How do you count cards in 21? (just outta curiousity)?

Question

i watched 21 and i really want to know how to count cards! (i have a deck of cards handy right here too) :) help?

thanks! :)

Answer 1

with a single deck there are a couple ways, count them based on number of cards with that point value ( 12 ten point face cards 4 of each of everything else)

but there are people out there who do it with algorithms on the probabilities as they apply to 5 or 6 decks as are used in the casinos.

Answer 2

Studying  Ã¢Â™Â¥

Step 1

Learn the rules of blackjack.

Step2

Learn basic strategy for a six-deck blackjack game with standard Las Vegas rules.

Step3

Acquire and shuffle a normal deck of 52 playing cards.

Step4

Deal out the cards as you would see them in a normal blackjack game in which players try to get as close as possible to 21 without going over.

Step5

Notice the combinations formed and that cards often cancel each other out or make pairs.

Step6

Learn the values of the cards: Aces and 10-value cards (kings, queens, jacks and tens) are worth -1; twos, threes, fours, fives and sixes are worth +1; and sevens, eights and nines are worth 0.

Counting and Betting

Step1

Make a chart (or flash cards) of the rules of basic strategy and memorize it so that it becomes second nature.

Step2

Count down the deck until you can do it in 25 seconds or less. Pairing cards, so that they cancel each other out, will make this easier.

Step3

In the casino, bet when the true count is +2 or higher. Divide the count by the number of decks left in play to get the true count.  

Answer 3

umm all number cards are their number of course, Ace can be 1 or 11 all face cards are 10

Answer 4

socom... dude, this person is talking about cheating, not what each card is valued.

So, the movie 21 didn't show you? So go on the internet and find out.

And speaking of cheating, once a posted a question. A person answered "He shoots, he scored. Two points" as an answer. I don't know who, but use that to get a few extra points.
