The number of theories and rumors involving card counting are endless. It is a well known fact that in the nineteen sixties there was one or two teams of card counters who roamed the casinos of Las Vegas, the Mid West, the East Coast as well as the West, making themselves a lot of money in the process. Their activities were eventually discovered and word spread throughout the casino network. These roaming blackjack bandits were warned that for the good of their health, they shouldn’t set foot in a casino again. Or at least so folklore tells it. Nowadays the level of security as well as awareness of the various methods used by card counters has made this potential profit earner much less attractive than it once was. If anyone is still succeeding a blackjack card counter in land casinos they are certainly not talking about it. And neither are the casinos.

Counting cards when playing blackjack online is a different ball game altogether. To begin with, instead of having to count cards from six decks, the player only has to count from one. On the other hand, after every hand of blackjack played online the cards are shuffled. That means that the player is denied the possibility of counting through a few hands, and has to take advantage of their card counting skills and any aids that they have at their disposal on a single hand basis. That doesn’t mean that it is impossible, only more difficult.
The implication of the player counting cards on a single shuffle deal is that they should try and spread their risks and options by playing multi-handed, and the more hands the better. You should study the chart below to get a fuller picture.

Assuming that the dealer has cut the pack, so that only 35 cards are in play at the beginning of the hand, then the player will enjoy an increased statistical advantage over the house. They will be able to gauge much more accurately which cards are mathematically more likely to be left in the pack from deducting the cards showing on the table to what is likely to be dealt by more than 50%. And by playing multi handed, each time one of their hands plays out, the stand a much stronger chance of knowing which cards are still left in the pack. Especially if they split cards and/or double down.

The point is that counting cards allows the player clearer choices. The dealer in blackjack is an automaton. They have no freedom of choice, and have to play out their hand according to clearly set rules. The player is free to use any tactic or strategy that they see fit, either to reach a higher hand the dealer or cause them to bust. By adding the element of card counting into their online play, blackjack players provide themselves with a considerable edge for winning over the long term.

And if you ever get a pang of conscience about taking the casino’s money, always remember that all is far in love and war.
