Counting cards is an effective way to help improve your chances of winning at blackjack, but it's not a sure thing. To counting cards successfully, start by understanding what card counters do and don't do. Card counters track the frequency of certain cards coming up in order to gauge when it may be beneficial for them to make moves such as doubling down or splitting pairs. These counts can give a good indication as to when it might be time to stay or press your luck. In terms of strategy, card counters may have more advantages against dealers and thus could increase their odds of winning – just don’t count on being successful every time you play!

There are a number of methods for counting cards in blackjack. The most common method is to assign a point value to each card,  with an Ace counting as 1 or 11, depending on your hand’s needs. Start by keeping track of the sum total of all the cards in your hand - when this number is closer to 21 than the dealer’s it's time to start playing more aggressively, as you will know when you have a better chance at winning. Be careful not to count too loudly – make sure to only let your teammates know when it's time for them to raise their bets!
