	Blackjack: Card Counting (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		By keeping track of the cards played, a player can take advantage of these situations by betting larger amounts when the deck is in his favor and smaller amounts when it is not.
		Normally, low-value cards, such as a 2 or 3, are given a positive value, and 10s are given a negative value.
		Counting schemes that assign point values of —1, 0, or +1 are called level one counts and are considered the easiest to perform.

	Blackjack: Winning Systems - Card Counting
		Card counting does not allow a player to magically know what the next card will be that is dealt out the deck or shoe.
		As the cards are dealt, the card counting player keeps a mental running count of the cards exposed which allows him to make wagering decisions based on the current count total.
		The higher the plus count, which means the higher number of ten-point cards and aces remaining to be dealt, means that the advantage is to player and he should increase his wager.

		The higher the plus count, IE: the higher percentage of ten-point cards and aces remaining to be dealt, means that the advantage is to player and he/she should increase their wager.

		Most commonly they are counted in groups of three cards; in some games the cards are counted in groups of two or four; and in some they are in fact counted in groups of one (individually).

		The "banker" and the "player" are each dealt a hand of two cards; the value of each hand is determined by adding the two cards' value aces count for 1, tens and face cards for 0 -- and taking the last digit of the sum.
