Why this module matters

Counting fails when you hesitate. Speed Count turns the card→value step into reflex so your brain stays free for the real job: tracking the running count and staying calm at a table.

Level 1 Systems (Beginner)

Hi-Lo — The classic, most popular system

+1 2–6   0 7–9   -1 10–A

KO (Knock-Out) — Unbalanced, no true count needed!

+1 2–7   0 8–9   -1 10–A

Red 7 — Unbalanced with color twist

+1 2–6, red 7s   0 black 7s, 8–9   -1 10–A

Hi-Opt I — Aces neutral, good for side-counting

+1 3–6   0 2, 7–9, A   -1 10–K

Level 2 Systems (Advanced)

Omega II — High accuracy, harder to use

+2 4–6   +1 2,3,7   0 8,A   -1 9   -2 10–K

Zen Count — Best all-around Level-2

+2 4–6   +1 2,3,7   0 8,9   -1 A   -2 10–K

Hi-Opt II — Maximum insurance correlation

How to use this to increase skill

• Start in Manual until you can hit 30 correct in a row without thinking.
• Move to Slow. Your target is “no panic.” If you blank, drop back.
• Use Fast to simulate real table tempo.
• Use Blitz only when Fast feels easy — it trains recovery after mistakes.

Key definitions

• Shoe: multiple decks combined (commonly 8 decks in major casinos).
• Running Count: the total that changes as cards appear.
• True Count: running count adjusted for decks remaining (used for bet decisions).
