I’m an old man who is ever so astonished by the human brain. In my long life I have owned many businesses; from a potato farm, a pumice mine, and a gold mine; to a casino, an insurance company, and a bank. I knew very little about the products of these many companies, with the exception of an acting school, but I was smart enough to hire brilliant people to make my ownership delightful.

The casinos will always be able to pay their rents as long as Blackjack players believe you draw on a fifteen total hand and stand on a sixteen total hand when playing Basic Blackjack and not casing or counting the Blackjack deck. A quick read of Blackjack EZ Count will show you there are four more cards that will hurt a fifteen trying to become a twenty-one than there are cards that will help a fifteen trying to become a twenty-one. So if you want to think outside-the-box and not stumble after the crowd when playing Basic Blackjack you should draw on a fourteen total hand and stand on fifteen total hand because four more cards will help a fourteen trying to become a twenty-one than will hurt a fourteen trying to become a twenty-one.

Casing a Blackjack deck is your first step to becoming a Blackjack card counter by observing the cards being played and giving yourself a little better chance of taking money off the table and bringing it home. Casing a Blackjack deck is really quite simple: you observe the number of Tens, Jacks, Queens, and Kings being dealt from the Blackjack deck and weigh that against the other cards being dealt from the Blackjack deck and then decide if you should break the draw on fourteen or stand on fifteen rule because you know there are fewer small cards being dealt then there are Tens, Jacks, Queens and Kings being dealt so you know that means the deck is fairly heavy with small cards as opposed to Tens, Jacks, Queens and Kings so there is less chance of you drawing a card that will hurt a breaking hand. Or you see there are more Tens, Jacks, Queens and Kings hiding in the deck so you know that you are more likely to draw a card that will hurt your breaking hand. By drawing on fourteen and standing on fifteen when you have a breaking hand and using card casing you will have a little better chance of bringing home the cash. Your next step is to learn to count cards by giving a value to each card that you see dealt on your Blackjack table.

Blackjack is the only casino game that you can teach yourself to take a little cash off the table and bring it home. There are many counting methods. Most are difficult to learn, for an average guy like me, so I have learned over the years that simplicity works best for most people.

Take a look at this counting method; a method that has served me well for fifty-seven years of my life. Today we are going to learn to make the casinos our twenty-four-hour-seven-days a week bank. Let’s get started. Sit on the stool, at the end of the table, on the Dealer's right hand side. It would be nice if you could go head-to head with the dealer, but that will be rare. If there are two other people at the table, you are in the last position to the immediate right of the dealer; you count:

Zero when an Ace shows.

Plus two when a two shows

Plus two when a three shows.

Plus two when a four shows.

Plus two when a five shows.

Plus one when a six shows.

Plus one when a seven shows.

Minus one when a eight shows.

Minus one when a nine shows.

Minus two when a ten shows.

Minus two when a Jack shows.

Minus two when a Queen shows.

Minus two when a King shows.

If you count correctly, the count will always end up zero on the last card. An excellent way to learn the EZ Blackjack count is as follows: take a full deck of cards and place the deck face down in the palm of your left hand. Place your left thumb in the center of the first card in the deck and push it to the right until your middle finger catches the right edge of the card and slides it face up through the crease between the middle and index fingers and then your ring finger and little finger should be used to pull the card face up under the deck. You count as the card disappears under the full deck of cards.

Let's go through a deck and use this method. There will much repetition, but this book is all about repetition. If you can't handle repetition, you will not be able to learn the EZ Count method. Always carry a deck of cards fifty-two cards strong and then pull it out and use it to learn the EZ Count method by flipping the cards with the finger on your left hand while walking or riding on the bus or sitting and watching commercials on the television. Here comes the repetition. We are going to count all fifty-two cards of this first deck.

Place the deck face down in the palm of your left hand. Place your left thumb in the center of the first card n the deck and push it to the right until your middle finger catches the right edge of the card and slides it face up through the crease between the middle and index fingers and then your ring and little fingers pull the card face up under the deck. You count as the card disappears under the full deck of cards. A Jack is
