The first thing you have to do when starting to count cards is too put a value to the cards. their are two methodes of card counting that i know of and both work although one works better than the other. The first is called high low but thats not the one i think works best. In order to do the one i like you put a value of +1 to all cards under 10, so 9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2, and 10, jacks, queens, and kings are worth -2, and in this method aces are not counted and have a value of 0. The whole point of card counting is trying to predic the up comming cards so when your count is getting high and that all a matter of opinion i think about 12 to 14 is good and thats when you start bidding higher because their is a higher chance of getting blackjack.

alright this so there are values given to cards as i have said above and for every card that lands on the table you have to count/ for example if a jack and 2 come up the total would be -1, then if a ace and a 6 came up your count would be added to the -1 so your count would equal 0/ and you just keep adding all the cards that land on the table, and you play off those numbers you get.. did that explain it all?

this method doesnt work that well in gaia cards because gaia cards is completly randomized so you will not get the counts that matter.. this one is more for anyone who plays it outside of gaia
