Once you’re comfortable with the situation chart in blackjack, and perhaps once you’ve tried out a few betting systems that either did or didn’t work for you, the next step in giving yourself as much of an advantage as possible in this game is card counting.

In case you’re familiar with the term, but not the actual real-world details associated with it, allow me to quickly summarize. Card counting in blackjack is a way of remembering or keeping track of every card that crosses the table, thus giving you the ability to ascertain which cards are still out there that may come up in future hands. It’s all addition, subtraction and having a good memory.

To answer your obvious first question as to whether it’s actually legal – yes, it is, technically. Or more specifically, there’s no law against it. However, since casinos are all private establishments, they can kick you out for picking your nose one too many times, not to mention if they think you’re cheating them with a card-counting system. You’ll probably get a friendly but stern pat on the back the first time it happens, but after that, as DeNiro said, “You can either have the hammer and the money or you can walk out of here.” Great movie.

Anyway, to clarify, it’s not illegal to count cards using only your own head on golden casino. Any other type of machines or tactics probably cross the line between getting tossed out on your butt or getting tossed out on your butt into a jail cell.

OK, so you’re going to give it a try…now where do you start? There are multiple systems out there, and here’s one that’s better suited for beginners. It’s not as dead-on accurate as other systems, but what you give up here you gain back in ease of use, which goes a long way for someone trying to focus not only on his chips and the strategy of the game, but a booming, noisy casino such as The Wynn in Las Vegas, and the expected jitters stemming from attempting something you might not feel is completely ethical. That, obviously, is an entirely different article.

Here, quickly, is the gist of what’s called the online blackjack KO system. A normal system assigns a point value to each card, and you add or subtract each value as that card comes up on the table. When the count gets to a certain number, you have a deck with a higher probability of spitting out face cards and winning hands to the player. In a usual counting system, if you go through the entire deck, you end up at zero. In the KO, a 7 is added to the mix. This makes it easier for the player to keep track of the count.
