Method No.:Counting the 10’s

(This method is a bit mathematically challenging)

Note: Click here to open mini dictionary

 

Every deck contains 16 cards of which value equals to 10 (the K, Q and J) and 36 additional cards of various values.

The ratio between the number of 10’s and the other cards in the deck influences the player’s odds. The more 10’s the deck contains, the higher are your odds.

When the ratio is 1:2 or less, player’s odds improve (1 ten for 2 other cards). When the game starts the ratio is 16:36 that is 1:2.25, so the dealer’s has an advantage.

The hard part is that you have to keep a double count:

1. first you evaluate quickly how many 10’s and how many other cards were drawn from the deck during the first round.
2. Now decrease those from the 16:36 ratio respectively, (for example, if you counted 5 tens and 3 others, the new ratio is 11:33).
3. Divide the number of the others by the number of the 10’s, if the result is higher than 2, odds are against the player. if the result is 2 or lower, odds are in favor of the player. (in the given example, the result is 3, pretty bad)

 

Plus, when keeping count of the 10’s, player has a fair chance of knowing when to “insure” against the dealer possible black jack.

Method No.:Ace Counting

 

In this system, cards has a relative value:

A = +4

K, Q or J = +1

Others = -1

So a deck’s value is:

4 aces = 16

16 K, Q and J= 16

32 others = -32

total 0

1. add 1 point every time a card is drawn
2. when an ace appear, decrease 5 points
3. when an ace appear, decrease 2 points

good luck!
