If at anytime you loose any of these hands, go back to your original 5 unit bet. Flat bet the 5 unit bet until you score a win. Any win whether it be on a split hand, blackjack or a double down bet. Make sure you do not deviate from this betting system at anytime and be sure to take every advantage to split and double down. Try this out on several free play sites and see if it works for you. You should have a bankroll of at least $500.00. Start out at a $10.00 min. bet table Unless you are very experienced at higher tables and have a much larger bank roll. Don't be discouraged if you get in a bad run and get down. We all know how that can go. You will win money back fast as you will see in your practice playing. Best of luck to you.

    Even though the dealer and player still have the same chance of getting the same cards, you still have the advantage (in high counts) because you get paid 3:2 on BJ, you can double down, split pairs, and surrender (if offered).

    When all that's left is faces it doesn't matter how many times you split your 20 you'll still push. And we all know if playing an even game you might as well bet 0. Ergo card counting doesn't work.

    Someone stop me before I have too much fun.

    How many times have you been backed off using this system? That's right the casinos don't care right? Losing system. The math doesn't lie and card counters are not welcome at the tables for a reason. The casino understands this, how can't you?

    To me, counting and all the other dimensions that you add on top, is what makes this activity rewarding, and yes, relaxing. Not that I feel like I just had a massage or anything or a good roll. More like it requires a total immersion of one's self, and that makes me separate from my normal full time job and the attendant stresses. I'm sure it would be different if I became dependent on the income, like anything you do for recreation that you turn into a job.
