Answer 2

For one blackjack decks vary in a casino they may play with 6 decks of cards or 4 decks.It is very unlikely they will use 52 this would be to easy to card count. The likelihood of getting a low card after 2 high cards have been drawn is quite high although you might end up with another high card. Low cards tend to be quite rear and you will most likely get high cards straight after them. Think of 1-5 as low cards and 6-10 as high. More to the point just try and predict the card using probability. Hope this helps T.W

Remember never do this in a casino if they find out your doing this they will prosecute you!

Answer 3

The intracacies of card counting could make for one very long but very interesting report if you compiled it all together.

I will explain in the simplest way possible.

Card counting attacks the fact that though the cards are coming from an honest 52 card deck, or a stack of 52 card decks, after the first hand is dealt the reaming cards are what they are and no longer represent a regular decks composition.

By removing cards fom the game, the odds of the game change since events that require specific cards happen more or less frequently.

Simply put some cards favor the player when removed and some cards favor the dealer when removed for reasons such as,

-the dealer busting more/less often

-an increase/decrease in the effectiveness of doubling down or splitting

-an increased presence of "blackjacks" or "naturals" which get payed typically 3:2

There are many card counting systems, but all of them asign point values to cards, typically positive ones for cards that help the player when removed, and negetive ones for cards that help the player when removed.  It may go fursther to assign larger or smaller values to more accurately reflect how important the cards removal is.

By adding the point values together the card counter has a rough idea of the point value of the cards that are left undealt and some kind fo idea of what is to come next from the shoe.

There is a point that a card countewr will recegnise when the tables have turned on the house and the player actually has an advantage, when this happend they will either begiun playing, or increase their bets dramatically.

Card counters also use the information they keep track of to decide how to play hands.

Thats pretty much what it is simply put

There are other techniques "card counters" use that help them to win more money such as shuffle trackign and predicting when certain cards are gogin to come out of the deck.  Information on these techniques is pery private personal information and is typically not discussed openly by card counters.

Answer 4

Well, theres about 52 (correct me if im wrong) cards in the deck. Keep an eye on what all the face ups are, if the dealer has a Royal card, then chances are theres another face down or another card of high value, just keep tabs on what goes into play and how many times the other players 'hit', the more they use up the deck, the more likly you are to bust if you have 16+ card value.
