Today I would like to offer my services as a card counting coach. Blackjack is the world's most popular card game, and it is surprisingly easy to beat. Every card in a blackjack shoe has an effect of removal (EOR) and as more low cards are dealt, leaving more high cards in the shoe, the odds improve for the player. Conversely, if an excess of high cards are dealt in a shoe the odds improve for the house. By using a simple hi-lo counting system you can accurately gauge your advantage and wager accordingly. Card counting blackjack is a fun and easy way to make a few extra dollars in your spare time and can even make for a lucrative full-time career. Unfortunately, many people try to count cards and fail because they do not properly train. As your card counting coach I will ensure that your training is undertaken in the right way, so that when you do finally get to the tables you know exactly what you are doing.

In order to become a winning blackjack player, you must develop the following skills.

Perfect memorization of basic strategy.
The ability to count cards.
Knowledge of the top 20 deviations from basic strategy.
Deck estimation.
Being able to convert from the running count to the true count.
Scientific betting.

As your coach, I will be happy to guide you at every step of the way through your path to becoming a winning blackjack player. The estimated total cost of your training is $60 (four hours of my time).

So what are you waiting for? Contact me and order your lessons on how to become a professional blackjack player today.

LOL. We are not 1990s anymore.

These days every serious casino have electronic shuffles and is returning the cards in it after EVERY played hand. Even if they don't, you will be blacklisted veryyy soon.

Even if you do get blacklisted at one casino, there are over a thousand in the world, so it's no big deal. Continuous shuffle machines do stop card counting of course, but they're not that common in most parts of the world and shoe games aren't going anywhere.

At this modern days, you cant use card counting anymore except if you are playing outside of a casino where you are playing with friends or kumpadres..definitely you can use that, but in casino its not applicable anymore as even there is no electric shuffling, casinos are using two deck or three deck cards then after some hands, they are completely changing the deck again.

If you can't afford fifteen dollars an hour for coaching you probably wouldn't be able to come up with the bankroll to make money counting cards anyway. That is one downside to this system, you do need a bankroll of at least ten thousand dollars to begin to earn an appreciable hourly rate at the tables.

It's more a question if I WANT TO AFFORD that,than if I CAN.
Having said that,if you are able to count cards and you have the money to play,why do you need 15$/h ?? Do it for from the good nature of your heart for free,since you should be a millionaire by now...am i wrong?

Yes you are wrong. People think that just because you are a card counter you should instantly win millions. That is not how it works. Your edge against the casino is slight and you will lose almost as often as you win. Card counting isn't free money or a get rich scheme, but it is a viable strategy to win at gambling and can be a lucrative opportunity if you know what you are doing.

I don't really coach for the money. Personally, I love teaching people how to win at gambling, so I only charge the minimum to compensate me for the time I invest in training others and to weed out people who aren't serious about learning how to play with an advantage.
