Practicing Card Counting

Okay, try this:

Shuffle a pack of cards well, then start dealing the cards face-up, one by one. At the same time, keep a silent note of the cards being turned over. With each 2, 4, 5, and 6, minus one to the counter in your head (the counter starts with zero). With each 10, J, Q, K, A, add one from your counter.

Do this as fast as possible, increasing your tempo until the point where you can deal at normal casino speed while keeping an accurate count. Then repeat the whole training, this time while singing to your favourite song on the radio, listening to the evening news, or with whatever distractions you can find.

If you want to beat the house at blackjack, this is the basic card-counting way.
