For more advanced players, there are many types of Blackjack side countsincluding: Ace side count for betting, Ace side count for playing,Insurance side count, Betting side count, Multi-parameter side count andside bet side counts. You can configure multiple side counts at once.You can also use Counting by Inference tables at the same time. (Fora list of casino card counting strategies see BlackjackCard Counting) The following describes each method:

Ace SideCount for Betting Purposes

This method is only valid with Ace neutral strategies (e.g. Hi-Opt I,Hi-Opt II, Omega II, Uston APC, DHM, Expert and Revere Advanced Plus-Minus.)If you are using any of these systems, the true count is quite accuratefor strategy purposes, but less accurate for betting purposes. To correctthis use the following procedure:

  • Calculate the number of excess Aces (may be negative) in the remainingcards
  • Multiply the number of excess Aces by the absolute value of the pointcount value assigned by the current strategy to Ten-value cards (usuallyone or two)
  • Temporarily add the result to the running count
  • Recalculate the true count for betting purposes only

Ace Side Countfor Playing Purposes

This method is only valid with Ace-reckoned strategies (e.g. High-Low,Halves, Red Seven, Zen Count, and Revere Point Count.) Note: using anAce SC for one of these strategies requires a different set of strategytables. Few people use this technique these days. If you are using anyof these systems, the true count is quite accurate for betting purposes,but less accurate for playing purposes. To correct this, use the followingprocedure:

Ace Five Count Blackjack Games

  • Calculate the number of excess Aces (may be negative) in the remainingcards
  • Multiply the number of excess Aces by the absolute value of the pointcount value assigned by the current strategy to Ten-value cards (normallyone or two)
  • Temporarily subtract the result from the running count
  • Recalculate the true count for strategy decision purposes only
  • If this is an Insurance decision, temporarily subtract doublethe result from the running count
  • Recalculate the true count for Insurance purposes only

Ten Side Countfor Insurance Purposes

A perfect side count for Insurance purposes would count Tens as -9 andall other cards as +4. But, I know of no one that uses this. A simpler methodis to use an unbalanced count found in the 1981 version ofWong's Professional Blackjack. Here, Tens are counted as -2 andall other cards as +1. Insure if the count is greater than four timesthe number of decks. The Ten count can also be used for the Bust Out betif you can find that rule anywhere.

Betting SideCounts

For greater efficiency, some people use different count values for playingdecisions and betting. This is not common. With CVBJ or CVData, a tableis used to set the side counts needed to change the playing count to thebetting count. For example, if you use Hi-Opt I for playing and Hi-Lofor betting, set Ace's to -1 and Two's to +1. This is the difference betweenthe two strategies. To use this technique, you must keep your primarycount and this separate count. For betting purposes, temporarily add thetwo counts running counts together and calculate the true count.

Multi-ParameterSide Counts

Ace Five Count Blackjack Rules

MP tables are normally used to improve playing efficiency by includingthe effect of the cards counted as zero. For example, in Hi-Opt II, 8,9 and Ace are counted as zero. The following occurs:

  • Calculate the number of excess eights (may be negative) in the remainingcards
  • Multiply this number by the index value in the multi-parameter tablefor the current hand.
  • Temporarily subtract this from the running count
  • Recalculate the true count according to the current strategy's instructionsfor playing purposes only.

Example: Suppose you have 9 vs. 2. The deck has two excess eights. TheHi-Opt II MP index for 9v2 with a side count of eights is 2. Multiplythat 2 by the 2 excess eights. You now temporarily reduce your RC by 4making it less likely that you will double. This makes sense since theexcess eights make it easier for the dealer to get a 20. This would havebeen missed by the normal Hi-Opt II count since it ignores eights.
