    If by “strategy guide” you mean “basic strategy”, then I would suggest you learn “strategy guide”.

    You obviously aren’t smart enough to learn a card counting system like the Hi Lo counting system. People who are smart enough to count cards are usually smart enough to formulate coherent sentences.

    Hopefully, you’re smart enough to decipher the symbols that they print on those blackjack basic strategy cards.

    Never heard of strategy guide…
    Hi lo is one of the most basic card counting systems yet is still pretty effective. But be warned you will hit some of negative fluctuations. Card counting can be very dangerous and if you dont have the bank roll you will be out in no time. if you are just a casual player stick to BS because you need a lot of practice to be able to card count. Today, card counting is getting harder and harder to do due to declining playing conditions(CSM,poor pen.,poor rules, and little to no single and double deck game). PM me if you have any further questions

  • Ace:

    Card counting looks easy when you watch them doing in movies (like in the movie 21). But you need to be pretty smart , both in terms of how active your mind is and how much do you reveal from your body language.
    Card counting is a lengthy and complicated process as you’re constantly gathering and processing information about the cards. And also please see that you must have the knowledge “Strategy guide” in order to learn card counting.
