I am going to speak for a few minutes about ‘counting cards’ in the game of blackjack. For a long time now, blackjack has been considered one of the only beatable games due to the low house advantage and counting cards is seen as a way of achieving this.

Counting cards works like this – you always have to be aware of how many high value cards and how many low value cards have come out.

The thinking behind this is that when there are more low cards in a shoe the dealer has an advantage and when there are more high cards in a shoe the player has an advantage.

The advantages work like this because the rules state that the dealer must hit when he has a hand of less than 16. Therefore, if the dealer hits with a hand of 12 or more and 10 is the next card, the dealer loses and the player wins.

The whole ‘counting cards’ idea sounds fantastic, but it is still extremely difficult to put into practice. You really need to pay attention and keep an accurate count of the cards when they are being dealt.

There is also the added problem that while you are doing this you still need to be playing. So while you may end up with an advantage you may well have lost a lot of money before you ever got this advantage.

With regards to the advantage you have, it is never greater than 1%. Therefore you may have a very short advantage which disappears the minute the high cards come out.

In conclusion I think that card counting can work if you are an experienced blackjack player and at the same time you are very good at counting quickly. For an average person that has limited blackjack skills I do not believe they would be able to count cards successfully.
