Hi-Opt (highly optimum) counting system

[claymore]

Hi-Opt I card counting strategy also sometimes known as the Einstein counting strategy is one of the more advanced counting systems used by players today. It’s very similar to other card counting strategies such as the Hi/Lo counting strategy although this one is more accurate. Not everyone has the ability to focus enough to count cards, but a lot of us do and should use this to our advantage. It’s all about making money when at the casino so I don’t see why anyone wouldn’t at least test this system to see if it increases there profits per session.

Blackjack is a game of numbers, odds and mathematics and once you can figure out those things then you’ll be able to make the house advantage practically disappear which is always a good thing. If you’re serious about playing blackjack to make money then you’re going to need to execute one of the card counting strategies, and this one is the easiest to learn and one of the most accurate systems. Quite a few people use the blackjack hi-opt 1 card counting strategy at the tables already so you won’t be the first one adopting this system, and it’s already been proven to work.

When you’re dealing with this system you need to learn the value which has been assigned to each card in the deck so that you can keep your running count. If you forget the values of a certain card then it could ruin your count for that deck and you would lose any potential advantage. Learn the table below and make sure you have it fresh in your memory when you go to the casino.

Hi Opt 1 Card Values

* Two/Seven/Eight/Nine/Ace = 0


* Three/Four/Five/Six = +1


* Ten/Jack/Queen/King = -1

As long as you can remember which value each card has than keeping a count with this system is not too complicated pending you can pay attention to every hand being dealt. For anyone serious about making money playing blackjack this shouldn’t be a problem, but those of you playing for entertainment might not want to even bother with this advanced card counting system.

Obviously the higher count you have, the better the remaining deck is going to be so you should be basing your bets based on your count. If you think you’re about to hit a monster hand then bet more then usual, just don’t do this every time you think you’re going to get a good hand. If you continually only increase your bets when you have a high count then the dealer might catch on to what you’re doing. One thing to avoid detection is to talk with the dealer and have a good time while focusing on counting cards. Also tip the dealer when winning because it could save you from the dealer questioning you about counting cards.

You should use card counting strategies at your own risk and always be careful about what you’re doing and never get greedy. You still won’t win everything either, but you can make the big bets at the right time which could lead to a great session.

Hi-Opt II card counting strategy is generally only used by players who are very focused on what’s going on in the game because the strategy is quite difficult to execute while playing. So if you’re not an experienced and very well focused blackjack player then you’re not going to need to learn this strategy because it’s difficult. Though the advantage that you’ll gain over the house using this strategy is also minimal which is why it’s a fairly rarely used counting strategy.

But if you think you have what it takes to learn and execute the blackjack Hi-Opt II card counting strategy then continue reading so you can learn the rules. Remember unless you’re playing quite a bit of blackjack and have the patience to keep a tough card count don’t even bother learning this because it won’t be worth the hassles you encounter.

The first and one of the most important things you need to know about this counting strategy is that it doesn’t just use the “0” and “1” value it also uses a “2” value which is why it’s more difficult to learn and execute at the blackjack tables. This counting strategy is a balanced strategy and the count when done correctly will equal 0 once the deck is gone. The reason this counting strategy uses the “2” value is because it makes the entire count more accurate for the player.

Hi-Opt II Card Values

* Ace = 0


* Two and Three = +1


* Four and Five = +2


* Six and Seven = +1


* Eight and Nine = 0


* Ten/Jack/Queen/King = -2

The above is the values issued to each of the cards in the deck so all you need to do is make sure you keep a running count of the deck. You can practice at home with a deck of cards so you can see how you do, and then try it out when you feel comfortable counting at the casino. Remember that casinos don’t like people going into there casino and counting cards, they see it as a scam and won’t take kindly to it. You should make sure that you don’t get caught counting cards and this means you should mix things up. You don’t need to count every round, you should converse with the dealer and other players and you should never make it look like you’re adding or counting numbers.

If you can’t pay constant attention to the table then you might want to try a simpler counting strategy that isn’t as complex as this one. If you miss one card then your entire count is messed up so it’s important it you do decide to adopt this counting strategy that you do it right. You can turn a fairly large house advantage into a great situation for yourself by counting cards, just don’t get greedy and never tell anyone what you’re doing while at the casino although this should never come to mind for most people.

Now go out there and have some fun!

Is this the same system they used in the movie 21? that was a really interesting movie!

[SuperMan]

you need a very complex system in order to count effectively in blackjack. in most cases counting is not possible because of the number of combinations and odds involved.
