  1. Counting systems are more simple than that.  All cards are given a value, like 2-6 is worth -1, 7-9 worth 0, and 10-A worth +1, for example.

    So you don't have to remember each and every card that has been dealt, there are not many people in the world who can do that.  But in the example I just gave you would keep a running count in your head, merely subtracting or adding a number for each card that comes out.  So that way you only need to remember one number.

    It's all about tracking the shoe and knowing when the count is sufficiently high to justify larger bets.

    You can't predict what cards are left to come, but you can know when the deck is stacked in your favor and thus take advantage of that.

    Of course you also have to know perfect basic strategy, or the system is worthless.  And even if the count is in your favor as a player, there is still variance or luck that can still s***w you over.

    These days it is definitely not a license to print money.


  2. basically yes. Usually there is a strategic system where low cards and high cards are counted as having similar value. Thus, when there are more low cards left in the deck than high cards, the dealer is at an advantage and you bet the minimum. When there are more high cards than low cards left, the player is at an advantage and you bet more.  It is very difficult though and since they use multiple decks at the casinos, its not very efficient.

    Its not about predicting specific cards, its about the probability that those coming cards are to your advantage over the dealer.

  3. In a sense yes.  Counting cards is a plus and minus system.  All of the 10 value cards are a plus.  When the count is in the plus, there are more 10 value cards in the deck and you bet more.  There are books on the subject at the library if you are really interested in learning.

  4. No, that's some counting system such as 1~5 marked as -1point, 6~9 as zero point and 10~K marked as 1 point. In this case, when the possitive value appear, next card high posibility is a small card.  

    The less cards, the more accurate. And many casino know about this system, and now they are implement up to 64 sets of poker to make the calcuation system getting less effective.  

  5. You don't remember cards. You assign a value to cards that are good and bad for the player. By adjusting this value to the count, you can modify how much money you bet on the next hand. You can also vary your strategy according to the count also.  

  6. It is really. Have a look at http://www.best-casinosites.com/blackjac... for a video tutorial on how to do it
