Card counting

Card counting is a strategy used in card games – used to determine whether a player has a probability advantage or not. Although the term card counting is usually used to refer to tracking of the ratio of the high cards to the low cards in blackjack, it is also used to refer to getting a count of the distribution of high cards,

in games like contract bridge or spades.

The basic rule in card counting is that a pack of cards, which has a high fraction of high cards as compared to low cards, is excellent for the gambler, and the reverse of this principle is appropriate for the dealer. A pack, which is rich in aces and tens, will improve the player’s odds because they are likely to be more widespread, the dealer can more easily bust a tough hand, and the double-downs are likely to be more successful.

When card counters find that the proportion of high end pack cards to lower end pack cards in their deck is in their support, they hike their bets. They also adjust their strategy based on this ratio. They make these adjustments in their playing and betting strategy, and this gives them and a lead in the house.

People wrongly believe in the myth (reinforced by the blockbuster Rain Man) extraordinary qualities are needed for card counting to be able to tally cards. In reality, they do not track and memorize specific cards; rather, card counters allocate points and track the entire score.
