Best Blackjack App For Counting Cards
There is no such thing as a “best” card counting system unless you are a robot, in which case you would be keeping track of each and every card. Humans, on the other hand, have limitations. For shoe dealt games, all card counting systems perform within a tenth of a percent (or so) of each other. The reason is simple - card counting is everywhere in our culture. For example, an Amazon.com search on books written about 'blackjack card counting' returns 182 titles. Even more amazing, a Google search on 'blackjack card counting' returns 363,000 results. What is Blackjack Card Counter? Blackjack Card Counter assists you in counting cards at online casinos that offer blackjack. It is best used with online casinos that offer blackjack with live dealers. And best of all, it’s absolutely FREE to use. The card counting system used in this program is based off of the Easy Red 7 Count by Arnold. Our Favorite Blackjack Training Software 1) Blackjack Apprenticeship Training Drills Our web-based drills will help you master basic strategy, card counting, true count conversion, playing deviations, and includes a full game to practice your skills.

The card counting system used in this program is based off of the Easy Red 7 Count by Arnold Snyder. The basic premise is that when there are more high cards (T,J,Q,K,A) in the shoe than there are low cards (2,3,4,5,6 and red 7), then your advantage over the casino is greater than their advantage over you. Therefore, you should increase your bets when the advantage is in your favor.
This program makes it easy for you to count cards from your computer. Please read about the Easy Red 7 Count by Arnold Snyder before playing. It is also imperative that you understand and learn the basic strategy before playing.
In Blackjack Card Counter v2.1, we’ve added an additional card counting system based on Ken Uston’s SS Count, which is a little more complicated, but provides better odds. Better yet, with registration, you can add your own card counting strategies and/or load one of our 20 preset strategies. It’s that simple.
With the assistance of this program, you can make easy money playing online blackjack from the comfort of your own computer. It’s real, it works, and this is the first program of it’s kind…give it a try for yourself!

'This is outstanding software. It is the best, most realisticcasino Blackjack practice software I have seen. Any player, regardlessof skill, will improve his game using Casino Vérité Blackjack.I highly recommend it.'
'The depth of practical analysis possible with CVCX is really impressive, and as if that weren't enough CVCX also comes with thousands of selectable pre-run sims that explore all the combinations of rules, number of decks, systems, betting ramps and target goals commonly seen. There's virtually no practical aspect of the game that CVCX cannot simulate. In my opinion, it's the most powerful software ever developed to enable players to select those games, playing systems and betting strategies that virtually assure the maximum possible winning advantage.'

'As a manager of the MIT Blackjack Team I've trained many players,and I have to say that Casino Verite has no peer when it comes to BJpractice software. If you're serious about taking your knowledge andunderstanding of blackjack to the next level, I strongly recommend theCasino Verite suite.'

'We always wrote our own simulators from scratch on the MIT BlackjackTeam in the 90's, because we found all the existing software at thattime to be severely lacking in functionality and power. That's why whenI evaluated CV and all its components, I was extremely surprised atwhat it could do. Not only did it fully match, and in some areas surpass,the power and flexibility of our custom simulators, but it made thewhole process of evaluating and comparing different games and strategiesintuitive, simple, and a downright pleasure to use. We now recommendCV to all students taking our Blackjack Science Seminars.' (Seminarsno longer available)
