Learn-to count BlackJack is for the serious BlackJack player, the one that feels that the key to winning is to learn how to count the cards as they go by, so that you know what cards have gone by, and it will be possible to make money playing BlackJack. [yes, and pigs fly-matter of fact one just went by!] Don't get me wrong, I realize that counting cards will help a person to win in many games, I've seen it happen, it's the idea of making money playing cards or gambling of any kind that makes me talk strange. 

If you are skeptical, [don't push and shove-there's room for all of us here] there is a proof button, they recommend that you run it for 100 shoes [that's decks to us layfolk-don't you love it when someone talks technical?] So I did-I ran the proof button and allowed it to run for 100 shoes, and I have to say, put the rent money back in the bank, folks. It goes real fast so you got to watch closely, and during a proof it runs by itself-the dealer and 7 people. At one point about halfway through I was over $5000 in winnings, but then it started dropping steadily, at about 95 shoes I dropped all the way down to $30, and I ended up with about $300. [seems like it didn't prove counting helped, seems like it proves my theory-winnings flow in waves, and if someone could quit on the crest of a wave, they might make a few shekels, but most people will always think that the next wave will break just a little higher!]

On the other hand, I must say that this is a very intricate game, compared to the BlackJack games one usually sees. The options have such things as chip value, cut percent to end of shoe, and display in 10ths of seconds [did you know that was important?]

So, all I can say is this, if you are really into BlackJack; or you want to learn how to go gambling and maybe lose your rent money, download this program and check it out. You just might find out that you just GOTTA have it!
