You use it to make deviation decisions, but more importantly, you use the information to bet when YOU have the advantage. Bet strategies are an essential part of beating the game, but it’s not as simple as everything else, so we don’t have any videos that really spell out how to bet. We recommend either bankroll coaching or visiting a bootcamp to make sure you have a winning bet strategy. I don’t mean to push our products, but the betting is the most complicated part of being a successful card counter.
Sebastian- If there already cards in the discard tray, those are cards you don’t know. Which is the same thing as cards you don’t know behind the cut card. So you are basically increasing the penetration of the deck – which is BAD. Just wait for a new shoe or find a new shoe. You always want to start your count from the beginning.

What is a running count because I couldn’t find that in the video and the next one is explaining how to find the true count.
The running count is the count that you’re keeping from round to round. To see how to get the running count, watch this video: http://www.blackjackapprenticeship.com/2000/09/10/count-cards-using-hi-lo/
But to make all betting and deviation decisions, you need to convert from the running count to the true count.
now i now how to get the count, and i no how to get the true count for bets but what do i do with the count? is it used to hit or stay….

What if you are at the casino and sit in a table that has alrready half of the shoe of cards been played. How do I start counting cards from there?
PS: Sorry if my english isn´t clear enough. I hope you understand the question.
