Counting Cards

If you want to take your blackjack to the next level then you can learn how to card count. Here on Blackjack.com we have a very good school written by experts and professionals. It is written in a modular way but please be under no illusion that it is easy to master. However, having said that, if you follow the logical sequence of the lessons and practice there is no reason at all why you should not become expert at card counting.

Blackjack is the only casino table game where the cards that have already been dealt from the pack dictate the probability of winning with the cards that remain in the pack. In short, high cards remaining in the pack are bad for the dealer since because the rules of blackjack dictate that the dealer has to draw in certain circumstances, a high proportion of high value cards will increase the probability that the dealer will bust. It's by no means certain but it significantly improves your chances. The way you can take advantage of this is to bet higher amounts when there are higher proportions of high cards left in the pack.

A word of warning though! It is doubtful that any online blackjack games will allow you this advantage for real money. Most online blackjack games reshuffle the pack after every hand! Whilst it is possible to gain the advantage in a land-based casino environment, the Casino managements are very aware of the possibility that card counters can gain this advantage and commit considerable resources to spotting card counters so that they can be stopped from playing.

At Blackjack.com, we have plans to incorporate elements of card counting in our gameplay on the play for fun side, so make sure you have joined the club to receive regular updates about new software releases.
