Card counting is not easy to do and takes hours of practice to do correctly. The only way to learn this winning strategy well enough to actually use it in a live casino is to read on the subject and then practice and practice. The rational for learning to count cards is rather simple, but the methods employed take practice to do right. When a deck or a shoe has a high percentage of high cards, the deck or shoe favors the players. When the opposite is true, the deck is rich in low cards and favors the dealer. The dealer will not break bad starting hands as often. Also the player will not get many Blackjacks, although they will not break hands as often or make good hands on double down hands. A player should not buy insurance when the deck or shoe is rich in low cards.

Single deck games are better than multi-deck games. Many live casinos are now offering single deck Blackjack. Also multi-deck games are much harder to learn counting and be good at it. Players lose track during a shoe when they become distracted for a few seconds. Losing track of the count defeats the entire idea of counting and could end up making a player bet on the wrong incorrect count.

There are many advantages to knowing when a shoe or deck is favorable and when it is not. Favorable situations are good wagering opportunities including increasing the bet size or taking insurance on a possible dealer Blackjack. When the opposite is true the bet size could be decreased and never buy insurance.

Favorable opportunities would be the best time to play more than one hand per deal. It could even make splitting face cards a good bet, especially when the dealer shows a break card. Rich high card count makes many otherwise stupid looking bets very profitable. When a deck or shoe is highly in favor of the player, the rules for normal play will need to be adjusted to take advantage of a situation.
