John: Counting Cards

[John]

I can count cards on a single deck but what if I want to step it up and play in a casino, what book can help me count cards for multiple decks?
Also, what is the highest amount of decks people can count cards off of? One more thing, does shuffling after every other hand help the casino?
Thanks
-John

There are any number of books that will teach you how to count and play single or multiple decks depending on what system you choose to learn. Some are available at this site for sale.Ko Blackjack (Vancura-Fuchs), Professional Blackjack (Wong)to name a few. You can learn to count any number of decks, while generally fewer decks are better for the player. If the dealer is shuffling after every hand, there isnt much point in counting and keeping track of the remaining cards.
