Card Counting With Blackjack Pro:
Basic blackjack card counting strategy is simple. Its not necessary to keep track of every individual card. Instead, a specific value is assigned to each card.
| 10,J,Q,K,A | High Value Cards | -1 |
| 2,3,4,5,6 | Low Value Cards | +1 |
| 7,8,9 | Neutral Cards | N/A |
The higher value cards are assigned a value of -1 because each time one of those cards is drawn from the deck it makes the deck less favorable to the player. The opposite is also true. For every low value card that is dealt, the deck becomes more favorable because those cards are being removed. Having the low value cards removed increases the odds that your next card or set of cards will be 10's or Ace's. Conversely, when your count is (-) negative, chances are your next card or cards won't be face cards. The difficult part of counting cards is keeping a running total of your addition and subtraction throughout 6 or 8 deck shoe with 5-6 other players at the table. To effectively count cards you must keep track of every card that is dealt. Keeping this count in your head requires a tremendous amount of concentration and skill. The patented computer inside the Blackjack Pro does all of this work for you and makes implementing this strategy extremely simple.
