5 Ways to practice card counting in Blackjack

Using memory cards can be a good help to practice card counting, where a point value is assigned to each card.

In this system, point values are triggered to a group of cards, as the High-Low system as follows:

High cards from 10 to Ace are worth -1 point.

Cards 7 to 9 are worth 0 points.

Low cards from 2 to 6 are worth 1 point.

There is also the Uston SS card counting system, more advanced than the High-Low, but more accurate, where the bet correlation is 99%, involving 6 values instead of 3, such as:

Cards 2,4,6 are worth 2 points.

Card 5 is worth 3 points.

Card 7 is worth 1 point.

Card 8 is worth 0 points.

Card 9 is worth minus 1 point.

Cards 10 to Ace are worth minus 2 points.

This tip is based on determining when the deck has more high cards than Low, managing to gain an advantage to the casino, because this way you will increase the chances of getting a natural blackjack. In this way, the dealer, who must hit up to 17, will have a higher probability of being eliminated by having fewer low Cards.

Therefore, the goal of this blackjack card counting practice is to be able to consistently identify the point where the deck is richest in aces and 10s, in order to increase your bets. The good news is that it is possible to use an online blackjack trainer, to train this tip, where they show the values of the cards in a fairly fast mode. Your goal is to be able to count the cards as well as possible.

It should also be noted that these training programs are usually paid, but there are some free ones online, which can be good options to start training your counts.

In addition to coaches, you can coach by playing cards yourself. All you need is a deck of Cards.

Although this tip may seem strange and redundant, since you will be dealing cards to yourself, the truth is that it can help you better understand the whole process and you can start very slowly and increase the speed. Thus, giving yourself cards to play black jack card counting is especially useful for beginner players, who have not yet mastered the speed of the game and thus can control it.

Since when dealing cards to yourself you can't be the dealer, you can solve this issue by training with a friend. All you need is a friend who's well versed in the art of dealing cards while you're counting them. If your friend is a Blackjack fan you can swap seats and practice both.

Even if you are going to play Blackjack online afterwards, card counting needs to be mastered physically to understand the whole concept of the practice. In addition, this is how you can control the speed of distribution of Cards.

This is a tip that should be taken with some caution, as it implies heading to a physical casino and actually watching a Blackjack game, something that many players do not appreciate. However, the truth is that nothing says that you cannot watch a game without betting, but we recommend that you do not make yourself noticed and do not bother the players.

By watching a real game, you will have the opportunity to understand in practice how a Blackjack game unfolds and you can try to practice card counting live. It's a kind of live examination of what you've been testing at home alone or with friends.

It's time to practice what you've learned and tested in a real game. But, attention! Card counting in a real Blackjack game should be done with low stakes so that you don't put a lot of money at risk.

A real experience will put to the test everything you have previously tested and the real factor will probably destroy many of the things you have already taken for granted. As you will be betting little, when you lose, you will not lose much and it serves as great learning.

On the other hand, the fact that you never raise your bets can also exclude you from the game, something that you will be able to evaluate when you increase your card counting experience and feel safer to increase your bets when the count is positive.
