A Little Help with Blackjack Cards Counting

Blackjack has always been a target for experts to rake in money. Experts have  applied strategies and systems to this game to twist the odds of winning in their favor. There are many methods to do so but card counting is perhaps the most used and trusted method.

Blackjack cards counting is a mathematical system that helps predict whether it's a good time to place bigger bets or not. A cards counter usually keeps a mental count of high and low cards dealt. This count is either positive, negative, or neutral. When the count is positive, a cards counter places bigger bets because a positive count indicates a deck rich in high value cards. A negative count indicates there are more low cards in the deck. Cards counters usually place lower bets if the count is negative or neutral.

To perform Blackjack cards counting, you need to assign a positive and negative value to different cards in a deck. Assign a value of +1 to cards from 2 to 6. Assign a value of -1 to cards from 10 to Ace. Ignore the cards from 7 to 9; they won't be used during the cards counting.

Initialize your count to 0. Add 1 to it every time a positive card is dealt. Subtract 1  from the count each time a negative card is dealt. If you have a +2 or higher positive count at the end of a round or when cards are dealt to every player, you can be sure that the remaining deck is rich in high cards and you have more chances of winning. If the count is negative or zero, place lower bets.

Blackjack cards counting is not as easy as it looks. There's a lot of noise, the dealer talks to you, other players at the table talk to one another – all these factors make cards counting a little complicated. Besides, you need speed and focus and  some card counting tips in mind. . Calculating cards as they are dealt is not a piece of cake. So be well prepared before you enter a casino as a Blackjack cards counter.
