Skilled players know that except using the basic counting at blackjack, ace counting can be a rather useful thing as well. The essence of this counting method is that with the increase of a number of Aces and 10-s in the players’ pack the chance to have 21 at Blackjack increases accordingly. Of course, the dealer also can have such a chance, but players hold the advantage over the dealer as they can have winning payouts that will be calculated out of the proportion 3 by 2.

According to card statistics each 13-th card in the pack should be an Ace. Thus, by carrying out the counting of the number of coming out cards and paying attention to the fact that more than 13 cards have not included any Aces, you make a conclusion that the pack is full of Aces. And if it is so, there is sense of increasing your bet.

The example: Suppose, your minimal stake is $5. At any stage of the game the count is + 3 and the pack, to your mind, is also full of Aces, then the bet, determined by the current count, shall amount to $30 + $5 (according to the Ace counting) = $35.

In such a manner you can change your bet and when the pack lacks Aces (among 13 cards there have been only two Aces), there is sense of betting one position less, than this is determined by the current score. When the pack has a lot of Aces i.e. among 26 cards that have come out, there are no Aces at all, you should double your bet.

As Ace counting leads to the necessity of keeping in your memory two numbers: the result of the current count and the number of Aces in the pack that have come out, it is recommended to use alphabet factors i.e. letters as A, B, C, D for each Ace that comes out of the pack. According to this system your total count can be, for instance, +2C.
