I'm going to Vegas and need to count cards at Blackjack
<|assistant|>
Counting cards is a strategy used to help casino players make informed decisions when playing blackjack. The technique involves keeping track of the cards that have already been played and using that information to determine when it is best to raise or lower your stake.  To use this strategy you need to keep a mental or actual track of the cards played throughout the game to keep a tally of the ratio of high cards (10s, Js, Cs, Ds, and Ss) versus low cards (2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 6s, 7s and 11s). After determining whether the ratio of high to low cards is in favor of the player, you’ll want to double or split your stakes if the ratio is off or adjust them based on how close you are to completion of the decks of cards that have been shuffled.  Additionally, the more experience you have at card counting and recognizing blackjack signals the better you can gauge when to increase or decrease your bet.  Overall, the skill and practice of card counting provides the advantage to turn a basic game of blackjack into a method of making consistent profits in the casino.
