21!
A couple of weeks ago Heatehr and I went and saw 21 with Justin and Laurie. I loved the movie! It's about card counting and turning the odds in favor of the player in Blackjack. As I was watching the movie I thought, "Being the genius/nerd I am, I could make a computer program that would count cards for me and tell me what the count is at and what the chances of getting each card are." So a couple of nights ago I wrote a program that did just that and it works like a charm. So for all of your enjoyment here is a link to the program. http://www.nrjsurveillance.com/cardCounting.exe.
Instructions for the program: Each time a card is dealt type in the value of that card. 2-9 for 2-9, 10 for 10 & face cards, and 11 for aces. They say you should bet when the true count is +2 but I would wait for +3 to get better odds.
