lose a stiff hand (as he has to hit until 17), and all the double options are more successful.
The professional card counter would increase his/her wager when the card count is in the player favour. Moreover, the gambling tactic of counters adjusts to the count and thus provides the gambleer larger mathematical odds. The technique of card counting is not in memorising the cards but in tracking of all the cards as they are dealt by adding or subtracting a certain determined value to big and low cards to a different count.
Every count begins with a zero. After that, little values are subtracted and added to it regarding the card that has just been dealt. Example, once 10 is dealt first, the card count changes -1, in case a 2 follows, the card count is now 0 etc.
Most of counting systems apply the +1 and -1 count, providing the following values to all the cards:
2-7 are counted as +1
8, 9 are counted as 0
10, Jack, Queen, King, Ace are valued as -1
The Counting Cards Blackjack system is aimed at looking for the plus count. If the count is plus, the players are more probably to receive a Blackjack and the croupier is more likely to bust as it means that mostly little cards have been dealt, thus the deck is high in high cards. Furthermore, the large plus card count means you should wager bigger amounts of cash and thus win much more. While when the count starts to fall, you should wager less as the casino has the advantage now.
