Hey everybody,

I was hoping for some input on ways to improve my card counting practice site. Functionality, design, or any input at all is appreciated -

After getting my feet wet with counting cards I wanted to be able to easily test myself to make sure I was counting correctly and also quickly. There was one or two good apps I found for Android but never away websites. I figured while creating a webapp to test myself I could also release it for the general public to use as well.

Anyways if you have any ideas for improvements please let me know.

Have a great weekend!

I would put the instructions on how to count on the page, or on a main page and then have the actual card counting on a different page.

Also, In the results I would list how many decks were used.

Not bad though.

Hey s1, that's a good starting point for practicing Hi-Lo system.

After you become an expert in counting cards, you should add the ace side count onto your program, i.e., from ace#1 all the way to ace#32 for a 8 deck bj game. Good luck.
I'm OK with Corps which pick and choose clienteles. Both insurance companies and casinos have the right to pick and choose customers. They may keep profitable ones and kicked out the rest. But, I'm not OK with a casino supervisor who says counting cards... is like stealing food from a buffet (a foodlifting offense), or video-taping a movie in a cinema (a piracy offense).

Nice job, s1reric. Hi-Opt I with ace side count would be better for the single deck game. Hi-Lo is fine for shoe games.

I appreciate the input. When you say # of decks did you mean # of rounds/flips in the game? I went ahead added that feature which should be available if your refresh the page. If you did mean # of decks I can probably fit that in somewhere as well.

In regards to the instructions, did you mean to keep them somewhere on the page besides/instead of the instructions that first pops up when you first load the page?

Thanks Artemis and 1BB, I have added the Ace side count to my to-do list.

Hey S1, here are more to do for you:

1) to program the flashcards for practicing/memorizing the BJ strategy.

I had never thought of #1 that's great and wouldn't be too hard.

The #2 a/b looks to be fun to work on, added as well.

I'll have to figure out start figuring out how prioritize these, thank you very much.

S1, you're welcome. Thanks for your programming and contribution to the card counter community.


To make it easier for you to program the flashcards, I found some condensed basic strategy:

Chart#1 is for a 2 deck bj game:

Chart#2 is for a 6 deck bj game:

Hell yes that is exactly what I'm looking for thank you!!

And it's absolutely no problem at all, it's always enjoyable to work on projects that actually interest me. Plus getting the type of feedback I've received from you and the others in this thread makes it that much better.

I'll update this thread as soon as some of these have been implemented.

I just tried it again. I selected 6 decks and 8 rounds. When it got done, the statistics at the bottom showed me as playing 2 rounds.
