So you'll be more comfortable (more likely to win) when you're standing on 12-16 against 2-6Įdit: two more things to mention: insurance and surrender (if available).
IT DOES however make the dealer bust more, when showing a stiff card. You're more likely to get a 19 and 20 when splitting 9s (instead of 13 and 14)Ĭontrary to popular belief, high count DOES NOT make the dealer bust more, as the dealer will make his hand with two cards more often. Your splits also, generally, become more valuable. When you're doubling an 11 against a 10 or a 9 against a 3, you're more likely to catch a 10 instead of a 5, making your hand better. So does the dealer, but you lose 1 bet when the dealer gets it and you gain 1.5 bets when you get it (if you're playing proper 3 to 2 blackjack). 'High count', whether in the Hi-Lo system or any other card counting system is beneficial to the player for a few reasons.ġst and most obvious, you get more blackjacks.
