Card Counting Practice — Full Breakdown & Transcript

[00:01] video for you. We're playing three shoes of six deck blackjack today and we're going to be playing with this bet spread which calls for a $50 minimum bet for every true count below a true one. Um after that for every true count above

[00:14] black chips in two spots all the way up to a true [music] five which calls for $500 in two spots. Got $10,000 here for you which should be plenty. um put a burn card over in our discard tray with a discard tray cam set up for you in the

[00:28] appropriately. Hopefully make the right bets. So hopefully I do too. All right, otherwise you guys ready to count? Here comes round one of three. Let's count.

[14:21] And then we gave a little bit back at the end um with some I don't know just at the end, but that's [music] okay. One last hand. Anyway, let's count this up. This plus the burn cards would be the opposite of our count. See if we're

[14:35] opposite of our count. See if we're right or not. So we have D1 D2 D for down by the way are negative 1gative 1 2 3 D2 D1 D2 D1 0 D1 D2 D3

[14:51] D2 D1 D2 D1 [music] 0 1 0 1 2 1 D1 [music] 0 1 0 1 2 1 2 3 2 3 4 5 6 7 6 5 6 5 6 5 6

[15:11] 2 3 2 3 4 5 6 7 6 5 6 5 6 5 6 uh 5 4 3 2 3 2 and three. This was plus three. We need a count of minus three, which yeah, that's what I had in my head as well. Okay, I'll get these shuffled up for

[15:25] Okay, I'll get these shuffled up for round number two.

[15:37] a deck or so there. Maybe slightly less. And throw those into our shoe. Again, totally random. All mixed up. I might even cut the cards. Got a burn card. minimum bet of $50. Here comes round two. Let's count.

[20:47] Heat. Heat. Heat.

[26:54] Um, again, this plus the burn cards the opposite of our count. So, let's count up. See if we are right or not. We have D1, D2, D1, D2, D3, D2, D3, D2, D3, D4,

[27:07] D1, D2, D1, D2, D3, D2, D3, D2, D3, D4, D3, D4, D5, D4, D3, D4, D5, D6, D5, D4, D3, D4, D5, D4, D3, D4, D5, D6, D5, D4, D3, D4, D3, D2, D1, D2, D3, D2,

[27:20] D3, D4, D3, D2, D1, D2, D3, D2, D1, D2, D1, D2, D3, D4,

[27:35] So we need a count of minus two, which is yeah, right about what I had as well. So let me get this shuffled up for one more round today.

[27:51] cut off right around a deck or so. Right about there. burn card in the discard tray. Got our camera back set up for you. Uh, here

[28:05] camera back set up for you. Uh, here comes round number three. Let's count.

[29:53] Heat. Heat.

[31:24] I forgot to check for blackjack. So, um, obviously the count of minus 13 right now. So, let's just call that a push as as the dealer's fault.

[33:29] right. [music]

[36:25] Heat. Heat. Heat.

[37:58] was probably not my best dealing session ever. I'm [music] sure there might have frustrated as it was pretty negative most of the time. We got into the negative teens um a little bit there. And anyway, I

[38:11] so this should be very positive. This plus the burn card. Um but yeah, I apologize if I was going fast or [music] um maybe I might have messed up a time or two. I caught myself once or twice there. But

[38:25] frustrated. I'm sure you can [music] relate. If you can, please give me a that's going to uh help this video spread a little bit and keeps me motivated to keep making these. Otherwise, um sometimes it's just really

[38:38] frustrating when you're, you know, 3/4 the way through a six deck shoe and the to keep making the video when in all reality you would get up on the table guys' support and [music] thumbs up and things. All right, this plus the burnt

[38:52] card should be pretty positive. Let's try. We have 0 D1 D2 D1 0 1 0 D 1 0 1 2 try. We have 0 D1 D2 D1 0 1 0 D 1 0 1 2 1 2 1 2 3 2 3 2 3 4 3 4 3 4 5 4 5 6 5 6

[39:11] 1 2 1 2 3 2 3 2 3 4 3 4 3 4 5 4 5 6 5 6 7 6 7 8 7 6 7 8. Yeah. So this was plus 8 and I had us at minus 8. So those two come back together to give us zero. So very very negative shoe. Um I do think we are a

[39:28] what you're more interested in. And really this is a result of that very first shoe um where the count was very positive. So again that's kind of a testament to why card counting works. I guess is you could just see there we

[39:42] start off with in that last shoe a couple of these green um stacks about those minimum bets after minimum bets after we just kept losing and losing losing. Whereas in that first shoe we were betting more with the black chips

[39:57] and uh you know we would double up a lot of times or um get lots lots more. So less of these when we started. I think we're at the same amount of the big

[40:09] chips. It was five of each. Yeah. So that's 5,000 6 excuse me 6,000 7,000 500

[40:32] 10,000. So we are a winner today. This and this will be our profit. 1 2 3 4 500 6 7 825. 825. So we we profited $825, which really is

[40:47] not too bad in three shoes. I know a lot of you would probably take that. Um so I apologize for my frustrations there on that last shoe and any mistakes that I negative the whole time, so really I knew I wasn't making too many. It was it

[40:59] was more of me as the dealer. As a player, you're just firing out those Or even better, you get up from the table and leave as that's called wonging out. You really don't want to be playing through those negative counts if you can

[41:13] help it. All right, but with a bank roll this size, if this is what you bring to the casino, you could probably afford it. So, all right, that said, guys, um I do videos like this on my Patreon every week. I do a double deck currently. Um

[41:27] but, you know, in the future I might do some six deck series on there. So, if [music] tier gets you access. Or if you want to bump up to the medium tier, it also gives you access to how I beat slot machines, which are some of those other

[41:39] plays that you maybe heard Colin Jones talk about, or maybe Mike AP on the 10 and aces podcast, some of those other plays. What in the world? Well, you can check out my middle tier of Patreon, I get you that. Or if you just want more

[41:53] be what you're looking for. You can check out the link here. Otherwise, until next time, remember this is A1 blackjack.
