In fact, it is widely believed that card counting does not work in online casinos.<\/p>\n<p>You may be surprised to find out that card counting is actually possible in online casinos.<\/p>\n<p>The real question, however, is:<\/p>\n<h2>Is card counting profitable in online casinos?<\/h2>\n<p>I will cover the stigma against online card counting and why it is feasible in certain cases. Finally, I will discuss whether the profits make it worthwhile to be an internet card counter.<\/p>\n<h3>What are the basics of card counting?<\/h3>\n<p>The essence of card counting is to determine when you have a greater chance of making a natural <a href=\"https:\/\/www.black-jack-21.com\/pl\/\" alt=\"Blackjack\" title=\"Blackjack | Black-Jack-21.com\">Blackjack<\/a> to get. Assuming you are playing at a table with favorite rules, you will receive a 3:2 payout on your original <a href=\"https:\/\/www.black-jack-21.com\/pl\/einsatz\/\" alt=\"Einsatz\" title=\"Stake | Black-Jack-21.com\">Insert<\/a> (some tables only offer 6:5).<\/p>\n<p>Ace of Spades, Ace of Hearts, Ace of ClubsYour chances of a natural blackjack increase greatly if the shoe has a greater proportion of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.black-jack-21.com\/pl\/asse\/\" alt=\"Assen\" title=\"Assen | Black-Jack-21.com\">Assen<\/a> and 10s compared to other card values. Theoretically, you win more if you increase your stake at this point.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you won't inherently know when these situations are present. But card counting gives you a tool to figure out when the shoe is rich with aces and 10s.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing you need to count cards is a system. There are many different counting systems, and they differ in accuracy and complexity.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.black-jack-21.com\/pl\/hi-lo-count\/\" alt=\"Hi-Lo\" title=\"Hi-Lo | Black-Jack-21.com\">Hi-Lo<\/a> offers a happy medium between accuracy and user-friendliness. The funny thing about Hi-Lo is that you assign values to each card that comes out. Here are the point values for each type of card:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.black-jack-21.com\/pl\/ass\/\" alt=\"Asse\" title=\"Aces | Black-Jack-21.com\">Aces<\/a>, picture cards and 10s (high <a href=\"https:\/\/www.black-jack-21.com\/pl\/black-jack-karten\/\" alt=\"Karten\" title=\"Cards | Black-Jack-21.com\">Cards<\/a>) = -1<\/li>\n<li>7, 8 and 9 = 0 (neutral)<\/li>\n<li>2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 (low cards) = +1<\/li>\n<li>You want to have fewer low cards in the shoe, which is why your positive value increases when they come out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With the Hi-Lo you must also take into account with a \"True Count\" how many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.black-jack-21.com\/pl\/decks\/\" alt=\"Decks\" title=\"Decks | Black-Jack-21.com\">Decks<\/a> are left in the shoe. You do this by dividing your \"Running Count\" by the estimated number of decks remaining.<\/p>\n<p>Here's an example:<\/p>\n<p>Your running count is +6.<br \/>\nThey estimate there are two decks left.<br \/>\n6 \/ 2 = +3 true count<\/p>\n<p>You can increase your bet size as the positive True Count grows.<\/p>\n<p>Blackjack author Don Slesinger suggests in his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.black-jack-21.com\/pl\/black-jack-buecher\/\" alt=\"Buch\" title=\"Book | Black-Jack-21.com\">Book<\/a> \u201eBlackjack Attack\u201c proposes the following betting strategy:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>ideally do not play at all with a negative count<\/li>\n<li>Standard insert with a count of 0 or +1.<\/li>\n<li>Increase to 2 units for a counter reading of +2.<\/li>\n<li>Increase to 4 units on a count of +3.<\/li>\n<li>Two hands of 3 units each from a count of +4.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Why online card counting is usually not profitable!<\/h3>\n<p>Another aspect of card counting in blackjack that I haven't discussed yet is deck penetration. This term refers to how many decks a casino deals before the shoe is reshuffled.<\/p>\n<p>Here's an example:<\/p>\n<p>You play at a table with an eight-deck shoe.<br \/>\nFive of the eight decks have already been dealt.<br \/>\n5 \/ 8 = 62.5 % Cover penetration<\/p>\n<p>You want higher deck penetration because then you can make bigger bets with more confidence. A +2 or +3 true count is much more accurate with only one deck left, as opposed to five or six.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Generally, a deck penetration of 75 % is considered ideal for placing large bets with a positive true count.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Of course, many casinos mix before this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.black-jack-21.com\/pl\/black-jack-punkte\/\" alt=\"Punkt\" title=\"Point | Black-Jack-21.com\">Point<\/a> the cards again to thwart card counters.<\/p>\n<p>Other casinos allow more cards because they don't want to slow the game down with constant shuffling. They feel that losing hands are more expensive than just giving a few counters a bigger advantage.<\/p>\n<p>Online casinos don't have to worry about losing hands when they reshuffle the decks. Their software-based (a.k.a. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.black-jack-21.com\/pl\/virtual-blackjack\/\" alt=\"virtuellen\" title=\"virtual | Black-Jack-21.com\">virtual<\/a>) Tables can automatically reshuffle a shoe without losing time.<\/p>\n<p>Online gambling providers program their blackjack games in such a way that they very rarely need to reshuffle the decks. You have absolutely no chance of gaining an advantage in these cases.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you could marginally improve your odds if a casino allowed a penetration of, say, 25%. But that amount is not enough to count for sure and change the odds in your favor.<\/p>\n<p>The low deck penetration in online blackjack games is the reason why card counting in virtual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.black-jack-21.com\/pl\/tisch\/\" alt=\"Tischen\" title=\"Tables | Black-Jack-21.com\">Tables<\/a> does not work.<\/p>\n<h3>Some live dealer casinos allow a higher deck penetration<\/h3>\n<p>Many online casinos offer live dealer blackjack, which uses a human dealer and real cards. These tables work just like in a normal land-based casino, except that the action is streamed through your internet device.<\/p>\n<p>Assuming the conditions were perfect, then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.black-jack-21.com\/pl\/black-jack-live-casino\/\" alt=\"Live-Blackjack\" title=\"Live-Blackjack | Black-Jack-21.com\">Live Blackjack<\/a> the best way to count cards. After all, you could sit at home and count without attracting the suspicion of pit bosses and floor supervisors.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, online casinos aren't stupid. They know that their live tables are vulnerable to being hit by<\/p>\n<p>Live blackjack variants also offer live chat, which allows you to chat with the dealer and other players at the table while playing blackjack in real time.<\/p>\n<p>Live blackjack gameplay is similar to traditional online blackjack; the only difference is that the dealer and some of the game's props are real and in real time.<\/p>\n<p>You will find several live blackjack variants available at online casinos.
