Card Counter Trainer
Practise a running count against a live shoe.
Keep the Hi-Lo running count as cards deal.
Low (2–6) = +1 · Middle (7–9) = 0 · High (10–A) = −1
Use ↑ / ↓ (or the buttons) to track the count. At each checkpoint the shoe pauses — your current count is locked as your answer, then pick a bet size. Correct counts build a combo multiplier; the true count decides the bet (below 1 = min, 1–3 = mid, 3+ = max).
The Hi-Lo system assigns +1 to low cards (2–6), 0 to middle cards (7–9) and −1 to high cards (10 through ace). Keep a running total as cards appear; a high positive count means the shoe is rich in tens and aces, which favours the player.
This trainer deals cards one at a time and checks each call you make. The goal is to keep an accurate count at real dealing speed without visibly counting — the skill that makes counting practical rather than just theoretical.
FAQ
- How does the Hi-Lo count work?
- Add +1 for each 2–6, subtract 1 for each 10, J, Q, K or A, and ignore 7–9. Divide the running count by the estimated decks remaining to get the true count, which is what you bet from.
- Is card counting illegal?
- No, it is not illegal to think. Casinos are private property, though, and can ask counters to leave or bar them.
- Does counting work in online blackjack?
- Generally no. Live-dealer and RNG games reshuffle frequently or every hand, which removes the deck composition edge counting relies on.
