Online Blackjack – Can You Count These Cards?
By Sonny White | August 21, 2010
Counting cards is a real skill that can be used to gain an advantage over the house during a blackjack game. But can this skill be used online? Not really. In a regular game of blackjack you count the cards until the count is in your favour. That means that the shoe has more big cards left in it than small ones. When this occurs you raise your bet because your chances of winning have improved. Knowing what’s left in the deck is what’s key to this procedure.
In an online game of blackjack you can’t achieve this. In a land-based casino the dealer plays out the shoe of cards; in online casino blackjack games the shoe is shuffled after every deal. You never know what is left in the deck because it’s new every hand. Only electronic technology can deal the cards fast enough to employ this safeguard.
