When counting cards for blackjack how do you know when to bet high low or normal what should the count be?

Question

Websites are appreciated too.

Answer 1

in the concept of advantage play, you are either playign with an advantage over the house, or not playing with an advantage over the house.

-You should bet high when you have the advantage, and not at all when you dont.

Card counting systems vary in their point values, also, blackjack games come with varriing hosue advantages that need to be conquered.  Only a computer simulation can show you the actual count, based on your counting system that you begin to have a awinning expectation over the house, usualy it is between a TC of +1 or +1.5 that the tables have turned and you betin to see a small winning expectation. after that typically your edge increases by about 0.5% for every point of true count increase, however the actual advantage increases exponentially larger so at very high counts your edge over the house is much larger than it would be if you guestimated it by that rule of thumb, however, these counts are very rare so using 0.5% per point  works most of the time foir guestimating your edge.  Personally, im only really concerned as to weather or not i have an edge at all not so much as how big it is.

there is a concept of a betting ramp but the logic behind it is complicated, again, simulations needed here to idealise it.  You dont NEED a betting ramp so im just gogin to leave it at that for you, bet when you have the edge, and dont bet when you dont.

This is a fuzzy area of blackjack that has no right or wrong method, you either need a simulation to fine toon the way you wnat to bet, or buy a book that outlines how somebody else fine tooned a betting strategy that is similer to your aplication.  You will find very little accurate info on the web about it if any because its ssomehting that you need to specify yourself based on your personal goals.

if your using -1 for low card and +1 for high cards the the count should be around -10 then you start to incrase your bet.
