Counting cards can absolutely help you become a better blackjack player. There are several methods of counting cards, but the most common are known as basic or intermediate card counting.  To begin with basic card counting, keep track of the totals of each denomination of card as they are dealt. As more high-value cards are removed from the deck, you should adjust your bet to maximize your gain.  With intermediate card counting, more advanced math is used to track the deck’s true probability of containing a certain value. This method can provide a slightly bigger gain than basic card counting but requires more precision and expertise.
