Why use the true count / true count / actual count

Learn card counting is not enough, then we must adjust this count the number of cards remaining in the shoe. The principle of counting cards is to follow if there is more or less high cards (known as “logs”) in the hoof: the percentage of logs will be higher with a countdown to 10 when there is two sets of cards to play only when it is five to play.

Computing the real (true count / TC) is simple

Assess the number of remaining games remaining in the shoe. Simply divide the account by the cumulative number of decks remaining to play.

So if your count is 10 and that there are two sets of cards (52 cards per game) in the shoe, the actual count is 10 / 2 = 5.

If there is 5 games, the actual count is 10 / 5 = 2.

How to assess the number of games remaining?

To estimate the number of remaining cards in the deck, you can either assess the eye, or counting cards used in games Based on the number of rounds played. If there are 6 players and each plays about 3 cards per hand, is the third of a deck of cards. 2 more towers and a complete set has been used. This method requires a bit more calculation, but sometimes the casinos succeed in many “hidden” card games remaining.
