Learn Card Counting

From the rules of the game through advanced advantage play, backed by billions of simulated hands.

Card values, hand types, dealer rules, and how every rule variation affects the game.

The mathematically optimal play for every hand. See exactly why each decision is correct with simulation EV data.

The Hi-Lo system, running count, true count, and why counting shifts the edge. Includes true count distribution data.

When and why the count changes optimal play. Explore EV vs True Count curves for every hand in the game.

The probability of losing your entire bankroll, and how edge, variance, and bankroll size affect it.

How every rule — decks, dealer soft 17, doubling, surrender — shifts the house edge and changes optimal play.

Quantify how each rule variation affects your edge. Compare all 960 simulated rulesets side by side.

When does the insurance side bet become profitable? EV curves show the exact true count threshold.

How the simulation engine works, what the data represents, and why Monte Carlo simulation reveals things analytics can miss.
