If you have already mastered a few other blackjack card counting strategies and are still looking for something a little more effective, you have come to the right place. The Hi Opt 2 card counting system is exactly what you are looking for.

However first, there is a warning. This system is very powerful and effective. It is extremely accurate and will send your winning percentage through the roof. While this is a good thing, casinos will start to notice you and if you get caught while doing this, you will probably be thrown out. Now, this is not illegal but still casinos frown upon it and they play by their own rules. If you want to use this system, use it discreetly and pace yourself. No system will work if you get banned from the casino.

Now that we have that important caveat out of the way, let’s take a deeper look into the Hi Opt 2 card count system.

The main difference between this system and others is the fact that there are cards that will add +2 to the count and not just +1 and 0 like most other systems. While this makes it a little more difficult to keep a running count, it also means that the count will be more accurate and will give you more opportunities to win money. If you can handle a basic card counting system, you will be able to master this system with a little bit of practice.

Here is the system:

An Ace adds 0 to the overall count. Twos and Threes add 1 to the count. Fours and Fives add 2 to the count. Sixes and Sevens add 1 to the count. Eights and nines add 0 to the count. Tens, Jacks, Queens and Kings subtract 2 from the overall count. As you can see, this is a little more sophisticated than a basic KO strategy, but with a little practice, it is super easy. Here is an example hand with five players and a dealer. Try to determine the count…

Dealers Hand: Ace – 5

Player 1: Jack – 2

Player 2: 7-2

Player 3: 10-5

Player 4: Queen – King

Player 5: 6-8

The count for this round is an even 0. The dealer’s hand has a value of +2, Player 1 has -1, Player 2 has +2, Player 3 has 0, Player 4 has -4 and Player 5 has +1, totaling 0.

Like other blackjack systems, the higher the count, the more advantageous the shoe is for you. In the situation above, you would not make any adjustments to your bet size and would wait for a few more rounds.

That’s really all there is to this system. It can be a bit difficult to learn at first but with a little practice, you will have no trouble implementing this very effective strategy. However, as previously mentioned, be careful. If you don’t pace yourself and win lots of money in a short period of time, the casinos will take notice. Head over to the tables and try it out for yourself.
