Count the cards, however, is only another way of
thinking strategically throughout the game, and above all, is not
prohibited by law. Therefore, we see no reason not to count the cards
themselves, but we strongly recommend that inexperienced players do not
try in a casino because of reprisals if they are noticed by the security
service. In other words, we do not want you to come get caught.
Counting cards online is practically worthless because of the random
number generators used in online casinos. But in live casinos, which
several hands of blackjack can be played before reaching the point where
the dealer has to shuffle the deck, card counting can be very effective.
One of the most profitable and perhaps the easiest way for counting
cards, is to use the strategy of Hi-Lo. The system is basically a
technique of execution counts where each card is assigned a specific
value. The system is used to distinguish when the relationship between
the decks of blackjack cards of high value and low value cards is
unbalanced.
High value cards as ten, aces and face cards not only increases the
chance to do blackjack but also to achieve a total score of 20. A deck
that has the most cards of high value, is a very profitable situation
for the player, as it increases the chance of the dealer going bust. In
other situations, in which most of the remaining cards in the deck are
low value cards, all the cards from 2 to 6, the dealer will have a
considerable advantage over the player. All cards from 7 to 9 are
considered neutral and will not be counted in the Hi-Lo. Here's how the
count would be during a random hand of blackjack
The fact that the dealer must draw down in difficult situations (scores
from 12 to 16) in a situation where a lot of low value cards are still
in the deck, reduces the chance of busting when the dealer to pull down
another card . If there are many high-value cards (ace, ten, and
figures) in the deck, the probability of the dealer going bust has
increased significantly. |
