Hi-Lo Card CountingWhile there are many ways of card counting when playing Blackjack, the Hi-Lo
card counting system is certainly one of the most popular. If you want to make
this system work successfully for you, be prepared to put in many hours of
practice and diligence.
The way this system works is that you give point values to every card that is
being played at the Blackjack table. There are only three values that you ever
assign, namely negative one, zero or positive one. Cards with values 2, 3, 4, 5,
and 6 each count as positive one, cards with values 7,
8, 9 each count as zero, and Aces and picture cards each count as negative one.
While playing, you need to keep a mental note of all the cards as their total
will help you formulate a betting strategy. In short, the more 10-point cards
and Aces waiting to be dealt, the bigger the chances you have of winning.
If your
total is zero or close to it, this means neither your or the dealer have the
advantage.
If your total is minus, then change your table or take a break. A minus figure
says you should not bet wildly. It is important to note that the hi-lo card
counting system will only work in conjunction with a good knowledge of a basic
online Blackjack strategy.
The bottom line is that if want to become an online Blackjack guru, you need to
do a lot of research and learning before you attempt to use Hi-Lo card
counting.
