    What I would recommend is start practicing by estimating entire decks. Once you get comfortable with this start estimating to the nearest 1/2 deck (1 deck played, 1.5, 2, 2.5, etc) Progressively getting up to the point where you are judging based on .25 decks.

    If you want 100% perfection most casinos will sell previously used cards so buy cards from casinos you plan to play in and use them for your deck estimation training. Number each card and try to cut as close to a specific number as possible. (6 decks numbered 1 - 312) cut to as close to #52 (one deck) etc etc

    Thank you Saul for your comments. I already do what you are suggesting. That is probably the only thing that I can do without moving on to an unbalanced system.
