High-Low Counting System Explained
The player uses the high-low counting system, where low cards (2-6) are +1, high cards (10-A) are -1, and neutral cards (7-9) are 0. This system helps track the ratio of high to low cards remaining in the deck.

Due to ATM withdrawal limits (200,000 pesos) and a limited bankroll of $60, the player had to spread bets carefully. He bet unpredictably based on his current chip stack rather than cleanly with the count to avoid detection by pit bosses.

[00:00] Hey everyone, welcome to a new card counting episode. This time I'm out of Medellin, Colombia. This video is different from anything I've posted before. It's a full session of live uncut gameplay. You're watching every hand exactly as it happened. I've also thrown in
[00:15] my running count and shoot count up in the corner, adjusted in real time exactly how I track it in my head so you can follow along. And this you delivered. I stayed in positive counts from the first hand to the last. So what you're about to watch is the session where I had
[00:28] the edge the entire way through. Getting cash together to play was a challenge. ATMs in Colombia cap out at 200,000 pesos of withdrawal so I've only lost 60 US dollars. So I had to spread my bets super carefully to protect what bankroll I had. On top of that the pit bosses were watching
[00:43] me like hawks the entire session. So instead of spreading my bets cleanly with the count I was betting unpredictably based on how many chips I'd won so far. Spreading higher as my stack grew. I was getting really bad energy off the pit the whole time and the last thing I wanted was a
[00:56] Colombian back off. For anyone new here, I count cards using the high-low counting system. Low cards add to the count, and high cards subtract from it. The more high cards left in the shoe, the better it is for the player. Though the count climbs, I raise my bets to press the
[01:09] advantage. I'll be spreading my bets from table minimum up to 1 million pesos. I started recording as soon as the count went positive, so here's the full uncut gameplay. This was an 8-deck,
[01:21] European no-hold card game with no surrender, and each white chip is worth 100,000 pesos.
