• Running Count - the total count of all of the
  cards that have been exposed
• True Count - The running count divided by the
  number of decks in play
• High Count = GOOD
      - The higher the count, the less low
cards are in the deck
• Low Count = BAD
     - The lower the count, the more low
cards are in the deck
Using the rules to your advantage
• The dealer has certain rules to abide by
  while playing his/her hand
For example.
Dealer Hand                      Your Hand
