How is card counting done?
The card counting system described below is an unbalanced 10 count that is 100% accurate for determining when to take insurance. As a general purpose card counting system, it is relatively weak and not particularly recommended, but it illustrates many of the principles behind card counting. This is intended only to give a feel for how card counting is done, and is not recommended for actual practice, although I’ve used it because of its simplicity. This counting strategy is listed as “Unbalanced 10 Count” in other parts of the FAQ list.
