Card counting can be tough to start, but it can reap good results once you get proficient at it. As you dive deeper into the world of counting, you’ll realise that there are a lot of ways to do that, some are easy and some harder than the others. Their complexity is directly proportional to how they work and sometimes can be overwhelming for the average person.
Usually, a more complex system will give you an edge over the house. But keep in mind that a complex system will be harder to execute and you’ll need plenty of practice. Another thing to be wary of is how the casinos deal with card counters, some are lenient, and some are very strict with their policies. For more details, always read the casino’s rulebook.
A simple card counting system
Less complex card counting systems are less accurate but easier to use. This makes them a very good gateway into the world of counting cards.
10 count
Edward Thorp, in his book “Beat the Dealer” mentioned a system that could lower the house edge. He created a 10 count system in the 1960s when only a single deck was used. It is one of the easiest systems to understand and implement and gives you a small advantage at the end of the day.
How it works
● A-9 = +4
● J-K = -9
As it is easy to follow, it works very well if you have to track two card groups only. The system when one plays a multi-deck game.
Complex System
For an even larger edge, one uses a system like an Omega II which helps you make more profit at the end of the day.
Omega II
This is a level 2 system that was first mentioned in “Blackjack for Blood” by Bryce Carlson. It usually has counts that go from -2 to +2.
How to assign numbers
● +1 is for 2,3 and 7
● +2 is for 2,5 and 6
● 0 is for 8 and Ace
● -1 is for 9
● -2 is for 10, jack, queen and king
One must process a lot of information in real-time, and if you master this system, you can easily rake in good profits.
Conclusion
It does not matter what system you use at the end of the day; what matters is how experienced you are with the systems and how well you can implement it. If you are just beginning your gambling journey, don’t rush into the more complex systems. Explore more and make sure you are comfortable with simpler systems so that you get used to the counting process.
Blackjack card counting is not easy and will only come in handy with a lot of practice. You’ll also have to study and research the system a lot. Training can include online trainers, books or videos on the subject.
One of the most overlooked facts is that you’ll need a large enough bankroll so to gain the experience needed to find a system that suits you and are comfortable in executing with perfection.
