Learn the fundamentals of card counting to gain an edge
2-6 = +1, 7-9 = 0, 10-Ace = -1. Keep a running count to track the deck composition.
Divide the running count by the number of decks remaining. This gives you the true count for accurate betting.
Bet more when the true count is high (player advantage) and less when it's low. Increase your chances of winning.
