Title: Card Counting Question
Post by: Mr J on July 18, 2009, 03:07:46 PM
  I've had this on my mind for a while so I thought I would bring it up. Lets say you know that high value cards will be coming up soon. Its you at the table along with 4 other players and OF COURSE, the dealer. You have a 5 and a 6 and the dealers up card is a 6. So what? We have 6 people total playing. Who is to say that *YOU* will get a high card? Fine, there are more still left but no more of a chance that you will get it. Am I wrong on this? I do understand the point of high and low cards but how is it that *YOU* will get what you need? Ken ((NOTE: I'm at the stupid library cause my computer is at Best Buy being fixed so I really cant answer anything right away))

Card counting can only really give you between a 1% - 3% edge over the dealer. The movies make it seem like an easy task to beat the casinos.

Ok, good answers (thanks) but as far as my question goes......is there any "rule" that says *I* will get the high card as opposed to the other 5 people?  Ken

Hello Mr J,

There is no rule saying who should get the high card.
