Hi this is Daniel on behalf of Expert Village. In this clip we are going to discuss the hi-low
card counting system. We will over view the basic principals and how it works. To start
out the hi-low card counting system is a system is which each card is assigned a value of
either negative one, zero or plus one. The player in turn keeps a running total of the
cards as they are dealt. This gives them a idea of the probability of a high value card
of 10 value cards being dealt. This allow the player to know if the deck is in there
favor or in the casino's favor. Let's take a quick view at what the hi-low card counting
system consisted of. The hi-low card counting system is based upon a signing point value
of plus one, zero or minus one to every card dealt all players on the table, including
the dealer. Each card is assigned there own specific point value. Aces and 10 point cards
are assigned the value of negative one. Cards 7, 8 and 9, each counts as zero. In cards
2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, each counts as a plus one. As the cards are dealt the player mentally
keeps a running count of the cards exposed and makes wagering decisions base upon the
current total. The higher the plus count, the higher percentage of 10 point cards and
aces remaining to be dealt. If the running count is zero, the deck or shoe is neutral
and neither the player nor the dealer has the advantage.
