I've heard that counting cards can make me a better blackjack player.  Could you teach me how to do that?

Sure. Counting cards can indeed give you an advantage at blackjack if you know how to do it correctly. The basic principle is to keep track of the high cards left in the deck in order to determine what card has yet to be dealt. You can start by keeping track of the value of the cards that have been played and add one to the value each time a ten or a face card is dealt. This gives you the approximate number of cards of each value left in the shoe. This knowledge can then be used to make smart decisions about when to hit or stand. For example, if you know that the majority of the cards left in the shoe are high cards, it might be beneficial for you to stick with your hand to try and get a good result.
