  1. You dont, plain and simple

    Im just gogin to give a breif overview of what a card coutnign system actually "does" for you and why it is good.

    As the cards are dealt from a shoe/deck they are permanently removed from play untill the shuffle, therefore the cards being dealt for the very next hand are not coming from an honest 52 card deck (or stack fo several 52 card decks)  the dealer has to follow rigid rules as to when to hit and stand and those rules were based off of  a standard 52 card deck composition, as the deck changes so does the efficiency of the dealers actions as well as the players actions.

    card counting systems break cards into two groups and assign them negetive or positive numbers accordingly, positive numbers for the cards that help the player when removed from the deck, negetive numbers to cards that hurt the player when removed from the deck.

    card counting systems keep track of the ratio betwen those groups so that you have an idea of what kind of cards ahve been removed from the deck(s) and then based on simulation you know how that corelates to the altered house advantage.  A fair percentage of the time, the house advanatage will be wiped out entirely and the edge actually lies with the player.

    The count may also carry a weight onto your playing decisions for certain hands but that is very complicated to explain.


  2. Do every really know what card is going to come next, you only know the probability of what card could come next.   In the hi/low system, you are trying to measure how "In your favor" the deck is.  The fewer 5-2 cards in the deck the higher the probability that the player will get a two face cards or a black jack.  So you never know what card will come next, but you can tell when the odds are in your favor.

  3. If you count cards properly with the hi/lo system (2-5=+1, 7-9=0 and 10-A=-1) then you can keep a running count. With that running count you cannot predict exactly what the next card will be. It gives an estimation of whether the next card will be a big or small card. With that estimation, you place your bet accordingly. A big bet with a positive count (many small cards have already been played) or a small bet with a negative count (many big cards have been played).

    Card counting help swing the odds a little in your favor, but it needs to be done perfectly and there will still be some winning and losing sessions.
