Thanks to Hollywood movies and popular media, card counting is the most misunderstood strategy in the gambling world.

The reality of this famous blackjack strategy is far less glamorous and requires intense, grueling mental discipline.

The Legality of Counting Cards

Contrary to popular belief, using your brain to track cards is absolutely not against the law in any jurisdiction.

However, while it isn't illegal, casinos are private businesses and they strongly detest advantage players.

• Using a physical device or a smartphone app to count cards is strictly illegal and will lead to arrest
• Casinos share databases of known counters, meaning getting banned at one property might get you banned everywhere
• Security teams use advanced software to analyze betting patterns to catch suspected counters

The Mechanics of the Hi-Lo Count

The most common system, the Hi-Lo, does not require photographic memory, just basic addition and subtraction.

Low cards (2-6) are good for the player when they remain in the deck, so they are assigned a +1 value.

Ultimately, a perfect card counter only has about a 1% to 1.5% mathematical advantage over the house.
