A Easy To Learn Card Counting Technique

Submitted by Club38 on February 26, 2007 - 2:24pm.

For those of you out there who may be interested in learning to count a deck of cards I have decided to publish my personal technique. I taught this to myself when I was a teenager and personally find it to be fairly easy. Don't get me wrong, counting cards is not simple, but it is all mental. So if you can use your mind and imagination it will come much easier.
First of all, I imagine a board in front of me that I list from top to bottom in two collumns the card values. For example, in collumn 1.) 2 collumn 2.) J
3 Q
4 K
5 A
6
7
8
9
10
Then as cards are played I can tally how many times each card has been played. Trust me it works. For practice just take a deck of cards and flip over cards one by one at a comfortable pace while trying to keep count in your mind on your imaginary board, or whatever else may work for you. With practice you should be able to increase your speed. If this is still dificult to learn you could try counting only the face cards or only the numbered cards. Then later on counting both together. I hope this works for you.
Peace, digitaleyez
