Players use card counting techniques to analyze information before shuffling in blackjack and find betting opportunities. In the long run, card counters have an advantage over the dealer ranging from 0.5% to 1.5%, but the short-term advantage is not very significant. To be successful at card counting, one must count cards quickly and memorize a strategy table.

One common card counting method assigns a value of +1 to cards 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, while assigning a value of -1 to 10, J, Q, K, and A. Cards 7, 8, and 9 are considered neutral with a value of 0. With each card dealt, the player mentally adds or subtracts the card's value. If the card count becomes positive, indicating that there are more small cards dealt, the chances of larger cards appearing increase. In this case, it's advantageous for the player, and they should place larger bets. When the player assesses that their chances of winning have significantly increased, they should increase their bet. Conversely, if the player perceives a lower chance of winning, they should decrease their bet. This strategy allows players to win more when they win and lose less when they lose, providing an advantage over the dealer in the long run.

Although 10, J, Q, K, and A are all assigned a value of -1, it's important to keep a separate count for A, as the presence of many unseen Aces increases the chances of getting a blackjack (21 points), and players should increase their bets accordingly. When a player holds an Ace, they are more likely to draw a 10-point card to reach 21.
